About this episode

The episode reviews the mid-season performance of rugby teams and discusses the England World Cup squad announcement.

This week, Back Ten regular Danny McGuire alongside Kyle Amor and Josh McAllister, assess the season so far at the mid-season point. Who have been the big performers and who have been the biggest let-downs? Are Wigan the frontrunners despite only being sat 4th in the table, and can Leeds Rhinos, after a 9-year draught, finally add some more silverware to their Super League collection? Will St Helens drop out the playoff places, and can Warrington hang onto the top 2 with a tough run of fixtures incoming? We also look through Brian McDermott's first England performance squad ahead of the 2026 World Cup! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
