The Rugby Pod is back for 2026 and the lads kick off the new year by rounding up a huge festive period of rugby before looking ahead to what promises to be a blockbuster year. Jim, Goodey and Bigs dig into the Premiership at the halfway mark, picking their biggest surprises so far, before a deep dive on England’s wing options as Immanuel Feyi-Waboso steals the show and selection debates rage ahead of the Six Nations. There’s statement wins for Northampton, Leicester and Newcastle, big questions for Harlequins and Gloucester. Over in the URC, the table is turned on its head as the Dragons surge, Leinster and Ulster flex their muscle, and the South African derbies deliver some chaos . The lads also preview a massive weekend of Champions Cup action on Premier Sports, fire through some predictions for 2026, and hand out the first Good, Bad & Ugly of the season. 0:00 Christmas Review 5:32 English Rugby is on FIRE 13:00 England Winger Debate 19:00 Whats happening at Gloucester & Quins 29:00 Prem Rugby Wrap Up 41:40 In Other NEWS 46:05 URC Chaos 1:04:00 2026 Predictions 1:06:20 The Goode, The Bad & The Ugly 1:12:30 Shoutouts
