The Telegraph Rugby Podcast

Episode 60: Ben Ryan, Reggie Corrigan, Nigel Owens and Damian Hopley

We now know the four teams in the Aviva Premiership and PRO14 finals, Saracens, Exeter, Scarlets and Leinster. Joining Brian Moore to discuss the latest news and action from rugby is former Fiji coach Ben Ryan. We discuss the appointment of Paul Gustard to Harlequins, as Ben reveals he was down to the final two for the role. Former Leinster prop Reggie Corrigan joins to debate the upcoming PRO14 final, and whether rugby is becoming boring. Nigel Owens is back from referee camp in Australia to tell us all about the discussions had down under. We speak with CEO and founder of the RPA, Damian Hopley, about mental health, how the RPA helps players and coaches alike to have open conversations on this subject, and we reflect on the RPA Awards ceremony. Plus, Brian and Ben have a candid conversation about how Ben's childhood experiences have affected the way he coaches and friendships.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
