Finn Russell, Mike Brown and a Hollywood A-Lister

Rugby Union Weekly

Available for over a year

For our last pre-season pod, Danny and Chris head into central London to chat to one of the Premiership's biggest stars in Finn Russell. We hear all about his parenting skills after becoming a dad for the second time and how fatherhood has changed him as a player. He also talks Lions selection, life in the Prem and his desire to win a title. They also chat to Mike Brown who claims he's never been interviewed on the pod despite playing 300 games with DC. He reveals what keeps him motivated at 39, gives plenty of insight into Michael Cheika and where it went wrong for Tigers last season. Plus, we hear all about Danny rubbing shoulders with a Hollywood A-lister while at a 40th birthday party in Surrey at the weekend.
