Description

Rachel Casey is joined by former champion Joe Johnson and Eurosport commentator Philip Studd to chat about the big results and key stories from the World Snooker Championship.

She also gets reflections from Crucible debutants Elliot Slessor and Jordan Brown and hears their takes on the beef between Jamie Clarke and Anthony McGill.

The trio discuss whether Judd Trump is playing well enough to break the Crucible Curse and we wallow in 1986 as Joe takes us back to when he ruled the world, with tales of an abscess, a princess, He-Man and the secret to not being intimidated by Steve Davis....
