Hello Dream Team, welcome along to Allian Stadium where let's face it, it has been a fairly frustrating week or so.

Where is this England team? What are the options and how do they bounce back?

As always, it's a massive thanks to Continental Tires who are proud sponsors of not only the good the band the rugby but England Rugby as well.

Continental Tires sponsor the Continental Tires Schools Cup driving the next generation.

Let's get on with the show.

Alex Payne trying to keep the site going forward. Haskell takes it on now with just relentless chat.

And there's Tyndall to add the finishing touch of glamour and World Cup winning stories.

A dominant display by the good, the bad and the rugby.

So later in the show, we are going to hear from Jamie George, Jack Van Portfleet and

Emmanuel Yogan. But our first guest is none other than Connor O'Shea, who oversees the

strategic direction of professional rugby in England, focusing on player development pathways

and creating structures that help players reach their full potential.

He played for Ireland, coach Quinn's Supreme Title on the pitch behind us and was head coach of Italy from 2016 to 2019,

was the architect of the second most embarrassing moment of my career.

I want to know what the first one is.

Well, when I ran to a post against Wales on a hit and span.

I get that reminder that, I would say at least once a week.

Very nice of you to join us. Thank you so. This weekend, obviously, is almost the Conoroshae Derby, isn't it? Obviously, with the role that you have now against the role that you used to have in Italy. Just pretty cool. How often does Rutgate crop up in your after-dinner repertoire?

Well, if I did after-dinner, a lot. It's incredible isn't it how one moment can literally just stick the whole time so many people

looking back and actually you join it retrospectively as opposed to the kind of the emotion that was

there in the day but it was uh i have to say i love that day apart from the

fact that on 50th minute when i saw danny care going to tap and go on a penalty i knew he's going to take it quickly i was in my seat shouting please don't let him go taps go scores game done i don't know this has to know this but uh you i think you i think we've talked about this before. I wanted people in the television.
