S4 Ep1: England's World Cup 33 & the Return of the Rhino Bambino Aug 08, 2023

Show notes

We’re back with a bang for Season Four; a day out at Twickenham for Steve Borthwick’s Rugby World Cup Squad announcement. Our Ellis joins Payno & Tins for an overdue catch up. He tells them how Steve broke the news to everyone, lays down some big hopes for the legacy of his side and asks the nation to believe in the boys in white. England’s opening game against Argentina is only a month away, so The Telegraph’s Charlie Morgan pops by to give some insight into the starting 15 Borthwick might pick to face them. Charlie also runs through the runners and riders for the dance in France, at a time when it still feels like it’s anyone’s game.

S3 Ep35: Sun, sea, sand and lots of rosé - Ibiza baby! May 16, 2023

Show notes

🛳️ Join us on the GBR Cruise: http://infinitysportstravel.com/gbr 🛳️ The boys are on tour, well sort of! Tins, Hask and Payno are let loose atop the Me Hotel in Ibiza… stunning views, beautiful sun and free-flowing rosé - what could go wrong? Well a lot actually, with Hask going out of his way to insult 11 different people in rugby (that’s our count anyway) which includes a diabolical Lawrence Dallaglio impression. Tins teases with some Coronation tales and we get a reappearance of “Japan Alex” as he tries to get the other two to join in with his “10 ways to make rugby better”. Amongst all that the guys also talk European and Premiership Rugby finals.

S3 Ep34: The Fantastic Mr Fox May 09, 2023

Show notes

Payno and Hask are joined by Jason 'Foxy' Fox to talk about joining the Marines as a 16-year old and then into the special forces, his struggles after his honourable discharge and how he got to be everyone's favourite instructor on SAS: Who Dares Wins. Foxy tells of Ben Foden impressing in the UK version of the show and of Sam Burgess's amazing escape in the Australian version. We also hear an incredible story of Foxy meeting the Cartel and the Mexican marines - none of us barely took a breath! Oh, and if that wasn't enough we find out the only celebrity that thankfully made Hask speechless! This episode does touch on some personal subjects, notably when Jason contemplated taking his own life.

S3 Ep33: Rugby from a War Zone May 02, 2023

Show notes

Payno and Hask are joined by the current Ukrainian national team’s team manager Maksym Kravchenko and their scrum-half Vadym Sivak who are both in Ukraine and fly-half Anton Shashero who’s in Georgia to talk about their experiences since Russia invaded in February 2022. Makysm and Vadym recall what life was like when those first sirens sounded and Anton tells of his anguish of watching it all from afar. They talk about their recent games in the 3rd tier of European rugby and, not just their hopes for the sport in the country and on the international stage, but also Ukraine’s continuing fight for freedom. Amongst all of that Hask also makes one of the greatest faux pas of all time - of course he does!
