Ben Earl and the Champions Cup Review
Alex, Tins and Jonny May are joined for a Bank Holiday episode by the Saracens and England flanker Ben Earl.
The foursome talk golf, snooker, recovery, Lions ambitions, England under Eddie Jones, personal development, Zak Crawley, and how being around the alphas at Sarries helped Ben grow as a player and a person.
They also dig into a fascinating Champions Cup Final, with Tins and Jonny getting into the weeds on where the game was won and lost; reflect on Gloucester's defeat to Sale in the Challenge Cup Final; and look ahead to a fascinating pair of Playoff Semi-Finals this weekend between Northampton and Saracens on Friday night, and Bath and Sale on Saturday afternoon.

LIV Rugby - Coming Soon?
On this week’s show we are joined by Mark Foster, a former Gloucester and Exeter Chiefs winger. He is now Senior Vice President of Finance at LIV Golf - the tournament backed by one of the biggest sovereign wealth funds in the world.
Golf is one of many sports that has seen significant investment from Saudi Arabia. Rugby is yet to have a big bite of the cherry but it feels like it may be a case of ‘when, not if’ this happens.
So where is rugby in the queue? How desperately does it need a big cheque from somewhere? What could it look like? What are the implications?

Customer Reviews
Highest quality rugby podcast, a joy to listen to
Insightful, entertaining & intelligent (whatever that last one sounds like).
Loved the Shane Horgan & Will Greenwood take on IRL/ENG & would even go so far as to say the intelligent comment also applies to Will - he must have studied hard since the back of the bus on Lions tours (listen to the episode & you’ll know what I’m talking about).
Steve Martin from before Xmas is also great listen.
This pod has some big big lows
The interview with Borthwick was shocking, dull and worrying.
England/Ireland Preview
Greenwood/Horgan views significantly above the usual rugby coverage, which whilst fun can be a little lacking. Why is Greenwood not more involved in the media, he is interesting, insightful, amusing even….
