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.

The FTLOR Draft: Don’t question the snake!
Ellis Genge and Anthony Watson join Ben Youngs and Dan Cole for an NFL-style draft. Every international rugby player (from the last 12 months) is available for selection as Dan tries to take charge of proceedings. He has a lot of rules, a stats book and a plant pot for a bell. It’s just like the NFL.

What is Marler doing?
Have you heard of Things People Do? It’s the sensational podcast by Joe Marler and Tom Fordyce, which Dan and Ben are big fans of.
In this episode, you’ll hear Joe meet his favourite ever guest. Josh is a modern day Dick Van Dyke, but way better. He tells us all about being a chimney sweep, including finding skeletons in the houses of parliament, being invited to random weddings because chimney sweeps are good luck, and a phenomenal story about the time he found some 'romantic' letters up a chimney, from a wife who was having an affair. This episode really has everything.

Customer Reviews
Quickly become my preferred rugby pod
This pod is very fresh and insightful. They talk about the things that fans really want to know about. What goes on inside the changing room and behind the curtain. Dan Cole is so dry and funny - sometimes intentionally, others unintentionally. Ben Youngs is like a mischievous school boy but his technical breakdown analysis of plays is actually masterful.
Really?
Have to say the recent episode of this podcast that was just an entirely different podcast was… jarring to say the least. I understand it’s the same company creating both but come on. Really? I want THIS podcast in my feed, if I wanted marler’s podcast I’d have followed that show… not this one.
Best podcast
Mega podcast nice to know some more about the sport and the behind the scenes from a different sport. Easy to listen to and always makes you laugh
