About this listen

 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

    Apr 14 2026
    We're joined this week by Dax second row Charlie Matthews ahead of his side's huge derby fixture against Mont-de-Marsan, to discuss the Pro D2 relegation battle, life in Landes and how he went from Butcher's shopfloor to Biarritz in a matter of days. Rob is back from his travels having witnessed a Champions Cup classic as Bordeaux prevail over Toulouse, Toulon shock Glasgow and there's off-field scraps aplenty in the Petit-Fours.

    Apr 7 2026
    UBB and Toulouse produced masterclasses to set up a quarter final for the ages in the Champions Cup, whilst Toulon sneak a nail-biter and Stade Francais are dumped out of the Challenge Cup. We've got all the action from Europe, literal carnage in Pro D2, and a very, very mixed bag of April Fools nonsense in the petit-fours.

    S3 EP32 - Don't Switch Off Before the Final Whistle
    Mar 31 2026
    Rich dials in from his holidays to join Rob to run through a dramatic and entertaining weekend of Top 14 action. French teams and British fans alike will be gearing up for the return of the Champions Cup and Challenge Cup this week, so we consider: do the French teams care more than everyone else? There is, of course, a significant round of Pro D2 action to digest as well, after some significant shuffling of the pack in the Pro D2 table.
