About this listen

 England's most capped men love rugby. Ben Youngs is a scrum-half so he’s spent most of his 127 games chatting away to team-mates, opposition and referees. His mate Dan Cole 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. They'll bring you their ultimate guide to rugby's biggest games, give you a behind the scenes tour of Twickenham, and tell you what really happens inside an England camp. They’ll also have guests, and they will be some of the biggest names in rugby.Crowd Network Rugby

If your every stuck in traffic on the M1 or even if your not - just a great all round rugby pod

Great insight but with humour

Literally laughing to myself whilst driving to work. Asokute blast. The lads make it feel like you're sat in a pub with them having a yarn over a pint. Will definitely listen regularly. Hear about it from Joe Marler's podcast and I'll be bouncing between the two.

Not sure if you check reviews on Audible, but if so lads, my two kids and I would love some garage England merch 😅. They love going to see Sale Sharks (don't hold that against us, we're Northern!). 😉 I'll be in touch on Instagram 😁

Laugh out loud fun!

This is my absolute favourite podcast. Laid back and relaxing to listen to. Ben and Dan give a great insight into the professional rugby world, giving us a new perspective on things that we wouldn't normally see from the outside. Not only that, but the stories are hilarious and I often find myself re-listening to episodes to hear them again. I would highly recommend this podcast to all rugby fans, and any people trying to get into rugby too!
