Bel Tel Rugby

For fans who live and breathe the game, Bel Tel Rugby offers a direct line into the heart of the sport. Produced by the Belfast Telegraph Sport team, this weekly podcast goes beyond the headlines and final scores to deliver thoughtful, grounded conversations about the teams and players shaping the season. Each episode features informed analysis and the kind of insight that comes from years of pitch-side experience, focusing squarely on the fortunes of Ulster and the Irish national side. You’ll hear from a rotating cast of special guests-think former players, coaches, and seasoned journalists-who break down tactics, form, and the key moments that decided the weekend’s biggest matches. It’s less a formal broadcast and more like pulling up a chair in a knowledgeable rugby circle, where the discussion is as passionate as it is informed. Tuning into this podcast means getting a deeper understanding of the strategies at play, the emerging talent to watch, and the stories unfolding both on and off the field. Whether it’s the buildup to a crucial interprovincial clash or dissecting Ireland’s latest international campaign, the conversation here is always rooted in expertise and a genuine love for the game.
