After missing the majority of the main pod, Jonny May gives the lads an alternative history lesson. This Episode is not sponsored by the Book of Enoch.

England's Player of the Season, Joe Heyes, joins the GBR lads for one of the most honest interviews we’ve ever done. Joe talks us through Leicester's opening-weekend defeat to Saracens, before opening up on a much tougher chapter as a teenager, a battle with his mental health and the journey back to become England's best scummager. We also dig into Joe’s passion for history, his family's sporting heritage, his smoked-fish side hustle and where England go after a tough 12 months. ... Jonny May eventually made it in too.

This episode of the Lock-In available to everyone as the lads pay tribute to Mike's father, the late Philip Tindall, who passed away aged 80 after a long battle with Parkinsons.

New season, same chaos. The wheels are rolling on Season 7 of The Good, The Bad & The Rugby, and we're kicking things off with our wildest preview yet. Payno, Hask and Tins run through everything ahead of a huge year of rugby: the headlines you need to know, the signings that'll shake up the leagues, the fixtures already circled in the calendar, the kits we're loving (and the ones we're not), the coaches we'd love to play for, and a full set of "Massive Punt Predictions" for 2026/27 that we absolutely do not expect to age well.

It's the last show of the season, and what better way to sign off than with a brand new member of Team GBR joining the panel, Courtney Lawes sits down with Tins to break down a chaotic, controversial final weekend of Nations Championship rugby. England scrape past Argentina in one of the most chaotic games we've seen in years, four yellow cards and all. Courtney gives his verdict on whether England were simply "too aggy" against a scrappy Pumas side. We also round up the rest of the weekend: New Zealand's impressive win over Ireland, Scotland's near-miss against Fiji, and a dominant Springboks side that Courtney says are "operating like a religion" under Rassie Erasmus. It's been a mammoth season of GBR — thank you to every single one of you for watching and listening.
