Just a few days on from a brilliant Six Nations, it feels like the sport is at a crossroads...

With potential superstars like Louis Rees-Zammit switching to the NFL, casual fans are alienated by a complex game that fails to celebrate its own physicality amid wider questions relating to how 'safe' the sport actually is to play.

The Sports Agents are joined by a stellar cast of special guests including Louis Rees-Zammit from his Miami training camp, Sam Warburton, Courtney Lawes and Premiership Chief Executive Simon Massie-Taylor, to find out how the sport can navigate the biggest challenges it faces today.
