Rugby #10

Welcome to The Thistle, the only podcast that cares about Scottish rugby. A light-hearted look at rugby union in Scotland, from three rugby fans who never quite made the grade. Expect razor sharp insight from a panel that can count amongst its achievements a Scottish Schools Cup winners medal, the captaincy of the Newcastle 2s dirt trackers, and second place at the 2016 Elie beach rugby tournament.

    Easily the best intro song on a Scottish rugby podcast around.
    Provides solid analysis on bacon rolls and also talks about all things Scottish rugby. Great dudes!
  • I Miss Ron Elving
    Great Stuff!
    Fantastic, informative and funny, this podcast covers the things no other pods seems to care about - all things Scottish!
  • Boston Rugger
    Brightening My Week
    I have searched for rugby podcasts and was always disappointed until now. No one ever covers enough Scottish rugby for me (being a huge Glasgow fan in the US this is vital)! Keep it up, and I love the quizzes.
  • PaulHMoran
    You talk baws.... rugby baws
    Great stuff lads particularly when the majority of UK based podcasts tend to be dismissive of the Pro 12/14 and worst still the Scotland & the Scottish pro-teams barely get a mention. So this is where I get my Scottish rugby fix.... which is nigh on impossible when you live abroad. In the pods all too brief existence I have tuned in regularly from the USA, Saudi Arabia & Canada and wait with baited breath for each new upload! Awrabestnthat! Paul
  • Strathallian in Milwaukee
    Yeah, but No, it's great!
    Its so great to hear a proper Scottish rugby podcast. Its fairly diffcult being a scottish rugby fan at the best of times, but the lads embrace the humour and banter of scottish rugby, with some actually decent insights! Well worth a listen for anyone who loves the game and the "Social" side of things too!
  • JP Swain
    Love it, Sort Of
    Love the pod, keeps me connected from afar, but Alan how many times can one man say Sort Of in a sentence?
  • animefan12
    From New York with Love
    Definitely have a blast listening to the guys talking about Scottish rugby and how two teams hold up an entire country. Also, stop making for Matt about his love of Anime. As a fan myself of Japanese cartoons and comics, I was quite offended!
  • agtmcphie
    Ever improving
    After some awful audio episodes (I stopped listening for 3 pods after one where two of the lads were dialled in) and a little too much edinburgh private school chat, this has become a weekly listen I look forward to. Great insight, excellent interviews and the right amount of 'rugby lad chat'. The quality of production and commentary are improving every week, keep up the good work.
  • From the heart of the scrum
    Scotland rugby from USA
    Love your podcast. I long for Scotland rugby news, and you provide it in bunches. Your pod is stronger than a David Soul scrum, greater than a Duncan Hodge whitewash of England, higher than a Chris Patterson drop goal, more exciting than a Stuart Hogg break, and more joyous than a Bill McClaren try call. Keep it up. We are listening.
