Press to jump

9:23Jones and May revisit England's strong start under Jones and their 2019 World Cup final defeat.
14:30Jones compares English and South African rugby culture while considering whether Rassie Erasmus could coach England.
16:32May's raw speed and relentless practice stand out in Jones's memories of first coaching him.
24:41Jones explains the value of Neil Craig as an experienced confidant and second set of eyes.
35:55Jones identifies accepting Australia's coaching job eight months before the World Cup as his biggest mistake.

Jonny May has a simple explanation for the reunion's warmth: "When Eddie walks through the door it brings a smile to my face, like it's great to see Eddie." With James Haskell hosting, England memories give The Good, The Bad & The Rugby's busiest new upload its shape.

"Eddie Jones on Rassie, Ruckgate and England's Biggest Mistake!" reached roughly 48,000 views within its opening sixteen hours. Jones remembers May's raw speed and relentless practice, while the pair revisit England's rise and the painful World Cup final defeat in 2019. The conversation also turns to Rassie Erasmus and the differences between English and South African rugby culture.

The sharpest admission concerns what followed England. Jones says accepting Australia's coaching job so close to a World Cup was a mistake because he was still thinking about England. There is lighter material too, including May's unexpected invitation from the North Korean embassy. Viewers repeatedly pick out Jones's laughter, with several pointing fellow listeners towards the hotel-room story. The episode includes sponsored segments and advertising.

Across twelve uploads, the week also brought "Ultimate tour story? 😂" and "Certified baller 🏀", both among the channel's strongest sources of viewing momentum alongside the Jones interview. The latter is a sponsored clip.

Subscribers held steady, while daily views are a little below their usual level. Among nearby sports channels, Danila Leykin had a particularly large viewing week; Sky Sports Darts and Kerrod Gray Golf are running more quietly than usual. For GBR, the distinctive draw is this reunion: a former coach and his players remembering both the preparation and the chaos.
