EXCLUSIVE - Henry Pollock 'mania' is here: Meet the new Lion making rugby cool again

By Global

Gabby & Mark are joined in studio by rugby's next big thing - Henry Pollock - just 20 years old, played one rugby match for England, scored 2 tries in 31 minutes, and now he's a British & Irish Lion!  

The try celebrations, trademark headband and the game to back it up - can he make rugby cool again?

Will he be able to make an instant impact with the Lions? What's it like being the new face of rugby? And what trick have his parents devised for the Lions mascot?

Plus, did Nottingham Forest owner Evangelos Marinakis go too far when he stormed the pitch after the game on Sunday? Does Virat Kohli's retirement signal the end of an era for cricket? And who's got the nicer digs at a world-class stables - the jockeys or the horses?
