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.

Did Coley score from 50 yards? And who finishes top four?
Try-scoring hero Dan Cole counts down the top 10 tries of his career so far, but was one of them really from 50 yards out? At the end of the longest season, Ben Youngs recalls his pre-season sessions that took place nearly a year ago, there’s a discussion about how Gloucester players will be feeling this week after losing by 90 points, and the revelation that Dan’s children would rather go camping than do a lap of the pitch after his final home game of the campaign.

Customer Reviews
Deny Deny and Re-Accuse
Life as a fan of the club formerly known as “wasps” has been somewhat of a torrid time in recent memory.
With the dissolution of my boyhood club I felt destined for a rugby-life comprising only of Super Rugby and Top 14 information… and then; like a Phoenix rising from the ashes; like Gimli and Legolas at Helms Deep; Coley and Len have come through heavy with the prem-rug-pod-plug. Like prime Walter-White x Jesse Pinkman these two have made the rugby-podcast equivalent of blue-meth.
If you enjoy good craic and insight from some of England’s most venerable and esteemed players - get listening
Tigers’ problems
I think I’ve discovered the problem this season……extract from Tigers News 8th May "We can't change Bristol, or this season, but we can put in two eight-minute performances in these next two games that we can be proud of. "
We do need a tad longer than that Dan………

Ps love the pod!
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
