Scrums and Scrumpy

Miscellaneous


The lads bid an emotional farewell to the booth and one of our ever-present members as the full gang's time in Sheffield comes to an end. Christy doesn't want to talk about cricket! Jack is still very sad! Tom makes up a terrible England chant! Part 1: It's the last ever Scrums and Scrumpy (with Christy in the booth) and we wrap up the long English domestic season by analysing a terrific Saracens vs Exeter final, narrowly won by the north London outfit. We talk a game of two halves for MOTM Maro Itoje, Jack Nowell’s brilliant performance and all the big moments from Saturday’s game. We then discuss England’s inexperienced team beating Barbarians in a classic testimonial match. We talk who might have earned a way to Japan, and how the Barbarians are flourishing more than ever. Part 2: S&S pick their 31-man England World Cup squad to travel to Japan. We choose our (not Eddie’s) picks for the tournament, including dicey discussion over Anythony Watson and Danny Care from Jack and Christy… HUGE SCOOPS involves a development in the Israel Folau story, all the news from the U20s World Championship and comments made by Sarries owner Nigel Wray calling critics of his team “jealous”.   Part 3: The Hall of Fame picks their best performances in a losing side in honour of Jack Nowell. We then take a variety of questions while Tom and Jack are distracted by the cricket, with enlightened discussion over which players were choirboys, and who in world rugby doesn't wash their legs.
