2 Lads 1 Ruck

This week I discuss the Gallagher Premiership semi-finals and give my predictions on who will reach the 2026 Premiership Final.

I also chat about the upcoming Nations Championship tour on 11th July, Steve Borthwick's likely England squad for the summer series, and what would be considered a successful outcome for England after a disappointing 2026 so far.

I'm also looking to get a custom neon sign made featuring the podcast logo for the studio. If you'd like to support the podcast and contribute towards it, I'd really appreciate it. Get in touch or check the links below.

This one’s a mix of real talk and good vibes — whether you’re here for the laughs or something a bit more relatable, there’s something in it for you.

👇 Topics we cover:

• Loneliness & opening up
• Mental health in everyday life
• Leo’s youth rugby experience 🏉
• Life lessons from sport
• Random (and questionable) stories

This one got emotional…

G was holding back the tears as his brother & best mate opened up about retirement.

Behind the scenes, G never said it at the time… but with all the injuries this season, watching Benny play felt like he was playing for the both of them.

G only managed 6 games this season, but nothing but pride watching his boy do his thing “I’m going to miss not seeing you down the club… feels like I’ve lost my partner in crime.

I couldn’t get all of this out on the pod, otherwise I’d have been gone.

This wasn’t about me; it was about you. It’s been a blessing watching you this season — enjoy retirement…(but you can always pull a Tyson Fury and come back )

”PS… Love you brother

We also have to talk about the Oxfordshire cup, and the Cup and shield final.

Announcement of our first guest has been made.
