For The Love Of Rugby

The England Strategy | What is the masterplan?

What is the strategy at the very top of English rugby? Conor O’Shea is Executive Director of Performance Rugby at the RFU, but what does that mean?

The former Harlequins and Italy coach joins Ben Youngs and Dan Cole to answer some big questions. How do we get young players more game time? Who holds him accountable? And do we really think Nick Easter was making notes on his phone?

England's most capped men love rugby. 
Ben Youngs is a scrum-half so he’s spent most of his 127 games chatting away to team-mates, opposition and referees. His mate Dan Cole is still in the England squad, and has cult hero status thanks to his no-nonsense approach to most of life’s events.
They’ve spent 20 years together at Leicester Tigers, toured together for the British and Irish Lions, and now podcast together every week. They'll bring you their ultimate guide to rugby's biggest games, give you a behind the scenes tour of Twickenham, and tell you what really happens inside an England camp.
They’ll also have guests, and they will be some of the biggest names in rugby.
