  • Lions Top 10s: Test match animals
    Who are the players that reached another level when they pulled on the Lions jersey? Who became more synonymous with the Lions than they did for their country? In episode five of our top 10 series, Matt Dawson and Jamie Roberts join Chris to rank the greatest Test match animals. They also explain how the red shirt “supercharged” their performances and we debate whether they should make the list.

  • Lions win first Test against the Wallabies in Brisbane
    Chris is live from Brisbane after the Lions beat the Wallabies 27-19 in the first Test. Former Lion Andy Nicol and ex Scotland captain John Barclay join the pod to give their expert analysis of what they saw on the pitch. Both agreed it was a strong start by Andy Farrell’s men – then things went a little flat... Australian broadcaster Quentin Hull also drops by to give his insight into this Wallabies side and asks was a slow start to blame?Finn Russell, Tom Curry and Tadhg Beirne were some of the Lions players that impressed Andy and John – and the guys also look ahead to expectations for the second Test next week.

  • A Welsh Lion and an English Wallaby
    The first Test in Brisbane is almost upon us! Can Australia defy the odds and shock the Lions at their spiritual home? Chris catches up with Lions legend Jamie Roberts to get his take on Jac Morgan's omission and what the impact will be on the Welsh fans' love for the Lions. Jamie also pinpoints where he expects Australia to target Andy Farrell's side tomorrow. We also get the Wallabies perspective with Geoff Parling, a former Lion himself. We hear how he's been preparing his players to deal with the emotion of facing the Lions on home soil.

  • The Lions team is out!
    Chris and Ugo are in Brisbane as Andy Farrell names his long-awaited Lions Test team. There are some big selection calls in the back row as Farrell weighs up form against pedigree, while it’s an all-Scottish midfield in an otherwise Irish and English dominated squad. How will Jac Morgan be feeling after being left out? And what are the other areas of debate? We also discuss the Australia team after they lose some big names up front and turn to a rookie with a famous name at fly-half, before haring across town to meet up with Wallaby great Will Genia.

  • The Nations Pod - Brisbane Test week
    Tom has managed his first round of golf of the tour and turns up to the pod with news of a hole in one – sort of! GRO is starting to get tour FOMO now that Chris is on the ground, but how will he feel after the series done? We discuss what we want from the Tests, and if the Wallabies can deliver jeopardy and drama we crave. Would three resounding wins for the Lions be a good thing? News of the Test team has started to emerge in Brisbane ahead of the announcement tomorrow and all signs point to an all-Scottish midfield. There’s finally a Welsh win for GRO to celebrate and more Springbok rugby shenanigans to debate.
