Both represented the British & Irish Lions, both are now coaching but, inbetween were involved in some of Wales’s greatest days. This show reveals what made them such a formidable pair.
Season 4 is sponsored by Continental Tyres.

Without a doubt, they are two of the very best in the game, both technically and emotionally. Completely dedicated and as hard as nails.
A long time ago, I was in the check-in queue at Edinburgh airport and FlyBe were trying to sting me for going a kilo overweight on my hold bag. Behind me was Adam Jones in his prime. Ospreys had played Edinburgh a few days prior. I turned around to see one of my favourite rugby players ever, Mr. Jones, in the flesh, and mentioned to the check-in clerk that the man stood behind me was likely three times my weight. Adam gave a quick glance at my 5' 3" frame, 8 stone soaking wet, and uttered, "call it four...", with a broad grin. I did not have to pay for my excess baggage that day. I could have stood inside that man's shadow.
two of our best and most consistent performers in arguably the toughest positions, great tandem. Miss them heaps in Wales
Melon's little bro brought the water bottles on at Sardis. Nickname => Watermelon
Its amazing how amazed Haskell is to learn about young kids working in mcdonalds .....
Played with Melon for Cardiff Demons Rugby League when we were 17/18 years old. Best tackler ever. We played Hunslet RLFC and he picked up their prop and ran with him for 40 yard before smashing him into the ground. Had some great weekends way trips up to the north of England with him. Total legend !!!!
Class that was. Need to get Richard Hibbard.
2009 Lions tour. I was swimming off Port Elizabeth and I came out of the water pretty much alongside Adam Jones. I kid you not, he had serious abs. It truly shocked me.
What a pair of absolute legends. And christ they could play. Love this series, well done GBR.
A fantastic episode. 2 absolute legends.
One of the best episodes yet . Fantastic listening
The story about Jones getting kneed by an old head prop reminds me of my colts games. Playing for lydney, we were the only English team to play in the Welsh colts league. Season before I went up we won the league, so that first season of colts rugby was hell in the valleys. Travelling to deepest darkest Wales and just knowing you were getting a pasting from cheap shots. As a second row had to get used to sending some up through in a scrum 🤣 always good craic with the Welsh lads after though
Great watch, 2 legends of the game..
Spot on that. Genuine legends
Really enjoyed the podcast especially being from the same village as gethin
Loving the partnerships … what about Ackford & Dooley? Great shows 👍🏻👍🏻
Nonu and Smith have to be on. Greatest ever centre partnership, pairing one of the most intelligent players ever with one of the most destructive players ever. Match made in heaven.
The Greatest Unions series are some of the best podcasts GBR have done!!! 👍🏻
Not often i squirm at a riding video. Not even the crash at darkfest made me wince, but that, that had me in buts watching
Enjoyed that I did ,thanks guys

I had twins in 2011, I had the names ready, Adam & Gethin. Then they spoilt the party by coming out girls 😭😭
The prop union is the best union.
Bakkies Botha and Victor Matfield next please
Brilliant pode.
Future guests....Jason Leonard, Brian Moore Jeff Probyn : Mick 2The munch" Skinner and Peter Winterbottom
ROG and Stringer
When will Haskell realise its not about him
A very ADHD response to stories is to identify with a story of your own. It's not meant to make it a out you but to show tje teller they are listening and get it by recounting a similar experience.
I thought Hask was quiet. Just listening to two interesting and amusing characters.
Nonu + Smith, Matfield + Botha, Kamakaze Kids!
FRU!!!! 🙌
I never thought I’d say this as a fullback , but let’s get a an all prop episode Marler these two other jones Leonard victor Obogu
Which Rugby's Greatest Unions would you love to hear from next? 🤔
The Gray brothers would shed a lot of light on the highs and lows of Scotland.
Back, Hill and Dallalio.
@@philwilson8258 yeah ignore my request, this is the one
Bakkies Matfield
O'Driscill and D'Arcy, Horan and Little, Farr-Jones and Lynagh
anybody disappointed this wasn't Adam and Duncan Jones?
Gethin is my dream man. He’s soooo hot 😍😍😍😍😍 x
Nanu and Smith
Absolutely fantastic but do we have to have Haskell spoil it?
jeez haskell has to slip in a coke reference every episode, no wonder he talks about himself so much
Rugby needs investment. Very few profitable clubs and even those in the green are not generating much. I think it’s a good idea. You would have 8 teams with the best players. The other leagues would remain the same with development players who can be drafted in. No relegation and this leagues funds the others. No impact on the international game, players play less matches. The money must flow down to the grass roots.
See you at tottingham at the final
Manchester Rovers no?
Will Haskell just shut up and let them speak.
2 points:
1) Something needs to happen in the sport to make it financially sustainable and it’s only common sense to look at what is happening elsewhere in the sports world with the investment from Saudi Arabia- doesn’t make it right but a good conversation starter
2) Old theme I know but it doesn’t help that Rugby is split into Union and League, the support is often split between the 2
Jenkins definitely isn’t a listener 😂
Do we have to endure Haskell's vile language?
Came on to hear what Adam and Gethin have to say and someone keeps taking over and interrupting and adding their stories in.
Let the guests speak 🤬🤬
