Episode Notes
Bill and Beefy are back for the first time in 2026 and they're joined by a bonafide modern day England rugby union legend.
With over 100 caps and counting, the oval ball is in the blood in the Ford family.
George reveals what it was like growing up surrounded by sport, his close friendship with Owen Farrell and the media narrative around their supposed rivalry.
Plus the fly-half debates the Rugby 360 plans with Ian making a case for it strengthening the sport and his views on the upcoming Six Nations and his future with the England squad.
AND Ian reveals how he played cricket on a rugby pitch while also making his panto debut!
