## Resource

This week on the HG Rugby Podcast I was joined by rugby transfer expert and journalist Neil Fissler of RugbyPass. He told me his journey in rugby, how he finds transfer stories, what is really happening with Andy Farrell in Ireland and his thoughts on Steve Borthwick's England. We even get an insight into the threat posed by R360.
