🎙️ Tune in to the latest episode of The Ruck as we discuss the RFU’s executive pay row and more.

We call it facts and analysis.

Take a listen and decide for yourselves.

We binned Disney+ a couple of years ago as no one was watching anything on it at all. Just re-subscribed and there are some great things there now. Particularly enjoying Shogun (based on the James Clavell novel). No I don’t work for Disney or get endorsements from them btw 😂😂
