It's another funfilled ep from those American rugby dopes. On this episode we look at the big debut in the PWR at Ashton Gate and of course the match that corresponded with it. We are then jumping around the Prem for Round 10 and the start of the back half of the season. We go from the Toon, the Holm, the Road, the StoneX and the Gardens.

It's the fun of those American rugby knuckleheads to start your 2025 right. On this episode of TFRY we look back, with fondness, on the year that was, 2024 with recognition of our XV, Coach/DOR, Rookie and Players of The Year. Many names in common in our XVs, just not all in the same positions. Then we look back at a rather poor round of the Prem, BUT focus on The Big Game at HQ where everyone won...

We are back again from yet another 1 week hiatus. On this episode with those American rugby knuckleheads we get into the take aways from this year's World Rugby awards. Where did they get it wrong and who possibly got robbed. Also, no Dupont is not the first to win for both XVs and VIIs, check your history. We then get into the action at the StoneX in the PWR, who is this Saracens team and what ha...

After another weeks hiatus those American rugby fools are back! Sadly we are not talking about much positive with the women's game as we lead with the WRU doing a hold my beer and TRN dropping the ball on the PWR GOTW, hot start. Then we did into the internationals, all the bits from the Aviva to Murray Field and everything between. Our superlatives and counterpoints are bound to annoy some folks,...

It's more from those American rugby fools. On this episode (finally) we are talking about big things in the Prem and PWR including honoring a legend that calls time on the game on her 100th appearance. Of course, we wrap all the action from places like the Gate, the Rec and the StoneX. Plus, we answer the question posed a few weeks ago with some data, is 25 point a lot? If you've been listening, y...

FINALLY, it's not just those American rugby knuckleheads, it's the legendary Julia Singer making us look real good with her words of wisdom (though due to technical issues we lost her last bit of audio on her sign off). Jump in with both feet as Julia discusses all things women's rugby with us and we hatch a horrible (or genius) idea, for a bonus episode. Oh yeah, and we talk Prem round 5 and all...

It's another fun filled Fantasy Corner. On this episode of the FC we are talking about standings in the new PWR league, we suspect there are more entries to come in this week. We talk about whose stock is up, whose is down and some dark horses still yet to be given their shot. Then it's our funny little Start or Sit thing we do. Grab those notepads and enjoy! Check out the TFRY Patreon at https://...

It's more from those American rugby knuckleheads. On this episode, we are looking at the opening round of PWR, of course, and the GOTW featuring the defending champions. We are in agreement, someone from last year's winners, has a point to prove to their international coach. Then we make our hope skip and jump around the Premiership including the BIG result at The Rec for the visitors. We then run...

It's fantasy fun time from TFRY. On this ep of the FC, we are rolling out this season's variation of PWR Fantasy. Be sure you get yourselves sign-up with us for all the fun this season!

It is more fun from those American (rugby) Idiots.

It is the latest, greatest, and newest (format) from those dopes in America who seem obsessed with rugby. On this episode, with some newly added bits and bobs, we start with our usual game recap from the opening round of the Prem. It's then time for some new bits and bobs with player of the week, try of the week, and even a dick of the week. All this and so much more, so kick back with a nice drin...

IT'S THE FIRST FANTASY CORNER OF THE SEASON! I hope everyone is as excited as that first sentence was supposed to be. On the first FC of the new season we are looking at the Superbru Premiership game (sorry Dream XV players, we can't even participate in it). We have a look at who is worth their fat price tags, who is overpriced, and who the steals of the season could be. Yes, we are also doing our...

It's ANOTHER season of those American rugby knuckleheads. Welcome back friends, on this episode the Yanks are discussing all things Premiership, discussing all things for each club, and looking at their potential finishes. Did the Saints do enough to reload and repeat? Who is the most volatile of the clubs? Who is on the hot seat and who may be a dark horse getting into the top 4 this season? Also...

Yes, we have returned from our long hiatus, only to be going on our official season's end break. There's still plenty to dive into though, as we go through our international round ups including the foolishness that are, the United States Mens Eagles and all the ridiculous decisions happening with them. We also look back at the end of our fun-filled Fantasy season as we crown champions and say see...

We have returned from our very much undesired week hiatus. It's more foolishness from those American rugby knuckleheads. On this episode, we FINALLY discuss the Prem Final and the happenings in that, including the Obano Red Card. Of course, that leads int our Prem XV of the year (be prepared to be pissed). We then go over to Super Rugby and the big semifinals, looking at how we got ourselves to th...
