About this episode

The episode discusses Sir James Dyson's investment in Bath Rugby and its implications for the club and English rugby.

Sir James Dyson has become a 50% shareholder at Bath, so what does that mean for the club and for English domestic rugby? Will it cement the clubs place at the top of the PREM for years to come? And it will it encourage further investment into the league? Alfie Reynolds is joined by Alex Lowe, Charlie Morgan and Will Kelleher to answer all those questions and chat about the return of the Prem. With Saracens' defeat is it now 5 teams vying for a spot in the top 4? Why are Harlequins lacking such an identity? And, was Chris Boyd at The Stoop having started in his new role with Gloucester? 'Detective Charlie' has the answer. Plus, Will interviews Gloucester and England centre Seb Atkinson. *** Allianz Future Fund | Allianz Insurance Hosted on Acast.
