Family and friendship are something incredibly important to Kevin Sinfield. Following the diagnosis of motor neurone disease in his friend and former Leeds Rhinos colleague Rob Burrow, Sinfield opens up on the effect that has had on him as a person, why he decided to run marathons to raise money and how the illness has changed his outlook on life. The England defence coach also speaks about his upbringing in Oldham, his incredibly rugby league career and his move into coaching in rugby union.

In this pod you will also hear from former club and international team mate Jamie Peacock as well as England players Maro Itoje and Henry Slade.
