We roll on into the final regular season weekend of Super Rugby.

It's another episode with those American Rugby hammerheads and we are happily celebrating the results on the Premiership Final. We talk about where this Saracens side ranks amongst Europes elite, how Exeter can get themselves just that tiny nudge up into the same category and how it all played out at Twickenham. We also talk about the other match at Twickenham, the Barbarians and a very young Engl...

In our 3rd rendition of The Fantasy Corner, we have a look at the Premiership Final and the fantasy results that came from it. Who ended up being the best captain to pick?

In this Fantasy Corner we talk about which guys to play in your Rugby Mag team for the upcoming final, answer a question, get our FIRST e-mail and give you the do's and don'ts fo...

A longer episode than we normally like, but with this being the last weekend of this much rugby on tap, it seemed like it was worth it to us. Plus we talk about some good stuff, including pay walls. It sounds boring, but I know we aren't the only ones that are frustrated by the quality given to us for the prices we are forced to pay to watch our beloved teams, especially here in the U.S. And of co...

Alex Goode..a legend in more than one way. Oh, right and a Champions Cup Winner for the 3rd time. In this episode we review the action at St. James, make up for one last great of the game that's saying his farewells. Also, an interesting discussion on coaches, the media and how that relationship results in certain levels of criticism. Finally, all the action from down under and how the quarter-fin...

Here's a glimpse new segment I'd like to keep in the episode as often as possible, but sometimes we'll cut it out and publish it as it's own episode in order to not have too long of a run time on the episode. Apologies for the audio hiccup here, haven't the slightest clue what happened, but if you can bare with it, the questions that we answer might be helpful to you and your fantasy team. Thanks...

WE ARE BACK and it was a big weekend in terms of action on the pitch, BUT there was plenty of news to have at off of it as well. In this episode we talk about some unfortunate news coming out of Canadian rugby, and the amazing response that came from the community. We also touch on the amazing servants to the game that are saying their farewells, and also have a look at the world cup referees that...

Your favorite American rugby fools are coming at you with another episode.

A little longer episode than we usually like to do, but it's got plenty of good banter and ruggers chat. We talk about the relegation outlook for each team at the bottom of the Prem. Who is likely to replace an injured All Black's super star at the World Cup and also, we talk about who's got the biggest pumpkins out there.

Ben returns to TFRY and his rightful place at the mic to help discuss a great weekend of rugby with some crazy things happening. We recap all things Premiership including the battle for relegation, top 4 and top 6. Who is the best team in the South Africa conference? Your guess is as good as ours at this point. Who deserves to recall into the Wallabies squad, and why we are loving on Joe Marler oh...

It's a solo effort this week with Jarrod steering the ship alone. It's a very digestible episode for all, there wasn't a large detail gone into on every match as we tend to do. The key talking points weren't completely breezed over though, so not to worry. We also look at this weekend's matches with both guy's picks as well as some fantasy advice for both the Prem and Super Rugby. Sit back and enj...

It was an exciting weekend back in the Premiership with movement all over, especially in the bottom 3rd of the table.

All that and more on this weeks episode of TFRY. Follow us on Twitter: Jarrod- j...

What a final round it was for 6 Nations, what did we learn in this tournament and what's in store for the World Cup? Is Johnny Sexton still the best player in the world? Also, we talk about the unusual amount of draws and comebacks in all competitions. Finally, is ring-fencing the answer for the Premiership? We touch on that and more as James joins us to talk some ruggers and other shenanigans. Fo...

Jarrod's flying solo in this one, schedules just were not our friends, so here's a quick pod just to give you some tips on your teams playing this weekend in both Fantasy Premiership with The Rugby Mag and Fantasy Super Rugby with Fantasy Rugby Draft. Be sure to catch us next week as we will likely not have 1, but 2 more voices back on the show. Should be a good one, be sure to e-mail us with your...

There's lots that'll be happening this weekend, yes apart from all the news we've heard over the last week or so. We do discuss some of those topics on this episode including the bit of trouble our boys, Saracens, got themselves in. Also, who's to blame for Worcester's flat line at Kingston Park last week. We wrap up the weekend's action in both Premiership and Super Rugby, give our advice on your...

We felt that this discussion on the recently announced and somewhat fumbled, Nations League, deserved it's own mini-episode, so here it is. Hear our thoughts on the pros the cons, all the holes that still exist with it and what World Rugby needs to do to make this better than it initially looked. This is actually one of our best debates to date so we hope you enjoy. Please send us your thoughts, f...

WHAT…A…WEEKEND of rugby. This episode is a little long, but I promise you we did our best to not drone on about too much nonsense. We cover it all, the big matches in the 6 Nations is our focus, but we go around the grounds in the Premiership and Super Rugby. We give a nod to a great Tiger who has decided to hang ‘em up. A couple of fantasy select sides to help you make some changes to both your 6...

It's part two of this weeks pod, someday we'll find a way to condense this down to an hour. In this pod, James joins Ben and Jarrod and talk about all things Super Rugby including a look back at some fantastic opening weekend matches. Is Quade back!? How much is Brad Thorn and company kicking themselves? Speaking of kicking themselves, how much will the Chiefs be kicking themselves this week?...

Things to consider for all the players that will likely be mi...

In part 2 of episode 18, we are looking at the opening weekend of Super Rugby along with a recap of the action from the women’s 6 nations. There are some big names not starting this weekend so we have some thoughts to consider for those that are stuck in a bind. Is this the year the Lions finally break through or does the Kiwi conference continue to reign supreme? What do you do when you’re down a...

In part 1 of this episode, we focus on things in the Northern Hemisphere, including some unfortunate items from USA Rugby, not just their loss this past weekend either. Obviously, we get into the 6 Nations related news such as injuries to Hogg, Sexton, Mako and the likes. Is there a new breed of animal that is plaguing rugby this tournament? Ben seems to think so, Laidlaw might agree. Jarrod gives...

Now returning to our regularly scheduled programming. I know you're all disappointed James is not on this week, he did hint at a return at some point though.
