The Good, The Bad & The Rugby

With Tinds hosting spiders on his head in the Jungle, Payno and Hask are joined by Scarlets and Wales legend Jonathan ‘Foxy’ Davies to break down an intriguing weekend in the Autumn Nations Series. The trio discuss the defeats for Wales and England and ask; why is Twickenham so quiet on match days? Hask comes up with a foolproof plan to improve the atmosphere on game day at HQ, so of course it involves him DJing and taking centre stage! We also get the latest from the Women’s World Cup in Aotearoa as the Red Roses make it to the final to face the Black Ferns, who dramatically scraped past the heartbroken French. There’s the return of Bin Juice and the boys make their predictions for this weekend, with Payno making some particularly rogue selections.

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. Season 4 of GBR is in partnership with Continental Tyres. 🎟️ TOUR TICKETS: https://bit.ly/GBRTourTickets 🎟️ 🛳️ Join us on the GBR Cruise: http://infinitysportstravel.com/gbr 🛳️

The Rugby World Cup is underway, so Tins managed to get us a meeting with the Patrons of the WRU, RFU & SRU at Windsor Castle. Hask & Alex can't believe their luck at being invited along to have tea with Tins' mother-in-law + The Prince & Princess of Wales.

Alex, James and Mike put the rugby world to rights as they discuss superstars, Saracens, semi-finals, and locked out spectators. And then ahead of publication of his autobiography, James reveals for the first time what really happened with Martin Johnson and Stuart Lancaster at consecutive World Cups, the nightmare of the New Zealand maid, the infamous Altitude Nightclub incident and how he almost killed Rory Best. "I'll save that for the book" just became a reality.

Alex and James are joined by the former England and Northampton captain Dylan Hartley for a fascinating discussion on leadership, pain, coffees with Eddie Jones, the pressures of captaincy, and what happens when your face and voice don't fit. And the boys discover why Hask is atop a kill list.
