Who doesn't love rugby?
No man has played for England more than Ben Youngs. He’s also a scrum-half so he’s spent most of his 127 games chatting away to team-mates, opposition and referees. His mate Dan Cole also has over 100 caps, is still in the England squad, and has cult hero status thanks to his no-nonsense approach to most of life’s events.
They’ve spent 20 years together at Leicester Tigers, toured together for the British and Irish Lions, and now podcast together every week. Throughout the Six Nations they’ll bring their ultimate guide to the championship, give you a behind the scenes tour of Twickenham, and tell you what really happens inside an England camp.
They’ll occasionally have guests, and special correspondent Joe Marler will be on speed dial for whenever they need him.

Customer Reviews
Brilliant guys 🍻
A great mix of humour, rugby and traffic on the M1.
Entertaining
Really entertaining pod cast. Never fails to make you laugh out loud, don’t change anything
Great pod!
I’m from a rugby family but I only really follow international rugby.. This pod is worth a listen even if you’re not a hard core fan. Ben will go into detail you don’t understand and Dan will tell you about his traffic stories but all round 👌🏻👌🏻 you will enjoy their back and forth! Highly recommend
