Introduction

Marcus is joined by two very special guests on today's episode. Andy Brassell is here to give us an update on how our continental Lions are getting on and to reassure us that Jude Bellingham is just as good as we want him to be. 

After that, Iwan Roberts gives Marcus an update on England's Group B rivals Wales and explains why England shouldn't write off Gareth Bale just yet. And just when you thought the excitement couldn't get any more spicy, we get our first Carolina Reaper on the Take Thermometer! Phew!
