After a tough set of runs for England, Alex and Hask head to Allianz to speak with those at the heart of the storm. First-up, the lads sit down with Conor O’Shea, Director of Performance Rugby at England Rugby, to hear about how England are dealing with the pressure approaching Rome. Conor gives his verdict on both England and Italy and speaks passionately about developing pathways through the Continental Tyres Schools Cup. In the second half, Jamie George, Jack van Poortvliet and Manny Iyogun share the mood inside camp and what it means to wear the England shirt, from their earliest memories of the game, to blocking out the noise and finding a fresh energy.
