Elliot Daly: Joker in the Wolf Pack
6/2/20261 hr 17 min
Saracens, England and Lions legend Elliot Daly joins the boys for a wide-ranging conversation that's as entertaining off the field as he is on it. From his infamous first day at Wasps in full school uniform (briefcase very much denied), to three Lions tours, a siege-gun boot, and mentoring the next generation of English talent, Daly proves he's as sharp in the studio as he is at fullback. The lads also look ahead to a crunch Premiership clash with Exeter, dissect Mark McCall's coaching genius, and assess whether England's talented young squad can peak at the 2027 World Cup. 00:00 🛞 Season 6 Powered by Continental Tyres 00:46 🏏 Cricket Chat 05:07 💼 Briefcase Banter 07:17 🐝 First Day as a Wasp 15:20 🌍 Barbarians Tour Chaos 19:55 🩺 Surgery, Rehab & Recovery Timeline 22:36 🎙️ Mark McCall: Lessons from the Top 35:42 🧠 Eddie Jones’ Best Advice 41:47 ⭐ Noah Caluori 48:39 🏟️ Exeter Away 52:58 🔀 Position Preferences: 58:59 🦵 The Siege Gun Boot & Monster Kicks 01:03:05 🦁 Lions Tours & Surprise Selection Calls 01:11:00 💪 Grip Strength Challenge Showdown 🥃 Rémy Martin Cocktail Recipes https://www.remymartin.com/en-uk/cocktails/ 🚶♂️Lewis Moody Fundraiser Walk https://lewismndwalk.co.uk 📗 The Good, The Bad & The Rugby: Unloaded: https://lnk.to/GBRUnlocked/waterstones Learn more about your ad choices.
