Arise Sir Kev
Payno and Mike Brown are at Pennyhill Park to meet one of rugby’s most gallant crusaders, Sir Kev Sinfield. We talk about the extraordinary journey that has seen him raise more than £13 million for the fight against MND. From his promise to Rob Burrow, to running more than 1,000 miles across the UK, seven ultras in seven days and being knighted for his services to rugby and the MND community, Sir Kev explains what keeps him going and why he says he’ll be doing this for as long as it takes to find a cure. He also reflects on seeing Prince William and Princess Catherine at the finish line, his brilliant team of volunteers, his son Jack’s emotional Grand Final win, and plans to keep running abroad. Plus, England coaches Lee Blackett and Richard Wigglesworth join Payno and Mike to discuss their coaching philosophy, the quality of this England squad and their plans to face Australia and the All Blacks this Autumn. 🔗 LINKS 🍺 5th Nov O'Neill's Live Show - https://www.eventbrite.com/e/gbr-x-on... 🎤 Off-Road Live Tour: https://myticket.co.uk/artists/the-go... 📗 The Good, The Bad & The Rugby: Unloaded: https://lnk.to/GBRUnlocked/waterstones 💻 NordVPN - To get 4 extra months head to: https://nordvpn.com/goodbadrugby 📊 90% off Xero for 6 months.

Joe Heyes: From Personal Crisis to England's Finest
England's Player of the Season, Joe Heyes, joins the GBR lads for one of the most honest interviews we’ve ever done. Joe talks us through Leicester's opening-weekend defeat to Saracens, before opening up on a much tougher chapter as a teenager, a battle with his mental health and the journey back to become England's best scummager. We also dig into Joe’s passion for history, his family's sporting heritage, his smoked-fish side hustle and where England go after a tough 12 months. ... Jonny May eventually made it in too.
