(L-R) Simon Best, 'RugbyTackled' host Andy Park and Sheldon Coulter

 

Welcome to our first Rugby Podcast – ‘Rugby Tackled’ – hosted by Andy Park, former Ulster winger and member of the famous 1999 European Cup winning team.

Each podcast, surveys all developments in provincial, national and international rugby with in-depth opinion and analysis from key individuals on and off the field.

This week Andy is joined in the studio by fellow European Cup winner Sheldon Coulter and former Ulster captain and Irish international Simon Best.
