Rugby legend Sam Burgess joins Phil Tufnell, Sir Alastair Cook, David Lloyd and Michael Vaughan on Stick to Cricket for a powerful, wide-ranging episode full of thrilling stories and laughs – brought to you by Betfair!

Sam discusses winning the NRL Grand Final with a broken jaw, pulling off prank calls with Russell Crowe and the personal battles he faced after losing his dad at a young age.

He also reflects on his controversial move to rugby union, why it didn’t work out, and what he learned from stepping outside of league.

Now head coach of the Warrington Wolves, Sam talks leadership, culture and what it's like to go from the dressing room to the coaches’ box. We also get into his genuine love for cricket, his childhood heroes, and whether he ever fancied picking up a bat instead of the ball!
