19. Danny Care: Rejecting Eddie Jones & playing with Jamie Vardy

Danny Care won over 100 caps for England and spent 19 years wearing the number 9 shirt for Harlequins.

Now two years into retirement, Danny joins Bill Beaumont and Ian Botham this week to discuss how he turned to rugby after being released from Sheffield Wednesday alongside Jamie Vardy.

He also reveals how his relationship with Eddie Jones got off to a bad start years before he got the England job, why Jones high standards were unsustainable at international level, his friendship with Joe Marler and why Owen Farrell is destined for greatness in coaching.
