About this episode
England have named their squad ahead of the 2025 6 Nations and Maro Itoje is the new captain, replacing Jamie George. Alfie, Will and Alex are at Twickenham to react to the squad and the change in captaincy. Plus, they're joined by head coach Steve Borthwick who explains why Itoje is the right man to now lead the team, whether the Premiership prepares English players for test matches and how good this young side can be in the years to come.
