English Rugby's Fight For Survival Explained ft. Will Kelleher

from HG Rugby · host Huw Griffin

I was joined by @thetimessport journalist Will Kelleher to talk about the English PREM Rugby: the off-field and on-field changes that are turning the league into something new, the reasons for those changes and the risks they bring along the way. We use highlights and analysis to bring the Gallagher PREM 2025/26 into the spotlight and ask what will happen next.#england #rugby #PREM #englishrugby #podcast #debate #sale #harlequins #northampton Follow me on twitter: https://x.com/HuwGriffinRugby Follow Will on twitter: https://x.com/willgkelleher Chapters 0:00 Will Kelleher's Journalism Origins 1:30 Northampton Saints Buck The Trend 7:05 Sale & Harlequins Collapse 15:50 Crazy Scorelines 20:15 PREM Hurting England? 25:50 Change Is Needed 29:40 Thoughts On Newcastle RedBulls 34:00 The Soul Of The League? 42:10 The South African Problem 46:45 Ellie Kildunne Thoughts 49:30 Women's Rugby Question 56:05 Steve Borthwick Safe?
