Intro

What happens when a World Cup dream comes crashing down around you?

In the very first episode of Captains, Sam Warburton is joined by former England rugby union captain Chris Robshaw to reflect on the difficult period that followed England's shock exit from the 2015 Rugby World Cup and the important lessons that enabled Chris to return to the highest level.

They relive the titanic battles between Wales and England on the pitch and discuss dealing with the pressure and criticism that comes your way when you wear the armband.

In life, we often learn more from the lows than we do from the highs and Chris's story is one of resilience.
