Summary

 Join Rob and Rich, two Englishmen ('Rosbifs'), as they dive into the heart of French rugby. From the glitz and glamour of the Top14, the madness of ProD2 and the highs and lows of Les Bleus on the international stage, this podcast is a love letter to France's brutal but beautiful game. There's stories from travels to France, dubious insights into French cuisine and culture, and even the odd bit of advice on getting you out to watch a game. Whether you're a die-hard French rugby nerd, curious about the towns and cities central to the game across the Channel, or just enjoy the odd tall tale from our special guests, The Rosbifs Rugby Podcast has you covered! This podcast is for you if you find yourself asking questions such as… How do I follow French Rugby in the UK? How do I follow French Rugby if I don’t speak French? What happened to Le French Rugby Podcast? Is there anyone that talks about French Rugby in English? What is good about French Rugby? Why is rugby popular in France? How does French rugby have so much money? What Top 14 team should I support? Are there any podcasts about French Rugby, Top 14 or Pro D2? What is the best rugby experience in France? What is the best place to visit for rugby in France? How do I organise a trip to watch a Top 14 game?Copyright 2024 All rights reserved. Rugby Social Sciences Travel Writing & Commentary
