Si vous suivez le rugby et le Tournoi des Six Nations, vous avez remarqué que chaque équipe a son emblème : le chardon pour l'Écosse, la rose pour l'Angleterre, le trèfle pour l'Irlande, nous évidemment le coq, mais le Pays de Galles, lui, c'est le poireau. Sans doute le plus bizarre et le moins glamour de tous. Et pourtant du côté de Cardiff, le poireau, c'est plus qu'un légume, car c'est grâce à lui que le Pays de Galles a remporté une des plus grandes batailles de son histoire.

Former England and Leicester player, and now one of the most coveted attack coaches in the game, Sam Vesty joins Bigs for a deep dive into the state of modern attacking rugby. The lads give their take on England's misfiring attack and kicking strategy, why they're struggling to convert chances in the 22, and whether confidence or system is the bigger issue. Vesty also talks about player connections in coaching, the impact of Premiership rugby on international readiness, and the growing trend of utility backs in the modern game. From Ireland's layered attacking shape to Scotland's impressive Six Nations form and France's apparent chaos that somehow produces magic, the conversation breaks down what makes the best attacks tick. Bigs and Rob also take a look at the final round of Six Nations and preview what promises to be a nervous day with the Championship and Wooden Spoon up for grabs. Learn more about your ad choices.

Send a textToday, we welcome Robert Paylor to the podcast with an amazing and inspiring story!A national championship match. A broken neck. In a few violent seconds, Robert  went from Cal rugby standout to a young man hearing he'd never walk or move his hands again. What happened next wasn't a neat comeback—it was a decision repeated every day: control the mindset, fight the fight, and build a life anchored in faith, family, and purpose.We invited Robert to unpack the full arc—growing up on humility and service, finding identity in elite sport, then losing it in an instant and choosing to rebuild from the inside out. He shares the exact moment a spiritual mentor reframed his power, how his mom and dad went “beast mode” to secure lifesaving rehab, and why forgiveness became his most demanding discipline. Robert explains how a GoFundMe turned into a global community, why fear and burnout can be as paralyzing as injury, and how practical routines, visible reps, and top 1% effort create momentum when odds say quit.You'll also hear the love story that steadied him—meeting Carson after the injury, embracing vows that mean something, and becoming a dad against long odds. Robert talks candidly about identity, faith under pressure, and being the man he wants his son to become: pray, plan, put the phone down, love well, and work with intent. Today he walks 500 yards with a walker, speaks to teams and companies, and wrote Paralyzed to Powerful to turn pain into tools anyone can use.If you're searching for a mindset reset, a model of leadership at home, or a reason to forgive and move forward, this conversation will stay with you.

In this week's episode, Lesley and Fraser digest a whirlwind week that saw Scotland's rugby players secure another win—but this time, there's a trophy involved with a very specific history. Fraser reveals his own "tangential" role in the creation of the Old Alliance Trophy and why it's definitely not a cup.The mood shifts as we analyse the terrifying escalation in the Middle East following the bombing of a girls' school in Minab, South Iran. We discuss the chilling rhetoric of the US administration, the surge in oil prices, and the stark contrast in European leadership—from Spain's firm "no" on base access to the "swithering" internal dynamics of the UK Labour Party.Closer to home, we look at a genuine medical breakthrough: a pioneering study at NHS Grampian showing that AI can increase breast cancer detection by 10%. But it's not all good news for the tech world; we discuss Donald Trump's targeting of Anthropic (the makers of Claude) and what the future holds for software development jobs.Plus, Lesley shares how she's using AI to sift through a decade of Nordic research, and we look ahead to the march on Calton Hill on the 28th.In this episode:The Old Alliance Trophy: The story behind the silverware and Scotland's continuing rugby streak.Iran & The "Short-Term Excursion": Analysing the school bombing in Minab and the global fallout of $120-a-barrel oil.Spain vs. The White House: Why Pedro Sanchez stood his ground while the UK government remains internally divided.AI—The Life Saver and the Supply Chain Risk: From the NHS Grampian breakthrough to Trump's "stushie" with Anthropic.Gathering Again: March on Calton Hill on the 28th and LinksSupport the podcast with a monthly or annual subscription https://lesleyriddoch.com/podcast/subscribePioneering study finds AI increases cancer detection by more than 10 per cent https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cjd9gn4j7dyoAndrew Redman's "The March on Calton Hill" print https://andrewrbarr.com/portfolio/march-on-calton-hill/(Fraser highly recommends this one for your wall!)Lesley Riddoch: Reading Scotland at Newbattle Abbey College 12th Marchhttps://www.eventbrite.com/e/lesley-riddoch-reading-scotland-tickets-1982952469215Finland Film Screenings - see all here https://lesleyriddoch.com/eventsNext upDunfries - Friday 13 March https://rbcfilmtheatre.co.uk/all-listings/lesleyriddochGreenock - Saturday 14 Marchhttps://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/finland-the-happiest-country-that-almost-didnt-exist-tickets-1980199784862?aff=oddtdtcreatorArtists for Independence - Oran Mor 14th Marchhttps://www.ticketsource.co.uk/independence-forum-scotland/were-putting-the-band-back-together-supporting-scottish-arts/e-rbjakzThe 28th March And Rally Edinburghhttps://www.believeinscotland.org/march_and_rally_for_independence.The Lesley Riddoch Podcast with Fraser ThompsonFYP4LeHoqefkfw4kYYtQ ★ Support this podcast ★

Dave Rennie's All Blacks era begins, and we're diving straight into the deep end.In this episode of The Bonus Point (recorded live at Three Weavers Brewing Company in Inglewood CA), Tj is joined by Alfonso Horomia (Pig Athletic - Rugby Heads Podcast) to break down one of the biggest coaching storylines in New Zealand rugby: Dave Rennie replacing Scott “Razor” Robertson as All Blacks head coach. We unpack how Robertson's tenure unraveled, what Rennie's Māori and Cook Islands background and coaching journey (Chiefs, Wallabies, Glasgow, Kobe) bring back to the black jersey, and why current and former players are so bullish on his ability to rebuild culture, clarity and edge. We also look ahead to the brutal “Rugby's Greatest Rivalry” tour of South Africa and ask what a long, old-school tour against the Springboks could do for this new-look All Blacks side.In the second half, we shift into Super Rugby Pacific mode. After four rounds, we talk through who's actually setting the pace: the Brumbies' consistency, the Chiefs' attacking fireworks, the Hurricanes' statement win, and what Beauden Barrett's return means for the Blues. We pick out early-season standouts, surprise performers, and a few red flags for the traditional powerhouses.To finish, we hit our Bonus Point segment with some fast-paced, rugby-themed questions and predictions to tie everything together—Rennie, the Boks tour, and the Super Rugby race.

The discourse centers upon the historical significance of the first college football game played in the Midwest, a topic of paramount importance in the context of American sports history. Tim Brown of Football Archaeology elucidates the evolution of football narratives, illuminating the longstanding misconceptions regarding the origins of the game in this region. Through rigorous research, he reveals that the first recorded match involved Northwestern University and the Chicago Football Club in February 1876, challenging the previously accepted account of a game between Michigan and Racine College. This episode not only explores the implications of such revelations on our understanding of football's formative years but also prompts a broader discourse on the criteria for categorizing early matches as football or rugby. We invite our listeners to engage with these intricate historical inquiries and appreciate the roots of the game we hold dear today.Join us at the Pigskin Dispatch website to see even more Positive football news!

Warning – This episode contains very strong language. Chris catches up with Ben Youngs to discuss his new BBC documentary about rugby and player safety. Through honest conversations with former players, medical experts, and teammates, Youngs explores the long-term impact of concussion and repeated head injuries. We hear Ben's powerful interview with Lewis Moody where he talks openly about living with MND, how it has affected his family and if he has any regrets from his playing days. Does the game still need to do more when it comes to head injuries and player safety? Sam Peters, author of ‘Concussed', who has spent over a decade investigating the links between rugby and neurodegenerative diseases also joins Chris to look at what more could be done to protect players, particularly in training? And what about the grassroots game? Is enough being done at that level to ensure there are adequate measures in place to protect against concussion? You can watch the full documentary ‘Ben Youngs Investigates: How Safe Is Rugby?' on the BBC iPlayer.

WASHINGTON, DC - In this week's MLR Weekly Old Glory Co-Owner Chris Dunlavey (who still laces the boots), talks with Matt McCarthy re wide range of topics listed below. WHAT'S INSIDE AND WHEN:

On Thursday's Football Daily, Phil Egan brings news from last night's Premier League action and Celtic keep their title challenge on track, whilst Troy Parrott is into another Dutch Cup final.Arsenal move seven points clear at the top of the Premier League after a narrow 1–0 win away to Brighton, with the result sparking debate about their game management and time-wasting tactics.Mikel Arteta defends his side's approach in the title race after criticism from Brighton boss Fabian Hürzeler.Brighton's frustration grows as Opta stats show Arsenal took over 30 minutes of restart time, prompting Hürzeler to claim only one team tried to play football.Bukayo Saka marks his 300th Arsenal appearance in style, scoring the decisive goal as Arteta praises the England international's importance to the team.Manchester City drop points in a dramatic 2–2 draw with Nottingham Forest, leaving Pep Guardiola's side seven points off the pace.Manchester United suffer their first defeat under Michael Carrick, losing 2–1 at Newcastle despite playing against ten men for the entire second half.João Pedro hits a hat-trick as Chelsea beat Aston Villa 4–1, with Liam Rosenior praising the Brazilian striker's form this season.West Ham boost their survival hopes with a 1–0 win at Fulham, thanks to another crucial goal from in-form winger Crysencio Summerville.Tottenham boss Igor Tudor dismisses relegation talk ahead of Spurs' crucial clash with Crystal Palace, while Palace manager Oliver Glasner backs Brennan Johnson to shine against his former club.Elsewhere, Celtic stay in the Scottish title hunt, while Ireland striker Troy Parrott helps AZ Alkmaar reach the Dutch Cup final ahead of the upcoming international break.Become a member and sign up at offtheball.com/join 'This week our live commentary game comes from Tallaght Stadium as Shamrock Rovers look to get their season back on track as they welcome Derry City to the capital.Kick off is at 8 o'clock on Friday and Stephen Doyle will be joined by Richie Towell in the commentary booth for that one, with build-up starting on Off The Ball on Newstalk and the GoLoud App from 7pm.'

Become a Supporter of the Real Science of Sport by making a small monthly pledge, and get access to our world-famous, and very stimulating, Discourse community!Show notesThis week's show kicks off in London, where Ross recently attended World Rugby's Annual Shape of the Game meeting. he shares some insider insights on topics including law change in the sport, what fans want, and the tensions rugby bosses are facing to grow the game. Staying on rugby, we discuss head injury management, after a few stories popped up in the world of rugby. In the first, a player was allowed to continue playing by the team doctor, but the referee stepped in to have the player removed with a concussion. In the second, a player admitted to 'cheating' the Head Injury Assessment screen back in 2017 to keep playing with a concussion. We discuss whether Rugby's policies to manage head injuries are working?Shifting gears, we return to the snow of Milan Cortina, as Gareth noticed some interesting discussion about cross-country skiing, and whether 50km was too long because of the challenges it creates for athletes who run out of fuel. We talk about "hitting the wall", and the truth about how our bodies use carbohydrates versus fat during endurance exercise.Then we talk doping. First, the UCI have asked its Testing Agency to catch a big name doper, with a feeling that the absence of positive tests isn't necessarily indicative of a clean sport, and their desire to catch a higher level rider apparently reflecting that realization. Staying on doping, Tara Moore is suing the WTA for $20 million after a series of bans, appeals and eventual bans for doping that she believes was inadvertently caused by meat contamination.Our final doping conversation comes from Athletics, where a Member asks whether the records should be reset when they are suspected of being the result of doping. This would particularly affect the Women's record books. We discuss that, offering some insights into how they might justify the removal of some, but not all records, and whether it can feasibly be done.And finally, there was drama in the USA last weekend, where race leaders followed the lead car off course, and eventually lost podium spots and prize money. Calls to award those athletes the prize money and places at the World Champs have been growing in volume, and we discuss why the logical solution is not all that tricky, despite the letter of the law standing in the way.LinksAnthony Watson admits to cheating the Concussion protocols to continue playingI mentioned the World Rugby Player Welfare Symposium, it's next week (9 to 11 Mach), it's online and it's free to everyone.

After a tough set of runs for England, Alex and Hask head to Allianz to speak with those at the heart of the storm. First-up, the lads sit down with Conor O'Shea, Director of Performance Rugby at England Rugby, to hear about how England are dealing with the pressure approaching Rome. Conor gives his verdict on both England and Italy and speaks passionately about developing pathways through the Continental Tyres Schools Cup. In the second half, Jamie George, Jack van Poortvliet and Manny Iyogun share the mood inside camp and what it means to wear the England shirt, from their earliest memories of the game, to blocking out the noise and finding a fresh energy. 00:00
