By far the best prop interview with Thomas du Toit ever.
Proper questions, honest feedback from the best prop on the planet presently.
Would be nice to hear from some of the old school props as a comparison.
Tindall is the super sub. Never appears but great value when he finally makes an appearance.
Bizarrely in the latest episode with the England players the hosts didn’t introduce the players by name any point just “hey lads” culminating in a cacophonous conversation where you the listener had no clue who was talking at any time.
I’ll have some of what he’s drinking, please
Geez, there’s one thing being English and trying to be impartial but seriously boys if you want to lose every reader from every other country, you’re doing a great job.
Tins & Hask not showing up? Poor.
