Podcast Overview

Wrong Side of the Ruck is a rugby podcast made by a pair of friends who love the game and love arguing about it even more. Coming at rugby from the American fan and player point of view, we break down club and international matches the way they’re actually talked about—after training, at the bar, or in a group chat. We cover leagues from around the world with context, history, tactics, and strong opinions, focusing on why matches matter, not just who won. Smart rugby talk, honest disagreements, no studio polish. We don't claim to be right, we just refuse to be silent.

WSotR S1 E20: Chip Kicks, Aluminum Curtains and Craigory the Cuck (Northampton vs. Leicstger Prem Semi 2026)

<p>Tocco drives the couch up the M1 this week and bitches about the gearbox being on the wrong side the entire way. Northampton hosted Leicster in one hell of a Premiership Semifinal that had us so locked in this almost became a B-Side. </p><p>There were chip kicks. There was chasing. There were too many fucking TMO called back tries. Craigory watched from the corner again. Tocco goes full Manson as we talk about what it takes to be a Hyena and somewhere through it all we manage to talk tech on scrums and the actual game. Sort of.</p><p>Come pull up a bit of the couch cause this week it&#39;s rugby how you love it; chaotic. Welcome to Wrong Side of the Ruck, we think you&#39;ll like it here.</p>

WSotR Series 1 E19: Ketamine, a Koenig Special and Big Trouble in Little Tokyo ( Japan Rugby Leage One Final 2026)

<p>We take the couch to the land of the rising where Jones and Tocco are in for a hell of a match during the Japan Pro League One Finals. The Kobe Steelers and Kubota Spears give a hell of a game, but we all know we&#39;re really just here for Dave Rennie and what he may bring to the All Blacks next year. Like Brodie Retalick, who may have been cast in the next Sling Blade. </p><p>We talk on how Tocco may still hate the French but he&#39;s clearly had enough beers to think that the Top14 is the best league in the world. There were scrums a tight head could salivate over, a side quest into broadcast technology and the old Koenig Special shows up from back in our playing days.</p><p>So pull up a bit of the couch because this is rugby the way you&#39;ve always loved id; cold beer in hand, half cocked opinion based on absolutely nothing and good people to argue with.</p><p>Welcome to the Wrong Side of the Ruck. We think you&#39;ll like it here.</p>

WSotR Series 1 E18: Barry, Big Ben and Bielle-Biarrey (2026 Champions Cup Final)

<p>Bilbao delivered with Bordeaux and so did the couch. Though this week is a little different after the shenanigans of last week as Tocco decides to pump the breaks on the Belgian Triples so Jones has to put the wildcard hat on. There are mullet crimes, hobbits and Jones can&#39;t keep his eyes off of Big Ben Tamiefuna.</p><p>We open the mailbag up a bit to field questions about the Nations cup while Bielle-Biarrey gets a comparison to Barry that&#39;s either completely right or completely wrong. We&#39;ve got serious conversations about backs in scrum caps, Jallibert is still sexy as hell and the TMO, once again, is still trash. The couch remains intact.</p><p>Welcome to Rugby the way you&#39;ve always loved it; on the Wrong Side. We&#39;ve got cold beer, a comfy seat and plenty of shit to talk. Welcome, we think you&#39;ll like it here.</p><p><br></p>
