Who is the Michael Jordan of the Leicester Tigers Last Dance season? Ben Youngs and Dan Cole give the inside story on an emotional day at Welford Road as they got to run on with their kids (and not George Martin), before a standing ovation as they walked off together after 43 minutes. Only to secure another home game next week in the semi-finals.ย

Sadly I couldn't make it to the falcons game, living in Swansea. But I remember both of your debuts so well and seeing you walk off on Saturday got me incredibly choked up. One of the best players to put on a tigers shirt! Both Tigers, England and Lions legends! Thank you both! <3
Go well guys. Thanks for the memories and all the high times, the hard times and the edge of your seat times. All the best to you both and your families for brilliant future.
End of an era. Feeling sad โฆโฆโฆ.
Great to hear Peter Wheeler is still doing well. He was another great England & Lions hooker.
True Tigers,legends of the modern game.Pls beat Sale ๐
Great sponsorship op.Cole sun screen๐
Legends of the game, only love from ๐ฟ๐ฆ๐ฟ๐ฆ๐ฟ๐ฆ
What a great day it was on Saturday. Was emotional just in the stands watching so how you guys coped with it Iโll never know!
I always quite liked not liking England's sports teams, if nothing else it gave you something to do while not winning, and made some wins extra special (1990!). But then I started watching cricket in 2005, and how could you not like Hoggy and Flintoff and co. But that was just cricket and kind of includes Scotland and we don't really play anyway so it's fine. And then Southgate was quite a nice bloke, and Saka's impossible not to like, and they tried hard and didn't quite win. If I'm honest I always liked Rooney…. but I still had the rugby team, and we even started beating them… but now this podcast has taken even that from me… ffs lads
Legends … 2 more games!
Richard III was an absolute wanker. And not a son of Leicester. He's worth less than a sod of earth churned up by a front row. Dan is a million times better son of Leicester. Ben is a pretty solid adopted son. ๐
Brilliant guys – all youโve done for England and Leicester – lots of joy watched from afar in Australia by a Midlands expat (since 1981๐) – still England & Leicester
The atmosphere Saturday was incredible. Huge roar as your names were read out for the starting 15, standing ovation coming on and off the pitch. Amazing careers, fingers crossed for 2 more wins and then end your careers with another premiership title. Thanks for the memories ๐๐ผ
Congratulations on your careers at Tigers, England, and the Lions. Guessing you wonโt miss pre season but it will be missed the first match of next season, then hopefully feel fulfilled at a great career is now done!
Shame about what's been allowed to happen to the city of Leicester mind.
I played football over Richard III, same car park of the prep school bit.
Amazing careers from you both! Love the podcast, it's a great insight into the game. The Dan Cole fan club are amazing!
Beaminster in Dorset to Welford Road ๐
Hope Tigers win the title and these two get the send off they deserve!!
If they left the pitch separately, who would have got the bigger send off ๐

Northampton fan who would (not so) secretly be delighted to see you two and Browny finish off with a title
