Just the three in the studio and it is a veritable topic tombola as the boys discuss a mini-injury crisis for Eddie Jones’ England ahead of the Autumn Nations Series games and if Ellis Genge could be England’s next captain. They chat about training methods and if players do too much pre-game - of course Hask says they do. We get the latest from the Women’s World Cup with Red Roses’ Bryony Cleall and look ahead to Scotland vs Australia, asking why Finn Russell has been dropped from the squad. Hask reveals an amazing Chris Robshaw story after the former England captain announced his retirement and we delve into the murky life of a lower level Championship rugby player in our new feature, Bin Juice.

S3 Ep4: The Wigan Wizard Oct 18, 2022

Show notes

The boys have their say on Wasps going into administration and England’s squad for the Autumn Nations Series games. They are also joined by an absolute bonafide legend in both rugby codes - Shaun Edwards. He’s amassed 54 medals in his glittering career as well as 36 caps for Great Britain and another 3 for England, he’s a Man-of-Steel winner and captained Wigan in the crushing of Bath in the Cross Codes Clash. As a head coach he’s won the Premiership and Heineken Cup with Wasps, as the best defensive coach around he’s been on a Lions tour and won 5 Six Nations titles including 4 Grand Slams. We hear about the game that haunts Shaun the most, if he'd ever like to coach England one day, his karaoke skills and about the time he once used Hask’s head as an actual punch bag!

S3 Ep1: We’re back! New Faces, Same Shambles Sep 27, 2022

Show notes

Season three kicks off at Tindall Towers, joined by the newest member of the Haskell family, three-week old Bodhi, and some other exciting new additions. New signing, Jonathan ‘Fox’ Davies and seasoned veteran Ben Kayser join the boys for the season opener in what’s been a busy summer of GBR recruitment, with two other new faces on the roster. (Don’t worry, the Baby Rhino’s re-signed, too.) Twelve months out from RWC 2023 the international rugby landscape is top of the agenda. But we also look in detail at matters closer to home following some of the big news and bad business that has beset domestic rugby in England in the off season. A note. We planned to put this launch episode out a couple of weeks ago, but following the passing of Her Majesty The Queen, we decided to postpone, so we’re not quite as up-to-do date as we usually would be. Bernard Foley can breathe a sigh of relief. Normal service resumes next week.
