WSotR Series 1 E16: A Moonshot, a Birthday and a Massive Win (Anthem vs. Legion MLR 2026)

WSotR Series 1 E17: Berets, Old Front Rowers and an Irish Goodbye (Ulster vs. Montpelier, Challenge Cup Final 2026)

We tried setting the couch up inside San Memes in Bilbao but security wouldn't let us so you'll have to enjoy us this way. This was chocked up to be a huge match; Ulster with 4 big players out gave them the underdog status that we all knew they could hold, but could they deliver? If you ask their coaches as they walked out early, no. Tocco continues his complex relationship with all things French, we talk a live show coming up while we're in Saranac, Jones can't stop talking about Cormac izuchukwu and his cornrows and the efficacy of old man front rowers. This episode may have been loosey goosey, but we're locked in. Mostly. It's rugby the way you've always wanted it; cold beer in hand, partly right and confidently incorrect. Welcome to the Wrong Side of the Ruck, we think you'll like it here.

WSotR Series 1 E16: A Moonshot, a Birthday and a Massive Win (Anthem vs. Legion MLR 2026)

The Couch is a little bigger this week as we squeeze in what is really just an XL B-Side parading as a normal episode. We go back into the vault and pull out our watch of the Anthem vs. Legion MLR match from this year. Yea, that one. Anthem get their historic first win on a night where the TMO can't be found, Tocco misidentifies an entire demographic and somehow we get on Willam Dafoe and porn. Either way, we got to witness a scrappy, beautiful little moonshot of a match that could be the launchpad for whatever we're going to get done for the 2031 World Cup. Come join us on the couch and lets watch this bitch take off. Plus, it was Mooneyhan's birthday. Welcome to Wrong Side of the Ruck, we think you'll like it here.

WSotR Series 1 E15: Bad Blood, Bad Bunker and Magnum PI (Highlanders vs. Waratahs, Super Rugby 2026)

The Waratahs needed this win. The Highlanders, and the boys, needed this one more. None of us needed the TMO reviewing anything during the game and yet they couldn't stop. Caleb Tangitau is back and immediately makes defenders wish he had taken another week off. There's a scrum half we formally recommend to be drawn and quartered, tries that made us stop mid-conversation and a bunker review that made us start several sentences we couldn't add on a more family friendly podcast. Charlie Gamble does flanker things looking like Magnum PI, Tocco still cant work the stream part of this podcast and Jones threatens to burn it all down. It was great. The beer was cold, the rugby was chaotic and the Waratahs 13th straight loss in New Zealand felt so sweet with the boys back in town. Welcome to the wrong side of the ruck. Come grab a seat on the couch, we think you'll like it here.

WSotR Series 1 E14: Yellow Cards, New Vocaublary, and We're All Going to Bilbao (Leinster vs. Toulon, Champions Cup SemiFinal 2026)

Strap into the couch today folks because we just got done watching thirteen Leinster players hold off a pissed off Toulon in a Champions Cup semi final. Somewhere between a bullshit TMO call, the second yellow card, and Tocco doing his best Leif Erikson to find Leinster on a map it all goes off the rails. Exactly where you'd expect us to end up. The battering ram theory of physics and tackling gets a full review, Gibson-park has the try of the match, until he didn't, and Jonesey makes too many points for anyone to actually follow. The couch, much like Leinster, is still intact. Welcome to Rugby on the Wrong Side of the Ruck. Yellow cards, new words and the Road to Bilbao. Get in losers, we think you'll like it here.

WSotR Series 1 E13: Fuckstick, Feral, and a Scrum to Die For (Bristol vs. Leicster, Premiership)

The couch is back this week and Leicester give us plenty to talk about in their defeat of Bristol. Theirs bonus point tries, cards and Tocco finally nails the tagline for us, twice, while finding out he needs space to run and frolic. We loose the questions for the mailbag, still don't have an intro for it, and Tocco takes on English drinking habits with a hot take that would turn Pollocks hair white. Er. White-er. We've got flanker on flanker crime, scrums so sexual you'll make rutting noises, nostalgic tales of the Vert and a Metzstein file that's still redacted. Come get cozy as we chat, confidently incorrect, about the sport we all love. It's rugby on the Wrong Side of the Ruck. We think you'll like it here.
