On this week's episode, James and Will are joined by Western Force owner Andrew 'Twiggy' Forrest. Recently featured in Rugby World magazine's top 50 movers & shakers article, the mining magnate discusses the Force's re-introduction to Super Rugby, his dealings with Rugby Australia and what the future may look like for rugby globally. James and Will also react to Manu Tuilagi joining Sale Sharks, Wales playing their home matches at Twickenham and rugby reaching Hawaii.

An inspired and supremely physical South Africa levelled the 2021 series last week, so who better to join Will than a Springbok centurion with experience of beating the Lions? Jean de Villiers started the first two Tests back in 2009, and – ahead of a monumental 80 minutes in Cape Town this Saturday – reflects on this gripping rivalry, and which side might go on to carve their names in the rugby history books…

Ep. 10: Will with Jean de Villiers

This week, Will is joined by a player with a remarkable story: one who's gone from delivering pizzas in Dublin to show-stealing performances in the jerseys of the Scarlets, Munster, Ireland, and - now - the British & Irish Lions. Having come off the bench in Saturday's First Test victory, Beirne discusses the tour to date, and how it feels to be just one win away from rugby immortality…

Ep 9: Will with Tadhg Beirne

As the first Lions Test against South Africa draws ever closer, Ken Owens took some time out to join Will on this week's podcast. The CEO of the Lions' choir reflects on life in the bubble and gives an insight into how the players are feeling ahead of their first outing against the Springboks this Saturday.

Ep 8: Will with Ken Owens

With the first Test just over a week away, Will is joined by John ‘Bentos’ Bentley, who toured South Africa in 1997. Bentley not only started twice against the Springboks in that series win, but will go down as a Lions legend for his stunning solo try against the Gauteng Lions and antics on ‘Living with Lions’.

Ep 7: Will with John Bentley

As the Lions tour in South Africa gets under way Will is joined by two legends of the front row club in Tandai Mtawarira & Phil Vickery. They discuss going head to head in the 2009 Lions series, the importance of the scrum in their respective World Cup wins and the upcoming Springboks v Lions test series.
