  • Jodie Ounsley: Rugby vs Gladiators – What’s Tougher? | Stick to Rugby EP 4
    Feb 19 2025

    The latest episode of Stick to Rugby, brought to you by Defender, sees Jodie Ounsley join David Flatman, Lawrence Dallaglio, Katy Daley-McLean, and Tom Shanklin for an inspiring and hilarious conversation about her unique journey—from rugby to Gladiators and everything in between.


    Jodie opens up about growing up deaf, the challenges she faced in rugby, and how she turned her biggest obstacle into her greatest strength. She shares the moment she didn’t hear the whistle and got sent off, the reality of playing top-level sport with a cochlear implant, and why she’s taking a break from rugby.


    The team also dives into her rise as ‘Fury’ on Gladiators—what it’s really like behind the scenes, how she switches from being shy to fierce, and the brutal 11-day filming schedule that left her body battered. Plus, she reveals the weirdest fan request she’s ever had!


    Beyond sport, Jodie discusses representation, being a role model, and her new children’s book, Keep Smashing It, designed to inspire the next generation to embrace challenges head-on.


    With plenty of laughs, big topics, and some wild stories (including a World Coal Carrying Championship?), this episode is not to be missed!

  • Eddie Jones: Coaching the Lions? England Regrets & What He’d Do Differently | Stick to Rugby EP 3
    Feb 12 2025

    The latest episode of Stick to Rugby, brought to you by Defender, sees Eddie Jones join David Flatman, Lawrence Dallaglio, Katy Daley-McLean, and Tom Shanklin for a brutally honest chat about his coaching career, England exit, and what he’d do differently.


    Eddie opens up about his time as England head coach, reflecting on the highs and lows, why the team’s playing style became so unpopular, and how they lost their identity. He reveals what really happened in the 2019 World Cup final, whether he should have started Joe Marler, and why England were booed for their kicking game.


    The debate heats up as Eddie discusses the British & Irish Lions job—was he ever really interested? He also breaks down his relationship with Steve Borthwick, what advice he’d give him now, and why he believes the England job is the toughest in rugby.


    Beyond England, Eddie reflects on his Japan dream job, the influence of Bob Dwyer, and the key coaching lessons he’s learned. He lifts the lid on England’s leadership over the years, including the dynamic between Dylan Hartley and Owen Farrell, and shares his take on the future of international rugby.


    A no-filter Eddie Jones interview you won’t want to miss.

  • England Run Out Of Gas & Shaun Edwards Untold Stories | Stick to Rugby EP 2
    Feb 5 2025

    The latest episode of Stick to Rugby, brought to you by Defender, dives straight into the chaos of the Six Nations opening weekend.


    David Flatman, Lawrence Dallaglio, Katy Daley-Mclean, and Tom Shanklin break down England’s loss against Ireland—did Borthwick’s side run out of gas, or is there more to it? Meanwhile, France made a statement against Wales, but did they even get out of second gear? And Scotland impressed, but do they have the squad depth to go all the way?


    Flats leads the debate on England’s struggles, pinpointing the key moments that cost them, while Dallaglio weighs in on whether Ireland have the best rugby intelligence in the tournament. The panel also picks their Team of the Week, spotlighting the standout performers from Round 1.


    Beyond the pitch, the panel shares some brilliant behind-the-scenes stories, including Six Nations debut initiations, life on the team bus, and the best (and worst) pre-game superstitions. Shaun Edwards’ name pops up as well—was he the most intense coach ever? Flats and Shanks share what it was really like playing under him.


    With Round 2 looming, the crew makes their predictions—can England bounce back against France? Is Wales in real trouble against Italy? And could Scotland vs Ireland decide the championship?
