The BIG Prem Preview: Part Two

Bbc Radio 5 Live
About this episode

There's a big Lions feel to the second part of our Prem rugby pod. Ashy and Sara speak to new Leicester DOR Geoff Parling fresh from coaching the Wallabies in Australia. We find out how he's settled in at his old stomping ground and what his vision is for the club. Then we chat to Tom Curry and Tommy Freeman about their experience on tour and what we can expect from their respective clubs this season. Will Sale finally go all the way? Can Northampton bounce back after losing their crown to Bath last season? We also talk Faz, proposals and Maro's wedding with Andy Onyeama-Christie. Plus, Tyrone Greene talks about life at Quins without DC and a summer of upheaval at Quins.
