We don't like to big ourselves up, too much, but we believe you'd be hard pressed to find a more in-depth look ahead to the weekend, as we hear from a number of figures across the worlds of rugby, football, cycling and horse racing. 

This week, Daniel Freeman and Kevin Hatchard look ahead to the Rugby World Cup which kicks off in all its glory in New Zealand, whilst the Premier League makes a welcome return after the international break. In horse racing we look ahead to both the English and Irish St Leger taking place on Saturday and we preview the Tour of Britain, the UK’s biggest cycling event which kicks off on Sunday.

Please feel free to subscribe, retweet or like us on Facebook - help spread the word, we’ll really appreciate it. We're extremely excited at the launch of this service, and hope that you'll enjoy our various ramblings as much as we enjoyed making them.
