Your starting line doesn't have to define you. My upbringing wasn't great. But I remember thinking - I have to, and I CAN - break the cycle. That single thought changed my life. At 17, I dropped out of school. At 18, I became a father for the first time, and left the violence and chaos of my family council house without a penny to my name, determined to rewrite my story. By 30, I was a successful PR agency owner with a #1 best-selling book. We were working with some of the UK’s leading brand ...

Jess and Jacob are back in a vain attempt to offer themselves, fans and the women’s team therapy and catharsis to go over just how a famous win against a quality Trailfinders side slipped from our grasp.

Mike and Elliott enjoy another unnecessarily tense victory, but also savour the rare taste of a win at Saracens', which comes of a side of sitting pretty second in the league. We also look ahead to seeing some emerging talent take centre stage in the Premiership Cup and drop in a new, very basic feature for sh*ts and giggles.…

It was an inspiring and emotional weekend with the Slater Cup, where Leicester pulled off a thrilling comeback, beating Gloucester 29-26, thanks to a halftime spray from Cheika. The big news of the week, though, is Newcastle breaking their 25-match losing streak with a 24-18 win over Exeter, can Steve Diamond keep the momentum? We’re joined by Bath…

In this week's episode we re-live the agonising defeat against Sarries, who are now well established as our Ashton Gate bogey team. We were much the better side but just couldn't put the game to bed when in front and on top.

It’s been a weekend of massive rivalries, with Leinster taking on Munster in front of a sell-out crowd in Croke Park, Quins taking on Sarries, Saints playing Leicester and few other big grudge matches.

This week the boys break down yet another away win for the Bears down at Sandy Park.

We can bearly contain ourselves this week as the Boys went to the Rec on Saturday as underdogs but left it with a wholehearted Blackbird ringing in their ears.

There was a genuine if not tempered sense of optimism ahead of Gloucester's first league game of the season.
