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

  • Summary

  • 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.
