Episode 134 - Ashton's Out, Cipriani's In & Folau...Really?

Welcome to the England Rugby Pod, the rugby podcast that believes England will win the World Cup in 2019.

Andy and Dan are two mates with a passion for rugby. No professional experience, no media experience just a shared love of the game and pride in the English rose. Hear their thoughts on team selections, performances, results and join them as they follow England on their march to (hopefully) glory at the 2019 Rugby World Cup in Japan.

Unique player profiles will give you a little extra insight into the players that make up the England squad, their 'Lions Watch' will share the high's and low's of the 2017 Lions Tour to New Zealand but their ultimate goal is to find out what makes the worlds next number one team tick.
