For The Love Of Rugby

Ben Youngs and Anthony Watson have travelled to Lyon to speak to some of rugby’s biggest names for the launch of the Investec Champions Cup.

We catch up with our old mate - and two-time winner - Ben Tameifuna about his iconic celebrations.

Jordan Larmour also joins to share the perspective of a Leinster side that were defeated in Bilbao.

Leicester Tigers young star Emeka Ilione might just be one of the most interesting rugby players in the game today: a unit on the pitch who’s spent his time away injured training as a doctor.

Plus, Stormers sensation Riley Norton chats about his decision to snub a cricket career to forge his way into the bomb squad; and former England-turned-Racing 92 lock Jonny Hill reveals he is a FTLOR superfan.
