Summary

We're back for series 2 and we're kicking it off with Wales and Lions legend Tom Shanklin and I must warn you, albeit we're 174 Eps in, I don't know if we've ever had a funnier guest with better stories than this one! Tom takes us through his incredible career from; Clive Woodward begging him to come and play for England, to him doing the greatest prank of all time on David Flatman when they were living together in London, to revealing the brutal initiation of 'Russian Poolette', the story of when he shat himself doing fitness training, how unprofessional Wales' first trip to Japan was, the day when him and his teammates visited the Red Light District in Australia during the 2003 world cup, why Gareth Thomas delivered the worst captains speech of all time in 2007, Lee Brynes dyslexia, Warren Gatland's roasting of Tom during his 50th cap, why the 2005 lions tour was such a disaster and so much more.....
