The Prince of Centres, Jeremy Guscott! - Good Bad Rugby Podcast #48

🏉 LGB&RTQ takeover powered by VodafoneUK. Launching Breaking Through with Alex Payne & James Haskell soon.
Alex Payne and Mike Tindall are joined by Bath legend, Jeremy Guscott, to talk all things Lions; the '97 series-clinching drop goal, South Africa's prospects in this year's tests and the intel he happily gave to the Lions that he wouldn't give to England.

Jez was such a great player and it’s great to hear his journey. Warts and all. What a legend. Great point about not getting emotional. Wasted energy for so many.

[@KmT81]

A great player .He's cool and down to earth . I really began to watch Rugby in 97 in the 5 Nations but I didnt remember the Players. Im French and also an England's Rugby and Wales Fan but I only remembered Benazzi . I saw in the 99 5 Nations Rodber but I didnt remembered him as I saw him in the 95 WC . I saw Guscott in the 98 5 Nations in their Opening match in Stade de France ,I was 17 .A great Player and runner.

[@PAHAMILTON49]

Brilliant, just bloody brilliant. Thank you again.

[@cobusbrits2]

Havent we watched this movie before? At 34:29 it is interesting how quick Alex changed the subject after Guscott's 'Boks one trick pony' comment. Last time he allowed Tindell to ramble on about the Boks form against Wales in the WC semis, he had a quiet snicker himself. Thanks Jeremy, your comment is just what the Boks need...

[@dj9g10]

excellent interview

From a younger rugby fan who Jerry was before my time, this was very interesting, great listen. Cheers lads!

Jerry and Danie Gerber my favourite Centres……….excellent interview

[@sockwithaticket]

Having been of the opinion that he needs to be swept out with the rest of the BBC's aged pundits whose decades away from the game mean they no longer have much worth saying about contemporary top level rugby, this pod has left me wondering how the Beeb get so little out of him. Very interesting.

[@garethdesborough7960]

What you see/hear is what you get with Jerry - no pretence and no false pride. He was brilliant and a little arrogant when young but he knew it and corrected it. A total legend of the game.😊

[@zacho2496]

Great episode

[@oldman774]

Jeremy forgets the “one trick ponies” outscored the Lions in 97 by nine tries to three, The reason the Boks lost was due to their goal kicking, eg. losing the second test whilst scoring three tries to nil.

[@notw22]

i like hoiw he mentioned in 97 they dominated us physically hahahaha, but since then we haven't been able to do shit!

[@michaelmulhall5007]

[@MrBreakdownBoy]

@@michaelmulhall5007 Lol mate, PDIV played a backup boks team in the 3rd game! Also could've, would've, should've. Your pack was mincemeat mate. There was uncontestable scrums because your front row was destroyed by the bok physicality. We scored tries against your defense from straight set piece moves. Nah mate, if it was a third test we would be beating your lions just on scrum penalties alone. The 2009 boks were the best team that year, beating the AB's in three consecutive matches.

[@OnantheContrarian]

Everyone talks about his drop goal, but what about his grubber against Aus for the Lions? Solid gold ledge.

[@t.bozmkw3562]

How can Guscott think the way he does with the depth SA rugby has. Guscott has been a pundit on Supersport. He should know how good we actually are.

If Springboks are one trick ponies as jeremy says and have 3 World Cups to their name I say stick to what works. England knew exactly what was coming their way in World Cup final but could not stop the one trick ponies. Funny that.

I think every Lions fan shares Mike’s comments at 33’00. I’ve got a few memes lined-up in my back pocket. I’m confident the Lions will deliver and I’ll get to use them. Jeremy Guscott is Lions royalty. Loved his frank take on the current Springbok squad. Could’ve taken another hour of that. Great stuff 👍👍

[@mosesfakatou7943]

14:44 never realised that, but it is a bit weird that we go crazy when the forwards win a scrum penalty, does feel like that should just be expected and not celebrated like a winning try aha

Jeremy should consider coaching the England against South African since he has all the answers maybe England will win more than the four games they won against south african in the last 19 games in the next 19 games.

You pommies were sooooo confident and almost derogatory before the 19 final, and ultimately England were shown up as show ponies, not even one trick ponies....admittedly the Lions are are a far tougher prospect so will be interesting to watch it all unfold.

[@wgjansenvanvuren8160]

If anyone thinks that the Covert Boks and the rest of the South African players that has not since 2019 played any tests, no Super 14 and neither Champion games against the teams of New Zeeland, Australië and Argentinia-if they are READY for the B&I Lions that had Six Nations and European club rugby on the highest level during 2020 and 2021 doesn't know and understand rugby-the Boks are going to loose this series because of the above.

[@imeraannaidoo401]

Jeremy has become become a braggat since he kicked over that last kick to win Bokke.. Watching that game they were lucky to win.. only reason he had to kick it and came off because they could not break down our defence.. Why are English so arrogant? every sport they comment they automatically think they the best.. You guys are not the best .if it was nor for internationally players your soccer and Rugby would not be as strong as it is.. it would be the weakest league You won one world cup .. and you guys consider you the best... Bull.. 4 countries rolled into one.. British Lions should win every country and every match. And the draw against the All Black was luck as well.. if Sonny didn't get that red card , lions would of get a hiding.. English.. must get off your high horse..
