Inside England Camp: Can They Bounce Back In Rome?

After a tough set of runs for England, Alex and Hask head to Allianz to speak with those at the heart of the storm. First-up, the lads sit down with Conor O’Shea, Director of Performance Rugby at England Rugby, to hear about how England are dealing with the pressure approaching Rome. Conor gives his verdict on both England and Italy and speaks passionately about developing pathways through the Continental Tyres Schools Cup. In the second half, Jamie George, Jack van Poortvliet and Manny Iyogun share the mood inside camp and what it means to wear the England shirt, from their earliest memories of the game, to blocking out the noise and finding a fresh energy. 00:00 🛞 Proudly Sponsored by Continental Tyres 01:15 🇮🇹 Conor’s Italy Years 08:38 🏉 Englands Scrutiny And Bounceback 14:18 📈 RFU Progress 18:36 🔄 Rebuilding Pathways 29:18 🔍 Talent ID 34:57 🏁 Continental Tyres Grip Challenge 36:57 🌡️ England Camp Temperature Check 40:11 🍀Why Ireland Went Wrong 42:17 💥 Bench Impact and Non 23 44:25 🤣Session Terrorists 50:47 🤝 Team Culture 📗The Good, The Bad & The Rugby: Unloaded are now available: Welcome to The Good, The Bad & The Rugby with journalist and former broadcaster Alex Payne, England and Lions flanker James Haskell, and World Cup Winner Mike Tindall.
