Four-time Olympic champion sprinter Michael Johnson joins Gabby and Mark for an exclusive interview ahead of the third 'Grand Slam Track' event of the year. Everyone wants to see the 100m final at the Olympics, but how many people tune into athletics outside the main meets? Johnson wants to change that with 'Grand Slam Track' - a series of four events per year, where Racers each compete in two track events against a rotating cast of Challengers for a $100,000 winners cheque. So how do you judge success when you're a sports start up? Are the biggest names like Noah Lyles going to sign up soon? And, as a (self-admitted) impatient person, how is Michael handling this project? (11:00)Plus, Gabby and Mark react to a final-filled weekend from Arsenal lifting the Women's Champions League trophy, to Gary Lineker's goodbye on Match of the Day, and the noise around the refereeing as Northampton Saints lost the Champions Cup final. (01:30) And we look forward to a special bonus episode coming your way on Wednesday: an exclusive behind the scenes look at Sale Sharks rugby club, the Northern powerhouse who have one game left to make the play-offs. That includes access to the team meeting and interviews with Lions and England stars, George Ford and Tom Curry.

Duhan van der Merwe and Darcy Graham.... the record extenders and also an absolutely filthy piece of skill from our old pal Adam Hastings.But what next for Fiji, will the big guns returning manage to reunite our favourite second nation?and how about the Danny Care book spilling all the beans on the Eddie Jones era.... we'd heard a few anecdotes on the show but what do the boys think about all the revelations?Lots of fun to be had, we hope you enjoy it and as always, thanks for listening and watching we love you!

Chris hosts Ugo and Danny for a definitive review of the 2023/2024 season. With the help of the listeners, we go through the highlights of an exhilarating campaign at both club and international level, from South Africa's Rugby World Cup triumph to the flex of the Olympics-bound Antoine Dupont. How good was George Ford's masterclass against Argentina? How impressive was Glasgow's URC title win? And where does Ireland's victory in South Africa rank? The guys also pick their Lions XVs for the 1st Test against Australia next summer, and unsurprisingly struggle to agree.

George Ford is back in his tactics bunker for his latest episode with ex-England team-mate Ben Youngs. They discuss how Ciaran Frawley managed Ireland over the line in Durban, the history of the cross-field kick, how you make an impact from the bench and they tell you why Kevin Sinfield is so valuable to the England team. 

George Ford and Ben Youngs get stuck into the big tactical topics. They build an England game plan to beat New Zealand at Eden Park, explain the growing influence of George Furbank and tell you how Marcus Smith will be feeling this week.  They talk about the way Joe Schmidt will try and rebuild Australia, and suggest that Ireland need to score more quickly against South Africa this weekend.

They also grab a word with England and Saracens back row Ben Earl who says they're so focused for Friday night it's 'scary'. Ashy is forced to pick between George Ford and Finn Russell as we look ahead to Saturday's semi-final between Bath and Sale. Plus we grab a word with the legendary England and Lions centre Jeremy Guscott, who was part of the last Bath team to win the title back in 1996!

England fly-half George Ford is in the studio with Ben Youngs and Dan Cole for probably the best interview he's ever given. How does he run a test match? How did he mastermind England's wins over Ireland and Argentina? And how he transformed England's “clunky” attack into something that excited fans towards the end of the Six Nations.
