  • Two Lions on the pod: Fin Smith staying at Saints & Tommy Freeman’s positional switch.

    Two Lions on the pod: Fin Smith staying at Saints & Tommy Freeman’s positional switch.
    2025/10/09

    Ahead of 'Derby Weekend' in the Gallagher PREM, Will Kelleher heads to the midlands to chat to Northampton Saints. He speaks with Director of Rugby Phil Dowson, plus two of the clubs British & Irish Lions in Fin Smith and Tommy Freeman.


    Fin explains that wanting to earn more caps for England was a big motivation for signing a contract extension, despite the lure of R360. And find out why he was disappointed with his performances on the Lions tour.


    Tommy Freeman brings up his 100th Saints appearance on the weekend so he reflects on the journey to this point and discusses what the future might hold. Will he be a 13 going forward?


    Plus, Phil Dowson looks ahead to a big East Midlands derby against Leicester Tigers!

  • Lewis Moody's heart-breaking MND diagnosis - what is sport's connection to the disease?

    Lewis Moody's heart-breaking MND diagnosis - what is sport's connection to the disease?
    2025/10/06

    2003 World Cup winner Lewis Moody has announced that he has motor neurone disease, so, Alex Lowe and Stuart Barnes join Alfie Reynolds to pay tribute to a great man and brilliant player. Tom Kershaw also discusses his investigation for The Times earlier in the year where he looked into the links between elite sportspeople and MND.


    They also look back on the second weekend of the PREM and ask whether Newcastle were correct to part ways with Steve Diamond and if it's too early to view Bath and Saracens as the best two clubs in the division. It was the opening weekend for the CHAMP which saw the return of Worcester Warriors, their back-rower Matt Kvesic chats to Alfie and Alex.


    And, Stuart explains why 2025 was the best Rugby Championship we've ever seen.

  • The Champ, The Prem, and the future of English club rugby

    The Champ, The Prem, and the future of English club rugby
    2025/09/30

    Promotion and relegation, franchising and the rugby pyramid; these are all issues that are so fundamental to the state of English rugby, and things so few people agree on.


    So, to tackle these meaty topics Will and Alex go to Twickenham to meet Simon Gillham, the chair of the new Tier 2 board, and vice-president of French Pro D2 side Brive.


    Can the Champ, which relaunches this weekend, and the Prem finally get on, coexist and thrive together?


    How could promotion to the top flight work? Will London Irish return like Worcester Warriors have?


    And Will there be an end to "self-interest" on all sides? We discuss it all, and rattle through the news from the opening round of the Prem, plus the finale of The Rugby Championship.
