Summary

It’s a Lions year, and Dan Cole and Ben Youngs have invited two-time captain Martin Johnson into the studio. He talks 1997’s Living With Lions, his regrets over not winning the series in Australia in 2001, and why he still loves rugby as much as he ever did. There are stories from England’s World Cup winning side, plus tips for you to use at any level. It’s the best Martin Johnson interview you’ve heard in ages, even if he and Coley go on a 15 minute tangent about American Football.
