On the second episode of the new series of The Break, Andy Goldstein speaks to Ronnie O'Sullivan as he prepares to defend his crown at the World Championship.

Ronnie discusses his season so far and his frame of mind heading to the Crucible. We hear his views on his main contenders, Neil Robertson and Judd Trump, and Ronnie also talks Covid, the return of fans and Jimmy White v Stephen Hendry.

But first, Andy Neal Foulds and Philip Studd discuss what makes the Crucible such a special venue, and the World Championship such a magic event, before looking at some of the runner and riders.

The Break is produced and edited by Ola Fisayo.
