Lawrence returns from his Cycle Slam and, along with Steve Cording, chats to this week’s special guest, Tommy Freeman.

Tommy shares his views on last weekend's Big Summer Kick Off game against Quins, his preferred position on the field, Northampton's hopes for the upcoming Investec Champions Cup semi final against Leinster and even shows off his card trick skills with the pod’s first ever magic performance!

Marlie Packer also joins Lawrence and Steve to reflect on the Red Roses Grand Slam win against France, as she highlights the top England players from across the tournament and in 'Grow the Game with QBE Business Insurance', she tells us what she hopes can change ahead of next year’s Women’s Six Nations to raise the profile of the championship even higher.

Plus the Evening Standard rugby correspondent, Nick Purewal, is on hand to preview the two Champions Cup semi finals this weekend, as the guys discuss the chances of Northampton and Harlequins in their respective away fixtures and what it will take to cause an upset against the home favourites.
