Wednesday, January 29, 2025 • Duration 01:07:02

The first-ever episode of Stick to Rugby, brought to you by Defender, kicks off with an all-star lineup as David Flatman, Lawrence Dallaglio, Katy Daley-McLean, and Tom Shanklin sit down with none other than Martin Johnson.

Flats opens the show with a deep dive into the weekend’s events, including his birthday celebrations and the best and worst gifts he received.

With a Lions Tour year ahead, the pane debate whether 1997 was truly the best tour ever. Martin also reflects on his time as England coach, the challenges of managing player behaviour, and whether his coaching years have left a lasting impact on the national team.
