Pull up a bit of the couch: it's the East Midlands Derby at Welford Road, Leicester vs. Northampton, it's pissing rain, and Henry Pollock is starting (and not starting) some shit in the tunnel. Jones is pretty sure he learned it from Tocco.Jonesy breaks down why a tight head in the better position keeps getting penalized, swears scrums were safer when they were worse, and opens Scrum School to teach the dark art of Scrumaganda. Tocco sips Malört on purpose, Jones compares it to licking black tar heroin, and we finally find out how Cowboy got his name (Rochester PD, a cowboy hat, boots and nothing else). There's a man in a flat cap, a 320 lb mullet straight out of Molly Hatchet, a fight over whether it's autumn, and somewhere in there we decide the show needs to be unlearnable.Confidently incorrect, cold beer in hand and good people to argue with. It's rugby the way you've always loved it. Welcome to the Wrong Side of the Ruck. We think you'll like it here.Follow us on IG @WrongSideoftheRuck
