A career that's never been short of entertainment both on or off the pitch - whether it be his 7 yellow cards in international rugby, his 4 world cup campaigns, his 2 month stay in hospital where he nearly died, his battles with the likes of Richie McCaw and George Smith, his hatred for Nic White, his thoughts on Johny Sexton being the biggest whiner in world rugby, going out for beers with Eddie Jones every day after training, his amazingly loose memories of Saracens famous away mid-season piss ups, that infamous eye gouging incident against the Lions, his thoughts on the Springboks involvement in the Six Nations, and a lot more....Plus we hear from Burnsy and Ryan on their insights behind the scenes at Leicester and Glasgow along with their takes on the biggest stories in the Prem and URC.
