Dan Cole

I'm sorry to interrupt your broadcasting.

This is Dan Cole from the future.

I have been told that I have got to edit part of Freddie Stu's interview, um, about his holiday in Brazil.

He went away with several England players, and they had a fun time.

Montoya

... obviously Dan Cole, uh, Ben Youngs is gone.

Montoya.

Yeah.

Coley, are you all right?

In his final ever rugby match, a yellow card for Dan Cole.

Come on, mate.

I know it's hard for you, coming back here where our careers ended, but it'll be all right, I promise.

With us, him taking me out.

With us, yeah.

In loving memory of Dan Cole.

Yeah.

And it was me...

I hosted it, but we had Genji, Joe Marler, and Dan Cole, and proper good, mate.

Yeah.

Like, proper good.

The, the...

I'm not gonna retell gags or anything, but obviously Joe is flying and having a great time, and people are very keen to see Joe, and he's, he's, you know, a very entertaining bloke, and he's lovely, and Genji's sort of the same.

Um, but even though he's got a pod and he's got 100-odd caps, I don't think people know how funny Dan Cole is.

Yeah.

You have your debut as an All Black, and then you have your debut if you play against South Africa.

So Dan Cole, Dane Coles talking about this on a pod this week, just saying, "That's, that's the pinnacle." You know? So I think you could see it on their faces too.

You could see how excited they were and, uh, and you know, a word for that, how cool is it to see the All Blacks in full flight? I mean, scary as hell, but it's magical.

It really is wonderful to see their catch pass skills at full flight, you know, every ball in front of the guy perfectly.

Who could it possibly be? It's Boris Stankovic.

But like, yeah, with Ben Jungs and Dan Cole a few days ago, where they were reminiscing and trying to remember the Ospreys team from that season and reminding them of Andrew Bishop and the both being like, oh man, Andrew Bishop, what a player, good player he was.

But both of them were reminiscing about this kit and kind of saying like how much they liked this as a kit for an opposition team.

um it was universally liked as you say and like a lot of people kind of our age and kind of just a bit either side are when they think of the ospreys this is coming straight to mind

But then a third kit, which is purple, I'll say, was pretty much remorselessly mocked by everybody, including Leicester fans on social media.

You had fans and pundits chiming in, people like Ben Youngs and Dan Cole on their podcast openly criticising it.

Tom, we don't normally talk about this sort of stuff, actually, because it's a commercial product.

So I'm always a bit wary talking about it on the BBC, but it has been sort of the story of the month.
