Former England captain and Leicester Tigers legend Lewis Moody joins Alex to talk about his life, his career and his new book, Fronting Up.
Recorded in front of a live audience at a Times Event, they chat about winning the 2003 World Cup, the highs and lows of professional rugby and living with Motor Neurone Disease.
From being a fresh-faced recruit, straight out of private school, to entering the Leicester Tigers dressing room in the 90s, Lewis describes the lessons he's learnt from a career in professional sport and how his diagnosis changed his perspective on life.
A warning - the conversation occasionally uses the kind of language you might expect to hear in a rugby dressing room

England finished their Nations Championship matches this summer by beating Argentina 24-31!
Steve Borthwick's side produced some of their best rugby of 2026 but also suffered the same disciplinary issues which saw them almost collapse to draw.

They discuss whether the competition has been more successful than they expected, why Borthwick hit back despite the obvious discipline problems and where this leaves the team heading into November.
