About this episode
talkSPORT presents Bloodgate: 10 Years On
The scandal stained the reputation of Harlequins and the image of Rugby.
We return to April 12 2009 and speak to some of the key individuals involved in the match, the subsequent cover-up and fall-out. This includes Tom Williams - the player at the centre of Bloodgate. In addition, we interview some of the biggest names in the sport including Sir Clive Woodward, Brian O'Driscoll, Michael Cheika, Lawrence Dallaglio and Nigel Owens. We also uncover new evidence and allegations that point towards widespread cheating practices that go to the very top of Rugby.
Presented by former Times Rugby correspondent Mark Souster.
