They’ll tell you about the changing rooms at Stadio Olimpico, the lengthy walk to the pitch and Dan translates the Italian national anthem. It’s a great episode.

In this first episode, Dan Cole and Ben Youngs take you on a tour of the England team hotel. They tell you what’s it really like when players live, train and eat together, before sleeping next to each other every night. Dan has just gone into England camp for yet another Six Nations, but how much of his life has he spent there? Which player is most likely to stay up until 4am playing Call of Duty? Who’s most likely to Facetime their dog? Who sleeps in? Who plays Barbara Streisand in the gym? And what do the England squad have for pudding?

No man has played rugby for England more than Ben Youngs. He’s also a scrum-half so he’s spent most of his 127 games chatting away to team-mates, opposition and referees. His mate Dan Cole also has over 100 caps, 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. Throughout the Six Nations they’ll bring their ultimate guide to the championship, give you a behind the scenes tour of Twickenham, and tell you what really happens inside an England camp. They’ll occasionally have guests, and special correspondent Joe Marler will be on speed dial for whenever they need him. Oh and they just love rugby. Learn more about your ad choices.
