Someone (sorry forget who) mentioned this site the other day. Basically its a home site to download the podcast. Its basically by Djuro Sen and Mark Cashman. These guys did Tah Talk, which was good if not a little basic. Well Sen left NSWRU and has set it up again, and its bigger and better in my eyes. They have Link McKenzie and Les Kiss on every week to talk Euro rugby. But they really cover world rugby very well with good contacts around the globe.

Its probably the best rugby podcast, which isn't saying much at the moment, but deserves to be supported.

Thanks

It is the best bits from Tah talk listening so far.

Lote's interview was pretty good, he seems to focus on the mental side a lot more than you would think looking at him and his incites about the easy draw in the RWC were very good. Especially looking at the English draw.

anyone who listened to the last podcast and specifically Link's comments on the Perp v Stade game, and more specifically the cheerleaders and the tiger!

Great podcast this week, Eddie O'Sullivan is the guest and they talk about coaching, priorities, leadership and skills coaching.

Whoa, Growden referenced ruggamatrix finally in his latest article as well. Wonder if Djuro Sen et al had a bit of a go at him and Guinness about not referencing them in prior articles. Interesting that Growden, Guinness and ruggamatrix all keep chatting to each other on Twitter. And to some weirdo called "RugbyNoddy" as well.

Nice podcast this week, there is a Tahs agenda there in the going wide debate, but the insight on attacking styles and approaches is very very interesting.

Things like the reasons why the Crusaders used to have Jack "seagulling" (and now Ross) (and I thought it was lazyiness :-[)

And don't forget our mention! Those guys know quality when they see it.....

I didn't find a mention of the TYS - 90mins is too long to listen to.

The discussion on the wide game was very good - this is something the current tahs rarely do.

there is no TYS. We are Green and Gold. Check the web address above!

I was referring to the banner! Anyway I did find the reference to green and gold rugby :thumb

I think the Tahs don't do it because they don't have the cattle in the backrow, Waugh, Mowan and Palu are not/can not operate at the speed of Latimer and Messam.

Actually I don't think the Reds do either (a Braid is much more mobile than Waugh)and that is one of the reasons they are leaders in turnovers conceded.

totally agree fp.

Would that make the Force Australia's best wide pill potential candidates with Pocock and Brown?

and they showed it last night.

Don't expect the Tahs to fling it wide against them, they will call scrums off free kicks and flood the breakdown

Agree - some more thoughts and video "analysis" on it here: http://www.greenandgoldrugby.com/how-force-thrashed-red/

Thanks, he may not be a showy as Smith, but he sure gets through some work.

The latest Podcast is bloody interesting, Les Kiss does some interesting analysis on the All Blacks defensive structure, why Muggleton's old systems are unlikely to work under the current rules etc etc well worth a listen

Great stuff FP. WHat a few of have said to those posting for the return of Muggo. I have no doubt that had he stayed on the Wallabies would have conceded fewer tries this year but the systems he had in place hamper the rapid realignment for attack and also as Kiss said don't adjust quickly enough under the new interpretations.

The Macqueen/Muggo partnership changed the way Rugby was played from '98 onwards and still has major effects in Oz (and not for the better now). It is one of the reasons I am really looking forward to seeing what the Rebels bring to the comp next year. What will be the new Macqueen style? It will be an epic fail if the constant possession game were tried (and I don't think he would).
