Simon Middleton on his final game in charge of the Red Roses and the role he’s taking next

Fresh from winning the Grand Slam with the Red Roses, Simon Middleton joins Lawrence Dallaglio, Sarra Elgan and the Evening Standard’s Steve Cording, as he reflects on what prompted his decision to step down as Head Coach, why Saturday’s world-record breaking game at Twickenham is his best rugby moment and how a wrong turn out of the team’s hotel before the game proved a blessing in disguise. He also reveals what role he’s planning on taking next and his hopes for the future of the game. Lawrence, Sarra and Steve review the weekend’s semi-final wins for Leinster and La Rochelle, who will now come face-to-face in a repeat of last year’s European Champions Cup Final. They also select their ‘Player of the Week’ and look ahead to the last round of Premiership action coming up this weekend. Plus, Simon Middleton gets ‘Tackled’ by Lawrence’s quickfire questions, telling us which two actors he thinks would be best placed to play him in a film, and which song he sang on the team coach after Saturday’s Six Nations victory.
