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.
