What a great guy. Hope he gets to 100+, positive, driven, balanced team guy.

[@IAMJEFFREY-cw9ns]

Ben Youngs is a class act and world class scrum half! I really hope he gets his 100th cap. Such a lovely fella🙌

[@humphryrolleston3132]

Another superb show. Ben Youngs was a great guest and very moving about his family and how they coped with the massive challenge of cancer. Looking forward to see him lead England out to get his 100th cap and a win on that day!

[@S.CanAus]

Another fantastic pod. I don't even play rugby I just watch it from a distance and enjoy listening to top blokes having a good craic....beats listening to footballers

[@WalsallGooner]

This was a pretty good episode to watch. Ben Comes across as a well rounded character who gets on very well with the elite squad. He took a very understanding decision to support his family ahead of the lions tour to New Zealand. It also provided an insight as to how Eddie Jones likes his team. That combination of an aspiring work ethic and good teamwork is what Eddie wants and it suggests that players he has come across that we keep asking to be in the squad don’t fit with what Eddie needs in players to gel well with the team. That was funny what Haskell said about Martin Johnson making assertions that he was the leak and the team talk where Martin was pointing at a board as he was on a rant while his finger was directing at Haskell’s name 😅

Would love to see Nigel Owens on this

[@taylorkersey8707]

Nigel owens would be incredible on here

[@pattate9636]

What a lovely guy. Gutted for him losing out in the final, remember him scoring a cracking try in a great win on his debut in Australia with Jonny at 10.

[@calvinpetersen9057]

4 more years... BOKKE!!!!!

[@StanWilks]

God bless him. What a great guy. Loved hearing his story.

[@DanButcherMK90]

Great episode team, kudos to hask some good chat from him tonight

[@rugbygareth1612]

Another absolute pleasure of a show, Ben Youngs gave a fantastic interview with Hask injecting, as always, great stories from his own career.

[@jamesmassey1073]

Ben Youngs - what a quality bloke

[@willm5927]

Great episode! Really insigtful/interesting look into the England camp of years past.

[@jdart1975]

Hask : rugby ruins your body. Retires : im going into MMA! 🤣

[@clegsmegson2627]

Reckon at around 30:53 Hask is pulling it back but trying to look like he is involved?

[@razorheadinjapan73]

Great interview. Thanks, guys.

[@2adillon]

Hask is magic, great bloke to have around.

[@NotanotherDavidsmith]

Good quality as always. Couple of suggestions for the future: worst lids/haircut fifteen? Haskall might sneak a spot in that team. Supporting staff fifteen? House of Rugby guest fifteen? Journalist fifteen? Alex, really appreciate it when you press both Tinds/Hask for answers - too much on the fence sometimes! Overall, great stuff #haskforpres

[@Dwuntd]

I’d love to see/think would be interesting on this show: George Ford, Ben Teo, Jack Nowell, Courtney Laws, Dan Cole, Genia, Hooper, Ashton, N Easter.. Good to see rugby journalism doing good!! Sick of stupid questions from Journalists with no enjoyment/understanding of rugby or respect for our great players and coach!! Awesome job on this!

[@JOE_co_uk]

One of your list above will be on this week's show 🕵🏻‍♂️

[@Dwuntd]

JOE awesome!! My guess is Ashton

[@gambitbullet]

Mate that Mike brown interview though, love that passion

[@jameswylie8762]

Agreed, I love hearing sports people being honest.

[@jqkob7407]

My English Teacher was his Rugby coach. 😮

[@darthmong7196]

Southern hemisphere players accumulate caps faster than Northern as historically they've played more tests and fewer domestic games per year. The celtic nations tend to accumulate more caps as they don't have as much strength in depth and have an incumbent who plays on until they possibly can whereas English retirements generally come after a World Cup.

[@marthinusjansevanvuuren2774]

3min in and I am sure James has a new sponsor..

[@davidwilliams255]

Sorry but mike brown is not hated in Wales always have our respect as a winner and we understand his reaction after losing and sometimes it's the media asking stupid questions, maybe he isn't political correctness but great player who hated losing nothing wrong in that

[@philipwells5988]

Get the Tuilagi brothers on. Would be good to get their point of view on how they are seen, plus how they work as a family within the rugby world and coming to Leicester etc

[@rozed]

THIS GUESTS ARE CRAZY GOOD! KEEP IT UP JOE TEAM!

[@doug6500]

I can't imagine how frustrating it must be to be Ben Youngs (putting aside being a well-paid sportsman). Some great moments of course but by heck... some real heartbreak and brain farts.

[@gusc1418]

How often is this podcast cos it’s great

[@tyronematthews7480]

World Rugby is a great resource by the way and the Level £ course was a great experience, would encourage any uk coach to take their courses

[@simonhellier7281]

Where did Alex get the haircut?

[@andrewaldridge4260]

Love those vases

[@jonathanredman2153]

You guys should have Brian mujati on here, super interesting career hes had and having played in the premiership for so long

[@DEdwood]

may I ask why you never touched on the fact that Toms wife Tiff took CBD to cure herself? or have I got that wrong?

What did Simon mean by not suprised?

Alex Payne's wallpaper really contributes his eyes.

[@ThisIsAitch]

And yet still cocking up the audio halfway through 😅 got a fancy mic in front of him yet somehow switches to the airpod headphones during the mid-break 🙃

[@willlovell7289]

what's a catch tackle?

[@t.bozmkw3562]

England were rubbish before EJ, so the changes have been rife to find the right combo. Only Ben has remained constant.

[@Tom-ig2vm]

Who did the tuilagis go after bendemen?

[@lukedixon9426]

Talking of going after people.. I went to school with Jordan crane... what's the story behind the attempted decapitation, Hask?

[@lr114]

Ben Youngs: "Luke Cowan-Dickie's meeting was a funny one... Do you want to tell the story Hask" *The listeners all looking forward to hearing the funny story* Haskell: "So my meeting with Eddie... Me, me, me". *Doesn't tell the LCD story* This is why I rarely listen to the podcast any longer.

[@Derekduval963]

Another interesting show but as a welshman still something I do not like about Ben Youngs. Just cant explain it. It's like the Austin Healey effect.

[@darreng4683]

England were the best team at the RWC but the best team doesn't always win!

Could you speak about rugby league as it the house of rugby but you only cover rugby union and when you have spoken about league you took the piss so could you speak about league as there 2 codes

[@jamesmcloughlin4200]

@@djoseph_sm2783 its called house of rugby and there is 2 codes of rugby, so should speak about league as well as union

True there are 2 codes. I personally watch both and enjoy both. But these arent the people to talk league. Also, house of rugby union sounds shit
