Summary

Danny Care from the Rugby Union Weekly Podcast, Alex Hartley from No Balls: The Cricket Podcast, Rickie Haywood- Williams from the Footballers Football Podcast and Steve Bunce from the 5 Live boxing podcast go head-to-head in a special battle of the pods episode with Rick Edwards. Points are awarded for informed comment, wit and passion, but taken away for nonsense and answers lacking in conviction.

In the final round, the top two points scorers go head-to-head in 'Defend the Indefensible' where they must both defend a statement however ludicrous or distasteful for twenty seconds. There can only be one winner!
