Pitchside with Toby Reynolds - Episode 2

On this episode of Pitchside, Toby is joined by Jonathan Beardmore from the Eggchasers Rugby Podcast to discuss the positives and negatives of the salary cap within English rugby.

Together they look at how the cap has affected teams financially, with many teams going bust recently, whether it has helped the leagues interest and if the English teams can still compete in Europe, as well as looking at how the breach by Saracens affected everything.
