  1. Rebuilding Welsh Rugby

    Rebuilding Welsh Rugby

    The Autumn Internationals are around the corner but Welsh Rugby is due for major surgery… which region will the Welsh Rugby Union cut by the end of the 2027/28 season? Payno, Hask and Tins are joined by the man at the heart of the Cymru Crisis: Dave Reddin, current Director of Rugby & Elite Performance at the WRU. Having worked alongside icons such as Sir Clive Woodward and Sir Gareth Southgate, Dave is a turnaround specialist renowned for creating elite winning cultures. The lads dissect Dave’s masterplan for reinvigorating Welsh rugby.

  2. The England Fly-Half Debate

    21 OCT

    The England Fly-Half Debate

    The first major peak of the season is nearly here with the Autumn Nations Series, and the new England squad announcement has delivered two massive headlines: the departure of Tom Willis to France, and the inclusion of teenage try-scoring sensation Noah Caluorie. But the real debate is at fly-half. From Andrew & Barnes, Wilkinson and his challengers, Farrell to Ford, the England number ten jersey has always been a national talking point. Now, with George Ford, Fin Smith, and Marcus Smith all vying for the starting spot, who will Steve Borthwick hand the keys to ahead of the next World Cup cycle? Joining Payno this week are two men who know the pressure cooker of fly-half selection better than anyone: former England 10s and World Cup stars Charlie Hodgson (38 caps, Premiership's all-time top scorer) and Toby Flood (60 caps, 2011 Six Nations winner).
