The Good, The Bad & The Rugby Podcast

The world’s favourite rugby podcasters hit the road for the first time

After the skyrocketing popularity of their no-holds-barred podcast, for the very first time James Haskell, Mike Tindall and Alex Payne will be bringing The Good, The Bad & The Rugby to audiences all around the UK in spring 2022.

Born in the summer of 2020 when esteemed sports broadcaster Alex Payne (The Good) scrummed together with England legends and household names James Haskell (The Bad) and Mike Tindall (The Rugby) to chew the fat on all things rugby, the show debuted at No.1 in the Apple podcast charts, and now with more than 3 million listeners (plus 20 million viewers online) is one of the most popular sports podcasts in the UK.

As well as bringing their own unrivalled insight into the great game, each week Payno, Hask and Tinds glean unheard anecdotes and opinions out of high-profile guests, including Eddie Jones, Sir Kevin Sinfield and Ma’a Nonu, as they tackle the talking points that go beyond mere match analysis and get straight to the heart of what every fan really wants to know, from Jason Leonard’s antics in New Zealand on the 1993 Lions tour to the future stars of English rugby.

But what ultimately brings this show to life is the trio’s endearing dynamic, built on banter, friendship and straight-talking, that makes you feel like you’re a part of the conversation. Now you can be, as the lads bring their show to stages all around the UK for the first time. Expect a lot of laughs, tears and of course some special guests.
