Lawrence and Steve welcome former Saracens and England lock, George Kruis, to the studio for a chat as they round up the end of the Six Nations and look ahead to the return of the Premiership, with special focus on The Showdown between Saracens and Harlequins.
George explains his role as line out consultant to the England team, why he feels the team’s future is so bright, and what drives the culture at his former club, Saracens. He also talks about his business fourfive.com and what he’s learned most in his transition from locker room to boardroom. Check out an exclusive discount code for listeners to the pod (see below.)
Plus Lawrence tells us who he thinks are the real winners of this year’s Six Nations, why Warren Gatland should stay in charge at Wales and whether Scotland have peaked with their performance.
Lol and Steve are also joined by Evening Standard rugby correspondent, Nick Purewal, who reveals his retirement conversation with Danny Care and which basketball star Steve Borthwick has been quoting in his post match interviews. Nick also looks ahead to the start of the Women’s Six Nations and updates us on the latest news about the possible return of London Irish.
