Should Van Rensburg be in the England squad?
About this episode
The episode discusses the inclusion of Benhard Janse Van Rensburg in the England squad and the implications for the RFU, alongside reflections on the Champions Cup and the Women's 6 Nations.
Steve Borthwick's latest England training squad includes Benhard Janse Van Rensburg, who has qualified on residency grounds. Does it make sense for him to be parachuted directly into the set up? Or is it a bad look for the RFU and their talent pipelines? Alfie Reynolds, Charlie Morgan and Will Kelleher chat about that and the news that South African sides might pull out of the Champions Cup. Is this a good or a bad thing for the competition? Bordeaux attack coach Noel McNamara speaks to Will ahead of the Champions Cup final this weekend as they take on Leinster. The lads reflect on the end of the Women's 6 Nations as the Red Roses won the title again. And, they review a 'disgraceful' defeat for Bristol in the Prem as Pat Lam's side conceded over 90 points. *** Allianz Future Fund | Allianz Insurance Hosted on Acast.
