After a bit of an absence, it's been a busy season (!), the boys are back and with a very special guest - England U18 Head Coach Jonathan Pendlebury!

They talk all things U18s, including the rise of recent stars like Noah Caluori and Henry Pollock, as well as the current squad, the boom in state school rugby, and plenty more!

Who do you want to hear on the pod next? Let us know!

There's also a look ahead to tonight's LIVE game (7.30pm KO, Thursday 25th September) - Clifton College v Kirkham Grammar - The Ryan Bresnahan Memorial Game.
