It's finally here -  after 150 Episodes we've managed to get on one of our greatest ever guests in the man, myth and legend - Mathieu Bastareaud! He does not hold back on any controversial tales, opening up on an epic career which saw him become a triple european champion and a global sporting icon, but mixed in with a fair bit of controversy. For being dropped for partying too hard, using his local police force as a taxi service, being forced to shower in front of his owner as an 18 year old, causing an international dispute between New Zealand and France when he lied about being attacked, his parents being abused and much more- Basta finally opens up about a career as one of France's most high profile sportsman.

We're honoured to be joined by a legend of the game in Stephen Donaldson, a man who famously kicked the winning points in the 2011 World Cup Final, having been called up to the squad a few days prior. Beaver had been dropped by the All Blacks for the World Cup and so decided to go on a 3 months long piss up and fishing trip across NZ, where he put on a lot of weight and decided to turn his back on watching or following the World Cup. But one evening he returned from the river, drunk as always, and found a missed call from the NZ manager, they'd lost both Dan Carter and the other 2 reserve fly halfs to injury and he was being called into the WC squad for the final. He ends up kicking the winning points in that final and off the back of it has had a feature length movie made about his life 'The Kick', got countless huge sponsorship deals, his own radio show, tv documentaries and the rest. This is his incredible story.

Today we're joined by a World Cup winner, a Sprinbok legend, a test centurion and the highest scoring centre in the history of the sport in Jean De Villiers. He lifts the lid on his incredible career; from his school days facing a horrific illegal initiation for his cricket team, the highs of winning the World Cup in 2007, partying with Nelson Mandela, the lows of losing to Japan in 2015 and getting abused constantly in the butchers, his thoughts on why England are so shit and SA so good and his best Clapham memories. We also hear about an incredibly loose celebration in 2004 for the Tri Nations, an accidental break in to his neighbours house in Ireland after an all nighter, his shocking injury problems, life after rugby and most importantly why he absolutely despises Archie!!
