    Lewis Moody: "I never wanted to leave Leicester - it was my club"

    Leon turns the tables on Lewis as he grills his former team mate and 'Mad Dog'on his own life and career in Rugby.    Lewis joined the Leicester Tigers in in 1996 and at just 18 became the youngest player to play a league game. His career went from strength to strength and he left the sport with a host of accolades to his name and an MBE to boot.    In this candid conversation he chats to Leon about those eventful early years where he struggled to balance University life with Rugby, his passion for Leicester and reveals the devastation he felt when his contract was terminated in 2010 after 14 years - something he still finds difficult to deal with to this day.    They talk about the moment Martin Johnson asked him to be captain of the England team, while stood in his back garden. The numerous severe injuries that plagued his career and caused him to miss the 2007 Six Nations Championship, and his silent battle with Ulcerative Colitis; which he hid from doctors, coaches, teammates and friends.    Well known for his all or nothing style on the field, this approach has not come without some trouble attached, and Lewis is open and honest about that infamous red card he received in 2005 after being the first England player to be sent off at Twickenham for fighting with fellow Leicester teammate Alex Tuilagi.      Lewis Moody Foundation: thelewismoodyfoundation.org Leon Lloyd and Switch The Play: switchtheplay.com   Music is City Drive by DMJ-Music: audiojungle.net/user/dmj-music

    David Richmond CBE: "After trauma it's the human relationships that heal you..."

    Leon and Lewis jump on the phone to recap after England’s defeat in the World Cup final at the weekend and share their thoughts on what might have gone wrong for the team. They also discuss the hot topic of why the England players were within their right to remove their runners-up medals in the aftermath of the game and their hopes that the England team can see all that they have achieved once the dust has settled.    This week’s interview is with Colonel David Richmond CBE, 5th Battalion The Royal Regiment of Scotland, who is the highest ranked officer to have been shot at and seriously wounded in 2008 during the Afghanistan conflict.    He underwent four years of reconstruction surgery and rehabilitation and was medically discharged from the Armed Forces in April 2012. During this time he began working for Help for Heroes and went on to become their Recovery Director, helping thousands upon thousands of injured and sick servicemen, veterans and families.   In this candid conversation, David talks us through the moment he was struck in battle, the physical and mental challenges he faced and the dramatic changes he had to adapt to in both his personal and professional life.    A lifelong rugby fan - and Bath supporter - David explains how close the links between military and athletic mindsets are and how his experience has helped him with his work at Switch The Play, helping athletes transition out of sport.

    Mark "Ronnie" Regan: "I came across as a bit of a clown but people didn't really know why..."

    After England head towards the 2019  World Cup final they have the chance to win it for the first time since 2003 when they face South Africa in Yokahoma. Lewis is joined by Mark “Ronnie” Regan who was also part of the winning team that brought England victory 16 years ago to bring their insight and experience on how the weekend’s game will go down and deliver some home truths about his own life and playing career.  The former British Lions, England and Barbarians hooker could be considered one the most misunderstood players of his generation as he reveals that he has been profoundly deaf since childhood. His coping mechanism was to “clown around” in order to prevent people discovering his secret and admits that it had some impact on his relationships with players both on and off the field. In this episode, Ronnie talks us through what he considers the triumphs and tragedies of his career. His tricky relationships with coaches such as Michael Foley and Clive Underwood, falling out with Robbo and the personal struggles he has battled with since retiring over ten years ago. Meanwhile Leon catches up with former Wasps and England Flanker, Joe Worsely in Japan to hear about his World Cup memories.  Find Mark on Twitter @MarkRegan  Thanks to Beer52 and Harry’s for sponsoring this episode.
