The Rugby Pod

Good things come to those who wait! Jim's walked the Calcutta Cup all the way back up to Edinburgh (or missed his flight earlier this week!) and is back to revel in Scotland's Calcutta Cup comeback. We speak to the Scottish hero Finn Russell and also catch up with Welsh Grand Slam winner Rob Evans to find out all about their celebrations and to get the answers to what everyone wants to know about the man of the moment Alun Wyn Jones...

Big Jim and Goodey arrive in the studio after spending two days travelling down from Murrayfield with the Calcutta Cup and Darren Cave joins them in the studio to discuss all things Six Nations. We catch up with Wales centre Scott Williams to discuss their Grand Slam hopes and hear from Red Roses Captain Sarah Hunter on the prospect of sealing a Grand Slam at Twickenham on Saturday and where the women's game is at. All that plus a clip of our chat with Charlie Hodgson, hear what happened when Big Jim and Devin Toner came face to face and much, much more...

Big Jim has some explaining to do about his house in Harpenden that belonged to Nigel Wray, we discuss the effectiveness of the salary cap, the PR problems of the proposed World League and are joined by Ospreys legend Sean Holley to assess the region's potential merger with the Scarlets and the WRU's handling of the situation. All that, plus a look at the Six Nations and the Premiership and the week wrapped up in the Goode, the Bad and the Ugly...

We also take a look at the weekend's Premiership and PRO14 action and drop a few sizeable rumours in the Rumour Mill...

Jim's got a tale to tell about a 14-hour journey to Edinburgh, Mourad Boudjellal has given Goodey some more ammunition and he gives it to him both barrels and we build up to a massive weekend of Six Nations action by speaking to former Wales and British & Irish Lions international James Hook about Wales v England. We also talk to 50-cap England back rower Tom Wood about the game at the Principality Stadium and his chances of getting back in the England side on the back of a man of the match display for Saints and on the day he signed a new contract...
