    Payno and Mike Brown are at Pennyhill Park to meet one of rugby’s most gallant crusaders, Sir Kev Sinfield. We talk about the extraordinary journey that has seen him raise more than £13 million for the fight against MND. Lees meer

    He also reflects on seeing Prince William and Princess Catherine at the finish line, his brilliant team of volunteers, his son Jack’s emotional Grand Final win, and plans to keep running abroad.

  8. Season Finale: Courtney Lawes on England's Wild Year

    Afspelen
    It's the last show of the season, and what better way to sign off than with a brand new member of Team GBR joining the panel, Courtney Lawes sits down with Tins to break down a chaotic, controversial final weekend of Nations Championship rugby. Lees meer

    England scrape past Argentina in one of the most chaotic games we've seen in years, four yellow cards and all. Courtney gives his verdict on whether England were simply "too aggy" against a scrappy Pumas side.

    We also round up the rest of the weekend: New Zealand's impressive win over Ireland, Scotland's near-miss against Fiji, and a dominant Springboks side that Courtney says are "operating like a religion" under Rassie Erasmus.

    It's been a mammoth season of GBR — thank you to every single one of you for watching and listening. See you next season!

  12. Altitude Sickness: Can England Find a Cure?

    6 juli 2026 · 52 min

    Afspelen
    South Africa reminded everyone exactly why they're world champions, brushing England aside 45-21 at altitude in Johannesburg to open the new Nations Championship. Payno, Hask and Tins dig into where it really went wrong for England, not the early 17-0 hole (they clawed back to within three at half-time), but the, two costly yellow cards, and defensive system the boys argue isn't getting the best out of these players. It sparks a proper debate about whether Shaun Edwards is the "elephant in the room" England can't keep ignoring. The lads give their early thoughts on the tournament itself. Plus Wales' back-to-back wins, Dave Rennie's winning start with the All Blacks, Ireland's fightback in Australia. Lees meer
