S3 Ep7: How do you solve a problem like Twickenham?

The Good, The Bad & The Rugby

11/09/22 • 93 min

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.

Payno, Hask & Tins are joined by England speedster Jonny May and Wales legend Jon "Fox" Davies to debrief on an Autumn to forget for both nations.

Plus, we dive into the bombshell news of a proposed breakaway league that could shake the sport to its core, with the world’s top 200 players reportedly being tempted away from their clubs. What could this mean for rugby as we know it?

The Good, The Bad & The Rugby

08/08/23 • 70 min

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 🛳️
