Alex and Hask are joined by England’s most capped scrum-half of all-time, Mr Ben Youngs, to discuss England, Lions, Leicester and Eddie Jones’ trainer collection.
Denied his 100th cap when England’s trip to Rome was postponed in March, Ben and Hask look ahead to rugby’s return, discuss how to to deal with less than friendly correspondence from fans and recall their first meeting with Eddie Jones.
And Ben tells the incredible story of how he missed the Lions tour in 2017 to be with his brother Tom and his wife Tiffany as she made a miraculous recovery after being told her cancer was terminal.
