Mike said: “Since launching The Good, The Bad And The Rugby podcast, we’ve all become even closer, through the stories we’ve shared ourselves and the stories our guests have shared.

“Now we can’t wait to get on the road, with more tales from our rugby lives, and to meet our listeners – and maybe hear a few stories from them.”

Episodes have featured glimpses into each of their lives – earlier this year Mike announced his son’s dramatic birth on the bathroom floor - plus guest appearances from some of the rugby world’s biggest stars.

James added: “We have so much fun creating each episode of The Good, The Bad And The Rugby, getting stuck into a whole range of topics for 90 minutes. Mike and I have enjoyed touring life with England – and now we’ve got our own tour… It’s going to be great!”

The show will feature rugby chat as well as wider sporting and pop culture talking points. Much of the show’s success has been in its core appeal to rugby fans while also engaging a wider audience.
