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.

    Why are scrum-halves paid less?

    Why are scrum-halves paid less?

    Won’t somebody think of the hookers! Ben Youngs and Dan Cole have uncovered an injustice as Premiership hookers really aren’t paid enough. They analyse Premiership Rugby’s salary cap report, imagine Mike Brown’s presentation on rugby values, ask how tall a back row needs to be and answer more of your best questions. Plus Ben is dressed up, but not for Dan’s birthday.

    Toulouse, Leinster and Toby the Tortoise | Champions Cup semi-finals

    Leinster and Toulouse set up a dream Champions Cup final as Northampton and Harlequins both regret their first half performances on semi-final weekend. Ben Youngs and Dan Cole watched all the action for you, and had time to cut the grass and play bank holiday mini-golf. Plus Ben introduces us to Toby, his pet tortoise, who definitely isn’t massive, and might not even be called Toby for much longer.
