Podcast appearances and mentions of George Ford

Ireland v Australia. Italy v South Africa. Scotland v Argentina. Wales v Japan. How good. Not done with just talking to George Ford straight after his MOTM performance against the All Blacks, Ben Youngs & Dan Cole are back in the For The Love Of Rugby studio to dissect the rest of the weekend's biggest games!

Rob Jones is joined by Jacqui Oatley, Martin Samuel and Julien Laurens to reflect on the weekend's sporting action.We begin by looking at England's unbeaten World Cup qualification. But is Jacqui right to think that, while praise is due, Tuchel's real test will be winning the tournament itself?Attention then turns to Scotland. After their 3–2 loss to Greece, everything now comes down to Tuesday night at Hampden, where they host Denmark and hope to top the group with a win.We move on to Wales, who beat Liechtenstein to draw level on points with second-placed North Macedonia and now look to reach the play-offs by beating them on Tuesday.Next, we turn to England's impressive win against the All Blacks. Martin highlights George Ford's two drop goals in a 33–19 performance that indicates Steve Borthwick's approach is bearing fruit.We're then joined by Adam Collins to preview the Ashes. With just five days to go, Australia are without both Pat Cummins and Josh Hazlewood, and Adam believes the key will be how quickly England hit the ground running.And finally, we're joined by Rob Dorsett, who discusses all things England with John Cross and Jason Burt in Tirana ahead of Albania v England.Sunday Supplement is a Sky Sports podcast.

England begin their autumn campaign with victory over Australia and extend their winning run to eight matches. Chris is back on the pod with Ashy and Matt Dawson to pick through a contest that was close until the hour mark. What are the big positives for Steve Borthwick and his men?

It's the start of the November internationals so Alfie and Will look ahead to the matches this weekend, including England's game against Australia. They discuss Steve Borthwick's bold selection of moving Tommy Freeman to outside centre, which means no Ollie Lawrence, as well as George Ford starting at fly-half. Sam Warburton chats to Will about the WRU's plans to cut the number of regional sides from four to three and he also explains why despite their current poor form Wales should be capable of having a competitive national side again. And, the boys round up the Prem rugby action by asking who has impressed them the most following the first block of fixtures? Plus, which countries will have a successful Autumn campaign and who will be left disappointed? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The first major peak of the season is nearly here with the Autumn Nations Series, and the new England squad announcement has delivered two massive headlines: the departure of Tom Willis to France, and the inclusion of teenage try-scoring sensation Noah Caluorie. But the real debate is at fly-half. From Andrew & Barnes, Wilkinson and his challengers, Farrell to Ford, the England number ten jersey has always been a national talking point. Now, with George Ford, Fin Smith, and Marcus Smith all vying for the starting spot, who will Steve Borthwick hand the keys to ahead of the next World Cup cycle? Joining Payno this week are two men who know the pressure cooker of fly-half selection better than anyone: former England 10s and World Cup stars Charlie Hodgson (38 caps, Premiership's all-time top scorer) and Toby Flood (60 caps, 2011 Six Nations winner).

Ugo, Danny and Ashy are back, but even though the Prem brought another weekend full of surprises they had to start the pod with the sad news that former England captain and British and Irish Lions legend, Lewis Moody has been diagnosed with motor neurone disease. The guys all played with him and reflect on how the rugby community can get behind Lewis to support him and his family, during this difficult time. And they hear from Moody himself who spoke to BBC about his condition. In terms of the Prem – Leicester's win against Quins proved to be a comeback for the ages with Ugo admitting that Harlequins are in a hole right now. Even though his Sale side lost to Bath, chat turns to George Ford and if he has the smartest rugby brain in the Prem – and has Owen Farrell given Saracens a lift? Away from matters on the pitch, the trio critique Chris Robshaw's Strictly performance and Ugo has agreed to a bet if Chris does better than he did…. and is Ashy's ‘Ash splash dive' coming back on trend?

The Springboks have retained the Rugby Championship for the first time in their history and Rassie Erasmus is building a terrifying squad; New Zealand extended their winning streak over Australia but couldn't get their hands on the cup.

In this week's episode of the League Express Podcast, Editor Martyn Sadler and host Jake Kearnan are joined by Oldham Roughyeds Managing Director Mike Ford for an in-depth discussion on the future of Rugby League, Super League expansion, and Oldham's ambitious rise.

Ben Youngs and Dan Cole answer your questions as the Lions reach test week. Another wonderful weekend of international rugby ends with England taking home a series victory against Argentina. Ben and Dan discuss Steve Borthwick's evolving style, George Ford's marvellous form, and the plethora of options in a stacked back row. Plus, Wales finally win a game, Rassie Erasmus is up to his usual tricks, and with Fiji beating Scotland we ask why they couldn't have faced the Lions in Australia.

As England look to seal a series whitewash in Argentina, Chris chats to their latest centurion. George Ford reflects on a special day for him and the team last weekend and discusses how England are determined to back it up this Saturday. Ford also opens up on the disappointment of Lions selection and how he has dealt with setbacks over the course of his stellar career. And with Owen Farrell back available, have England ever had better options at number 10?

Congratulations to George Ford who joins England's 100 club with an absolute masterclass as England win in Argentina. Ben Youngs and Dan Cole give their analysis of that game and answer your British & Irish Lions questions, two days after that pretty uninspiring performance against the Waratahs.

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?

Is it warranted (it's not) what positives can this team take from another loss to the All Blacks.

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. 

Ashy and Chris are suited and booted for the RPA awards in central London where they manage to track down some of the biggest Premiership names who will be involved in this weekend's play-offs. First up on the pod it's Northampton duo Courtney Lawes and Fin Smith who look ahead to their showdown with Saracens which will be Lawes' final game at the Gardens after 17 seasons! 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!

“The public be damned” is a statement by railroad magnate William Henry Vanderbilt that has been twisted out of context. While the American ruling classes insist that private enterprise is the enemy of the people, it really is our government that bears that distinction. Narrated by Millian Quinteros.

Will Ireland wrap up back-to-back Six Nations titles or is there a big shock in store? The teams are out for Super Saturday and Chris is in Dublin to preview Ireland's clash with Scotland and get the thoughts of Luke Fitzgerald, who was part of the last Irish team to win successive titles. Sara is Lyon and has been to the England team hotel to speak to fly-half George Ford who hopes to mark his birthday this weekend with a first England win on French soil since 2016.

Ben, Charlie and Charles look ahead to the penultimate round of the Six Nations and in particular England's showdown with Ireland at Twickenham.Former England captain Will Carling joins us to offer us his thoughts on England, arguing a 'data straitjacket' is holding them back while revealing he had to argue with Eddie Jones to get current captain Jamie George into the leadership group back when he was a team mentor.The big selection question mark this week surrounds fly-half with Marcus Smith back in contention. Should he be fast-tracked into the starting line-up, or is George Ford or Fin Smith the better option? The guys make cases for each of the three starting on Saturday. Plus, we ask if Wales can turn their good performances into a win against struggling France this weekend, and whether Italy can replicate their heroics from round three when they host Scotland in Rome.
