The Good, The Bad & The Rugby The Lock-In

Payno, Tins, and Jonny May team up with Tom Wood. Who was the worst captain they each played under? Also, Jonny tells us how his contract talks are going with clubs vying for his signature.

On this week’s show Alex, Tins and Jonny May are joined by Tom Wood who captained Northampton to Premiership glory 10 years ago. 

We preview highly anticipated final between Saints and Bath, which is completely sold out. As we bid farewell to Courtney Lawes from English rugby this weekend, our lads also take a moment to honour the incredible contributions of Owen Farrell, Manu Tuilagi, and the Vunipola brothers. 

All that, plus... Mike takes the Continental Tyres Quiz: Who started in the Bath backline on the day they last won the title 26 years ago?

Hask, Tins, and Payno step up to the challenge and tackle a series of rugby questions from our studio audience. Hask spills the beans on the alleged off-field shenanigans that took place at Stade Francais under flamboyant owner, Max Guazzini.

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.

The news that Tins has been voted as the 29th sexiest man in the UK on IllicitEncounters leaves Hask in shock.

Alex, Tins and Will Greenwood are together to discuss the Investec Champions Cup Final between Toulouse and Leinster - but why has Will got his guns out? 

They discuss where the game will be won and lost, who has a bigger point to prove and which team is like a Ferrari. 

The guys also speak to Jonny May ahead of his final game for Gloucester in the Challenge Cup Final and find time to chat about mohawks and whether a stretching area has been named after him yet at Kingsholm. They also give their verdict on the final round of the Premiership regular season.
