Summary

Former England rugby player Ugo Monye, GB sprinter Nethaneel Mitchell-Blake, football broadcaster Mina Rzouki and comedian Jacob Hawley join Rick Edwards for an hour of sporting punditry, humour and entertainment. Points are awarded for informed comment, wit and passion, but taken away for nonsense and answers lacking in conviction. In the final round, the top two points scorers go head-to-head in 'Defend the Indefensible' where they must both defend a statement however ludicrous or distasteful for twenty seconds. There can only be one winner!

He's a captain on a question of sport, but not the good one.

You go migney!

You, you must do that though.

1:02.0

Someone for a question of sport?

1:04.0

Oh, no, not the... No, that's Sam.

1:07.0

The other one.

1:08.0

I do like Sam, though, sounds good.

1:11.0

You must be relieved that the Rugby World Cup is over so we can stop

going to miss it in a week but it's been a slog. It's been absolutely brilliant but

I'm happy just to be back.
