About this episode
This week Owen Slot welcomes The Sunday Times's Stephen Jones, columnist Stuart Barnes, and founder of the Rugby Players' Association Damian Hopley. The panel discuss mental health in the game, showcasing the new 'lift the weight' initiative, as well as covering depression during and after a professional career. On the pitch there's a review of the Premiership action, plenty of forthright opinions on players sticking to their country in the light of Denny Solomona's form, they finish with 6 nations predictions. And there's a tribute to Dan Vickerman, who died this week.
