Eddie Jones Returns

Wed, 11 Nov 2026
Itโ€™s England v Japan, so who better to join us than our old friend Eddie Jones? Alongside Jonny May, who has finally made it over for a show on time. Eddie looks back on his seven years with England, including the 2019 World Cup final and what heโ€™d do differently now. They discuss how Eddie handled the English media, why South Africa and France sit at the top of the game, and how to prepare for Henry Pollock on the wing. Plus a North Korean embassy letter, a crate of Guinness, and a public apology to Neil Hatley.

England v Australia: One GOAT, One Wallaby, One Old Enemy

Wed, 04 Nov 2026
Itโ€™s England v Australia week and weโ€™ve got Wallabies legends George Gregan and Tom Wright in studio to delve into this historical heated rivalry ahead of the Nations Championship.

George, the second most capped Wallaby of all time, and Tom, a leader in Les Kissโ€™s squad talk about Tomโ€™s path from rugby league at Manly to the Brumbies, what the Wallabies learned from the Lions series and the Bledisloe, and how to win the big moments in the modern game. They also size up Englandโ€™s chances, look back on their favourite England v Australia clashes, and take us inside the changing room before a Test.

Arise Sir Kev

Wed, 28 Oct 2026
Payno and Mike Brown are at Pennyhill Park to meet one of rugbyโ€™s most gallant crusaders, Sir Kev Sinfield. We talk about the extraordinary journey that has seen him raise more than ยฃ13 million for the fight against MND.



From his promise to Rob Burrow, to running more than 1,000 miles across the UK, seven ultras in seven days and being knighted for his services to rugby and the MND community, Sir Kev explains what keeps him going and why he says heโ€™ll be doing this for as long as it takes to find a cure.



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



Plus, England coaches Lee Blackett and Richard Wigglesworth join Payno and Mike to discuss their coaching philosophy, the quality of this England squad and their plans to face Australia and the All Blacks this Autumn.
