On this week’s episode of The Left Wing, Will Slattery and Luke Fitzgerald are joined by Gavin Mairs of The Daily Telegraph to discuss the landscape of English rugby after a tumultuous Covid year.

First, Will and Luke discuss Munster vs Ulster and Johann van Graan’s short-term future.

Then Gavin joins the lads and they chat about whether the English sides still value Europe and if the Premiership is as good as all the hype suggests.

The prospect of a Lions League, the emergence of Harlequins and Eddie Jones’ England are all up for discussion too.
