Keep up the good work
Great podcast. Great combination of hosts. As a Welshman who no longer lives in Wales, your team give me the rugby talk that I can no longer get in the pub on the weekend!! Keep it up!!

It’s Ok, but ….
Lauren and GRO can be a bit pompous and condescending at times. And I have to laugh at the pretentious decision to get rid of the distinctive “Good podcast!” intro. It’s like when Dos Equis got rid of the popular “Most Interesting Man in the World” character because of some nebulous belief among the corporate suits that it was “time for a change.” The company ended up outsmarting itself by failing to come up with anything new that was as good or memorable as that character. Now no one pays much attention at all to Dos Equis or Dos Equis commercials - and if the Scrum V podcast isn’t careful, the same fate may soon await it.

Learning!
Love, love, love the Lions Tour’74 series. I’m learning so much, and it is fascinating. Always love this show anyway. Thank you!

California Catchup!
I always look forward to the new release and catching up with the show from California. Love listening to your views and discussions, with honest yet sometimes witty remarks about the state of Welsh Rugby. Go team Mullet!!

Great podcast, sharp insights and excellent interviews ... takes me back to cathedral road when I listen. Please bring back the World Cup musical intro!

Thanks!
I don’t miss these rugby podcasts here in Pennsylvania - Gareth and Nicky do a great job with interesting guests. The Scott Baldwin interview was award winning. Ideal company for a Tredegar boy far from home.

Brilliant
The best Welsh Rugby podcast to listen to when you are far away from home in Arkansas, USA. Keep the good work up boys!

The lilting accents...
Love the pod, great fun and the occasional keen insight... the hosts are knowledgeable but light-hearted, and it’s worth a listen if for the accents alone (at least, as an American.) Thanks for the great work!

Good Job
Really loved the coverage of the World Cup. I’m a Welshman living in America and you guys kept me in touch with the welsh take on the last 7 weeks. Thank you for the work you have all put in... good job 👍🏼

My Florida commute enjoyment!
Thoroughly ending your pods while driving to and from work here in Tampa Bay Area (Aberystwyth boy at heart!) Nicky is one of the best post game analysts in the business! Top notch man of knowledge. Helps me deal deal with the bad Florida drivers on a daily basis 😂 Lastly, Gareth, don’t stress or be concerned about background noise in every pod, we barely notice it until you mention it . . . remember, Martyn Williams used munch on snacks when he was speaking!!!! 😡😡

Like the pod but....
Hi, In general I love the podcasts you have been doing on the rugby World Cup. But since Nicky has gone back home to Wales the last two episodes have been a bit pants. After Nicky has checked the roof of your house and got you a new pair of flip flops get him back ASAP. Cho Prendergast (massive welsh supporter living in Gig Harbor W.A)

Best rugby podcast in the world ever!
Great podcast from the team - Martin gives a fantastic insight into being an international player. The best part is the access/interviews with current players and coaches. I always listen when walking the dog, reflecting on the weekend past and looking forward to the weekend coming.

Great Podcast for Welsh Rugby!
A really enjoyable listening experience (for an ex-pat living in the Dominican Republic) with analysis, interviews and news from Welsh, British, European and World rugby. Diolch yn fawr!

Sitting in my car in the other Valley. Silicon Valley.
Love the show. It really keeps me in touch with Welsh rugby. I just can’t do American sports. I’m originally from Abercynon but now live in Mountain View, California. Steff and Martyn provide not only great insights but good old Welsh banter. One thing I have noticed is the increase speed button to X2 on my app sends the accents 15 or more miles up the A470. Can you arrange it so scrumV is available outside the UK. Kills me not being able to watch the TV version during six nations.

Great podcast - listen every week!
Love the podcast, but you need a way of getting feedback via the BBC. I like I'm sure many listen via the BBC website, I never open iTunes, it just took me 10 minutes to find this review page. You would have many more reviews if it was easier toleave a review. Maybe open up a BBC HYS on the pod page? Anyway, keep it coming boys, great stuff...l

Best Welsh rugby pod on the planet
If you’re after the latest Welsh rugby news sandwiched between key interviews and light banter, this pod is your jam. The boys stop at nothing to bring the goods, even if that means getting down to weatherspoons before midday. Agree with Tusmeister that Nugget deserved his spot in the creds but I have to say I miss the old voiceover. This one serves its function but is lacking in energy. Pod 5 stars. Intro 2.

Why isn’t Nugget’s name in the title?
Great podcast, never miss an episode, as a big 7’s fan, really enjoying the quick tap as well. Have to ask whether Martyn is on probation and if his name will get added to the title when he’s passed it.

Great way to keep up with Welsh Rugby
I am living in the US and this is the best way to keep up with the international and regional teams. Love the informal nature and player interviews.
