    Should England boycott Afghanistan & did Tiger's golfing 'science experiment' work?

    Lasers and lava fields don't traditionally scream golf but that's exactly what they've got in the TGL - Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy's $100m science experiment to bring golf to Gen Z. What's going on and will it work? We speak to The Athletic's Golf Reporter Gabby Herzig. And golf's not the only one innovating. Double-Ashes winner Steve Harmison tells us why he's against a new two-tier system in cricket (*cough* Superleague *cough*). And he shares strong views on whether England should boycott their upcoming game against Afghanistan. Plus, we've got a special mystery guest we want you to meet...

    XMAS EVE EXCLUSIVE: Maro Itoje on football vs rugby, England captaincy & becoming a role model

    An exclusive interview with one of the most thoughtful and interesting superstars in sport - Maro Itoje - joins Gabby and Mark in studio as a special Christmas treat from The Sports Agents... The England & Saracens lock reflects on a disappointing Autumn Nations series, praises the culture head coach Steve Borthwick is building and what the England captaincy would mean to him. A keen Arsenal fan, Maro speaks brilliantly about the differences between fan culture in rugby and football and where the two sports can still learn from one another. Plus, Maro opens up about the charitable projects close to his heart, why his interests outside of rugby actually help him stay at the top of his game and on becoming a role model in a sport that lacked diversity when he was growing up.

    Fury's revenge, Rashford's dilemma & how extreme can a run get?

    The fight of the century is back. Last time around, Oleksandr Usyk became the first undisputed heavyweight champion for 25 years, and he's back again for the rematch against Tyson Fury, who'll want to avenge his first professional defeat. Gabby and Mark chat to cruiserweight boxer and former WBO title holder, Chris Billam-Smith, about running with Fury, the pressure of a rematch and how he sees it going (09:25). We react to Marcus Rashford essentially saying he wants to leave Manchester United. Is he right to want to go? And where could he move to? (04:15) Plus, everyone knows someone who took up running in lockdown, right? But how many of them went on to win four 200-250km ultramarathons in the desert, arctic, jungle and mountains like ultra-runner Jon Shield?
