Irish rugby legend Tadhg Furlong joins Dave Kilcoyne and Luke Delaney in the latest episode of What The Ruck. In one of his most candid interviews to date, Tadhg opens up about the highs and lows of the professional game and the personal journey that shaped the man behind the scrum.

• The Ireland Camp: The current feeling within the group and where they stand in the World Cup cycle.
• Coaching Legends: Honest insights into working under Joe Schmidt and Andy Farrell.
• The Lions Legacy: Can Tadhg join the elite group of players to go on four tours?
• Personal Roots: Growing up in Wexford and the unbreakable bond with his late father.

In the latest edition of our Six Nations Special on What The Ruck, Luke and Dave pick up Wales and British & Irish Lions legend Alex Cuthbert for an unfiltered deep dive into the state of the game.

After a dramatic fall-off in Welsh international form, Alex pulls no punches on what is happening behind the scenes, the issues within the WRU, and what it will take for the red jersey to find its pride again.

But it’s not all serious—the boys have a laugh about the fierce battles between Alex and Dave on the pitch, and Alex shares some incredible (and chaotic) stories about his time with the Irish contingent on the Lions tour. From his "meteoric" rise from university rugby to scoring tries in a Lions Test, this is the full story of one of Wales' most electric wingers.
