Ahead of the Pitch Up for Rugby weekend on 12th and 13th September, The Eddie Jones Coaching Podcast spoke to World Cup winners Michael Lynagh and John Gallagher about their first rugby memories.

Ex-Australia international Lynagh talks about he got into rugby back in Australia and how rugby culture differs from his time in Italy and England, while former All Black Gallagher recalls how he went from playing in south east London to winning the inaugural World Cup in 1987, as well as his experiences at local clubs before that. Eddie also talks about his first recollections when entering a club while recounting watching both Lynagh and Gallagher play internationals from his playing days, with RFU director of performance Conor O'Shea adds his memories too.
