  2. Episode 312: What Happens in the Shed Stays in the Shed (A Gallagher Premonition)

  5. Episode 309: Lock, Prop, and No Smoking Farrells

    Jesus...bloody....Christ... This week, Eddie recorded video of his (possibly very boring) Draft XV rugby draft with the Brethren. Whether or not that video will ever make it to YouTube is up to the evil Gods of technology... SHED!

  6. Episode 308: Nerdfest

    This week, Eddie has been alpha-maling it in at the "Renaissance Fair," and he has slightly more to say than last week... SHED!

  9. Episode 305: Bloody Romans

  11. Episode 303: Reaching New Heights

    Eddie is reaching new heights, this week, Sheddies!!! ... Physically. In terms of this podcast, it may be an all-time low: streams of barely coherent consciousness followed by failed attempts to remember what or who he's talking about absolutely litter this episode. It's, frankly, bloody…

  12. Episode 302: The Nothing Pod

    This week, Eddie really phones it in. No great insights, no effort, no real attempt to elicit any kind of excitement from the audience. It truly is a NOTHING podcast. But he does trash South Africans again. So...there's that. SHED!

  13. Episode 301: The Edyssey

    This week, Eddie is excited about a movie and challenging the views shared on his last episode, like some kind of weak bitch with no guts or conviction. Nevertheless, do not forget that Rugby Ranter Banter is the Homer's Odyssey of our times... SHED! 86 Up by tubebackr & HiLau Royalty Free Music…

  14. Episode 300: The Hardest One Yet

    Holy technology, Sheddies! This was probably the most Rugby Ranter Banter episode ever! Tech issues, an ai JB, moaning galore, plus absolute disrespect for Eddie's plan to save English rugby... Definitely one for the hardcore Sheddy! SHED!

  15. Episode 299: Edgy Stephens

  16. Episode 298: If You Can't Beat Them, Steal From Them

    This week, Eddie is in Oregon and podding in all sorts of pain... What went wrong in SA? What do we do about it? Who should play against Fiji? WELL?!!! So you have no idea? 🫤 Alright, I'll do all the talking. SHED! (No children were harmed in the making of this podcast)

  17. Episode 297: Where's Your Motivation Now?

    This week, Eddie is planning a psychologically dominant England squad to take on the self-righteous South African bastards, this weekend. SHED!

  18. Episode 296: Saint Whatshisname

    Saints win the Prem!!!! Eddie has a hard time remembering names and whatnot. SHED!

  19. Episode 295: No Scripts

    This week, Eddie is dissatisfied with modern cinema, and VERY satisfied with modern Prem rugby. SHED!

  20. Episode 294: Playoff Preview Pod

    This week, Eddie has had tummy trouble. Playoffs! England squad! Shed!

  29. Episode 285: I Don't Know How, But It's Rugby

    This week, Eddie dealt with a gyrating f@*got in Denver, and tries, but ultimately fails, to make some rugby analogies. Has King Shidas turned his pod into a festering pile of shite this week, OR could those nuggets be gold?! I think that's pretty obvious... SHED!

  35. Episode 279: No Saving The Wales

  43. Episode 270: I'll See YouTube in Hell!

    This week, Eddie embraces technology and wastes a lot of time. The Champions Cup is back, and it's hard to watch! Especially if you're using Flosports (spit!)! SHED!

  44. Episode 269: I Like Will Butt, & I Cannot Lie

    This week, Eddie is tired (again), and he talks about rugby (again). SHED!

  45. Episode 268: What a C*NT...epomi!

  48. Episode 265: Not a Bender

    This week, Eddie is ill and sounds like he's been up to no good, but he's really just a poor little sick boy with a very sore throat. Will that shut him up? HAHAHAHHAAAAAA!
