The Telegraph Podcasts

Hello and welcome to Brian Moore's full contact in association with the Telegraph.

I'm Brian Moore and joining the show today are Saracen's strum half and England's scrum half Richard Wigglesworth and the former Scotland fullback Sean Laman.

Nigel Oeys is here to take us through the slimming down of rugby's laws, plus

George Robson is going to give as a tactical breakdown of how to attack well in rugby.

First, I'm joined here in the studio by the man who was coached the Fiji 7s team to Olympic gold

and two world championships. Ben Ryan. Hello mate. How are you? Yeah, I'm good thanks, Brian

and yeah, I'm looking forward to tonight. It's great. Yeah, well, we're slightly different

show. We're going to have a cursory look at the premiership and then look back at some of the highlights and low lights of 2017 and any

of the burning issues that come up arising out of the program or indeed that we choose to feature.

Big Game 10, 77,000 people there. Remarkable feat, actually, in 10 years to think that you've had a

club,

any club side, not just Quinn's, could regularly draw that amount of people. And I've seen

nearly all of them. And at least half of them have been dire, but yesterday's game was, it was

entertaining, not necessarily in a purest way because there were far too many

loose bits of play. And I suppose I've got a statistic here which I find difficult to believe,

which I'm assured is true that Queens have not won three matches in a row now for three years.

Queens and Northampton, I like us clubs because I think they've developed in the right way.

They've not brought in huge amounts of capital from abroad and taken huge debts on.

They've stayed in their grounds.

They've built incrementally.

They try to have good youth policies.
