Summary
Former England international and current Gloucester Hartpury attack coach Matt Banahan joins Teddy Draper, Mark Atkinson and Kathryn Buggy in the Blindside Lounge for a wide-ranging, honest conversation about rugby on and off the pitch.
Matt opens up on the reality of moving from player to coach, the pressure of joining a dominant Gloucester Hartpury side, and why team culture can’t simply be bought. He breaks down the coaching job market, the challenges of progression without an agent, and how COVID shaped an entire generation of coaches and players.
The panel also dive deep into:
- Gloucester’s recent performances, recruitment and squad balance
- Why the spine of a team (8–9–10) matters more than ever
- The growth - and growing pains - of the women’s game
- Six Nations predictions and England’s centre conundrum
- The first Women’s Lions tour and what success should really look like
Plus, Matt reflects candidly on his England career, selection politics, versatility, and why he has no regrets about how it all played out.
