    Fresh off an NRL Grand Final win with the Sydney Roosters, Wallaby, Olympian, Kangaroo and State of Origin winner Mark Nawaqanitawase joins us in the studio. At just 26, he’s one of the hottest properties in world rugby.
    We hear about fainting on day two of Roosters pre-season, why league is a game of “finding comfort in the darkness”, and the incredible skills that went viral. He also explains what he plans to bring back to union.
    We also get into his mum’s brutal verdict on his career, his Fijian and Italian roots, Ferraris, and life with the Roosters. Then there’s his move to Japan with the Saitama Panasonic Wild Knights, the 2027 Rugby World Cup, and which jersey he’ll be wearing.

    England's Player of the Season, Joe Heyes, joins the GBR lads for one of the most honest interviews we’ve ever done.


    Joe talks us through Leicester's opening-weekend defeat to Saracens, before opening up on a much tougher chapter as a teenager, a battle with his mental health and the journey back to become England's best scummager.


    We also dig into Joe’s passion for history, his family's sporting heritage, his smoked-fish side hustle and where England go after a tough 12 months.


    ... Jonny May eventually made it in too.

    New season, same chaos. The wheels are rolling on Season 7 of The Good, The Bad & The Rugby, and we're kicking things off with our wildest preview yet. Payno, Hask and Tins run through everything ahead of a huge year of rugby: the headlines you need to know, the signings that'll shake up the leagues, the fixtures already circled in the calendar, the kits we're loving (and the ones we're not), the coaches we'd love to play for, and a full set of "Massive Punt Predictions" for 2026/27 that we absolutely do not expect to age well.


    Thank you as always to Continental Tyres, official tyre partner of England Rugby and proud sponsors of the Continental Tyres Schools Cup.

    It's the last show of the season, and what better way to sign off than with a brand new member of Team GBR joining the panel, Courtney Lawes sits down with Tins to break down a chaotic, controversial final weekend of Nations Championship rugby. England scrape past Argentina in one of the most chaotic games we've seen in years, four yellow cards and all. Courtney gives his verdict on whether England were simply "too aggy" against a scrappy Pumas side. We also round up the rest of the weekend: New Zealand's impressive win over Ireland, Scotland's near-miss against Fiji, and a dominant Springboks side that Courtney says are "operating like a religion" under Rassie Erasmus. It's been a mammoth season of GBR — thank you to every single one of you for watching and listening. See you next season! ───────────────────────────── 🔗 LINKS

    South Africa reminded everyone exactly why they're world champions, brushing England aside 45-21 at altitude in Johannesburg to open the new Nations Championship. Payno, Hask and Tins dig into where it really went wrong for England, not the early 17-0 hole (they clawed back to within three at half-time), but the, two costly yellow cards, and defensive system the boys argue isn't getting the best out of these players. It sparks a proper debate about whether Shaun Edwards is the "elephant in the room" England can't keep ignoring. The lads give their early thoughts on the tournament itself. Plus Wales' back-to-back wins, Dave Rennie's winning start with the All Blacks, Ireland's fightback in Australia.

    Saracens, England and Lions legend Elliot Daly joins the boys for a wide-ranging conversation that's as entertaining off the field as he is on it. From his infamous first day at Wasps in full school uniform (briefcase very much denied), to three Lions tours, a siege-gun boot, and mentoring the next generation of English talent, Daly proves he's as sharp in the studio as he is at fullback. The lads also look ahead to a crunch Premiership clash with Exeter, dissect Mark McCall's coaching genius, and assess whether England's talented young squad can peak at the 2027 World Cup.

    Before professionalism swept it away, the Divisional Championship packed out Twickenham and launched international careers. Today, we're bringing it back. Armed with current pros, regional pride, and very little agreement on eligibility rules, our panel drafts four teams - North, Midlands, London & South, and the South West - and puts it to you to decide who'd win.

    Joining the show are World Cup winner and Leicester Tigers legend Ben Kay, and cross-code flying machine Martin "Chariots" Offiah - a man who actually pulled on the London jersey in 1987. Together with Payno and Tins, they argue, haggle, and horse-trade their way through the ultimate fantasy rugby draft.

    His coach told him to keep the guns in the holsters. Ryan Lamb never listened. The cult Gloucester fly-half who helped light up the Premiership at just 20 years old joins Alex and Tins for a GBR classic. From locking a teacher in a cupboard to calling Stuart Lancaster "Steve", Lamby holds nothing back. He relives the iconic Bristol promotion playoff, his love-hate relationship with Dean Ryan, why he thought Premiership rugby was "quite easy," and what it's like running Plymouth Albion on their promotion charge.

For the first time, Marland opens up about the seismic shifts in his life: moving from St. Lucia to London, his rise at London Irish and Harlequins, and the devastating injury that nearly ended it all. He also addresses the harrowing period of being wrongly accused of rape and how he lost everything - his job, his reputation, and his peace - only to rebuild it from the ground up.

    After one of the wildest weekends of the Six Nations, the boys are back to break it all down. Payno, Tins, Jonny May and Ben Kayser dive into Scotland’s breathtaking performance against France.
