We’re into week two of the European season but it’s stories off the pitch which dominate the headlines rather than the action on it.
Joining Brian in studio to discuss the weekend’s action is former England centre Tom May.
The pair review the European Champions Cup games that were able to go ahead but they discuss whether or not the competition could be in jeopardy after four games were forfeited due to Covid 19.
Domestically, the big news has been that BT Sport and Premiership Rugby have agreed a three year renewal of their existing deal. The broadcaster had been close to withdrawing their bid but eventually agreed to renew a contract which is worth less than the current one, the Telegraph’s Chief Rugby Correspondent Gavin Mairs has been covering the story for us and fills us in on the details and what the trickle down effect will be for Premiership clubs.
England’s women will be without one of their most decorated players for next years World Cup in New Zealand. Katy Daley McLean, who lifted the trophy as captain in 2014, has announced her surprise retirement just nine months out from the tournament and joins the show to explain why and what is next for her both personally and professionally.
Plus we discuss the ongoing dementia issue with former pros, assess Danny Cipriani’s legacy in England after he left Gloucester, and we look at some of the amazing work done by volunteers at grassroots level in what’s been a turbulent year on and off the pitch.
