About this episode

Ugo, Danny and Ashy are back, but even though the Prem brought another weekend full of surprises they had to start the pod with the sad news that former England captain and British and Irish Lions legend, Lewis Moody has been diagnosed with motor neurone disease. The guys all played with him and reflect on how the rugby community can get behind Lewis to support him and his family, during this difficult time. And they hear from Moody himself who spoke to BBC about his condition.

In terms of the Prem – Leicester’s win against Quins proved to be a comeback for the ages with Ugo admitting that Harlequins are in a hole right now. Even though his Sale side lost to Bath, chat turns to George Ford and if he has the smartest rugby brain in the Prem – and has Owen Farrell given Saracens a lift?

Away from matters on the pitch, the trio critique Chris Robshaw’s Strictly performance and Ugo has agreed to a bet if Chris does better than he did…. and is Ashy’s ‘Ash splash dive’ coming back on trend?
