Brian Moore's Full Contact: 'Is it possible that after all Saracens have achieved, they're just flat?'

Telegraph Sport

Brian Moore is joined in the studio this week by the former England and Saracens flanker, Maggie Alphonsi.

With them to discuss the weekend's action are the Exeter fly-half, Gareth Steenson and former USA captain, Dan Lyle.

Referee Nigel Owens is back to discuss the issues around managing the ruck, Scotland's Technical Director, Stephen Gemmell discusses the proposed 'Super Six' league, plus Wasps ladies fullback Danielle Waterman updates the podcast on how the Premier 15s is going.

Here are some of the highlights

Is it possible that after all Saracens have achieved, they're just flat.

The women's game in this country (England) is the best resourced in the world. How can the women's game tackle inequality with other unions doing it piecemeal?

Homophobia, racial abuse, whether it's meant or not puts our game into a bad light.

It's brilliant what Australia have done, equal pay for men and women.

I liked rucking as a player but as a spectator it doesn't make our game look good.

Maggie Alphonsi

You put a lot of emotional energy week-in-week-out and then you have to get yourself up for Europe and that's something we've not got right in the past.

We talk about having fast starts and having a pace in the game.

When we came up from to the Premiership we realised we were a ten-man team and that needed to change.

We've known about Sam (Simmonds) for a while, but this was just the season for him to break out.
