Shaun Edwards: The Wigan Wizard
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 18 ต.ค. 2022
- In this week's show, the lads are joined by an absolute bonafide legend in both rugby codes - Shaun Edwards.
He’s amassed 54 medals in his glittering career as well as 36 caps for Great Britain and another 3 for England, he’s a Man-of-Steel winner and captained Wigan in the crushing of Bath in the Cross Codes Clash.
As a head coach he’s won the Premiership and Heineken Cup with Wasps, as the best defensive coach around he’s been on a Lions tour and won 5 Six Nations titles including 4 Grand Slams.
We hear about the game that haunts Shaun the most, if he'd ever like to coach England one day, his karaoke skills and about the time he once used Hask’s head as an actual punch bag!
The boys also have their say on Wasps going into administration and England’s squad for the Autumn Nations Series games.

It’s an absolute no brainier to give Sean Edwards an 8 year contract to be head coach of England.
remember he is a defense coach first, so unless he had correct support staff would he be lost outside his passion!
Very respected man here in Wigan. Even though it’s a rugby code we don’t play, all of the town is immensely proud of him, Farrell (Andy and Owen), Joe Lydon and Chris Ashton. We don’t have much to provide to the world other than pies, uncle Joes mint balls and rugby men. Glad they’re doing so well
I’m still trying to find that bloody pier!
Wigan and St Helen's produced so much for the world to enjoy.. Very impressive towns.. much to be proud of
To be fair - That`s not a bad contribution 👍
You forgot Wigan Casino and Northern Soul.
This guy is one of the few who genuinely deserves the title legend. His ability to answer questions so concisely and honestly is remarkable. So much better than all Eddie’s shenanigans. We need him post RWC.
What a character ! So refreshing to listen to such a down to earth and knowledgable person. We need him post Eddie!
lol like he would give up french lifestyle for england!
Farrell & Edwards - What a prospect for England if the "Old Farts" can get themselves sorted. Best episode for a long time.
Broke my heart on many occasions as Saints RLFC fan. The best support player I’ve seen bar none. If Goodway, Hanley, Betts et Al made a break, 90 times out of 100, it was getting finished off by this man.
No surprise he’s been successful in RU.
England RU…ball’s in your court for his next coaching position. That will also keep him away from Wigan RL. 😂
His ability to read the game was incredible. How many times did you see him set off downfield only to see seconds later Offiah make a break and Shaun to appear on his shoulder.
Absolutely fantastic! Well done to all of you for putting on a great show for the rugby fraternity.
The respect Shaun has in our great game of rugby (whatever code you prefer) is brilliant.
Once again, thank you for a great show.
I'm a long time fan of the show and now I find out that I'm part of the 1%. 😅 An Ex-pat Welshman who runs a Rugby Club in Germany (my calling for the last 15 years) and follows rugby wherever it gets played (even went to the Gallagher Prem final last season) I'm definitely not English 😀 Just love the sport and everything about it....
Brilliant stuff lads. I’m so proud of Shaun coming from league and what he’s achieved in union.
I've been waiting for this one!
Awesome episode Gents. What a legend Monsieur Edwards is.
#TheWiganWizard #GoodBadRugby
Had a lot of respect for Shaun just from what others have said about him, even more now from listening to him for an hour. France are lucky to have him and maybe we'll be able to nab him back here in Angleterre one day.
As a Lifetime Northern Soul Fan, who used to go to Wigan Casino in its latter years, then go watch WiganRL, if they were at home, still wrecked on marching. I watched this man when he were just a lad starting out, knocking lumps out of the Giants of RL.......
Do I love that? Yes Indeed! ;)
How many times did we hear Eddy Waring utter " what's Edwards done now?" ✔️
Remember when I was a young bloke going to pemps night club Shaun was a regular in there , also I spent 74 to76 in mrm’s when I went up to the emp

Well worth waiting for.with a quiet hint for h.q. hope someone was watching at the RFU. GREAT INTERVIEW.good on you guys for getting him on…..thing is top that
What a great interview,keep them coming guys,love these interviews down in NZ👍
Thank you guys for bringing a great show, amazing guests and insights into the fantastic game that is Rugby lovers can only dream of. Keep up the amazing work.
Thanks Barry!
One of the truly great rugby men. England ignore him at their cost. I hope he would take on Scotland some day as a proud Scot.
Hello from France! Love this sort of interview! Excellent work from the lads! We owe Shaun so much.
Him and Gats turned around Welsh rugby. We owe him two world cup semi finals and about 4 six nations. Shaun is an absolute legend in Welsh rugby. Absolute legend. Diolch Shaun!!!!! (actually named my daughter, kind of (we liked the name anyway :P), after his late mother!).
from a french fan , god bless this man ^^
Absolutely amazing, thank you team and Sean.
Amazing interview and what a legend is Shaun Edwards
Watching and listening to this makes you realise why Sean Edwards is a top coach and someone everyone in the game(s) like and admire. As someone commented earlier - the RFU should be knocking on his door 24/7 with an eight year contract to be Head Coach for England.
Best episode ever! Allez Shaun!
The greatest "professional play" I ever saw was just before half-time in the 1992 2nd test in Melbourne. GB were winning, but Australia really ramped it up & camped on our line... 15m out on the last, it was thrown back to Edwards, who was in the in-goal area... he caught the ball & touched it down to concede a dropout! He then rolled it behind the deadball line, the side took their time to get back... They dropped it out, made one tackle & the hooter played... That was Shaun Edwards to a tee... knew every rule, and played to it!
needed this, u all help make grad school commutes awesome
Incredible interview. Thanks so much guys. S. E. Leg end 😂
RFU get a grip & get the main man.
Absolute bone fide legend of his sport(s)....
What a guy. I hope he'll help France claiming the rwc trophy. It's too hard to predict but whatever the outcome will be France is already enamored with this tough Wigan bloke. Cheers.
about time !
Top man!! I definitely loved this podcast..
Absolute legend…. 🇳🇿 next for Shaun
Great show guys
Brilliant stuff
Does he do Prime ministering? What a guy, integrity in everything he does and how he does it. If his son is a chip off the block, guessing yes, he needs to get his masters… and get in the game and get Edwards ethics, integrity , intelligence, inspiration back into politics. Great interview, awesome show, my coffee sent cold listening.
What a man and what a player!!
Come back to Cymru Shaun. Should be the head coach now!
Giz - what a legend!
France for the World Cup with SE. England need him. Thanks for this interview
this guy brought something special in the "XV de France"... we all know that... he's the X factor...
Rugby League boys are a serious asset to any union team. They have skills on skills and definitely have a much more sophisticated attack than union. The more the merrier
Definitely TH-cam Wigan at Middlesex 7s Farrell and Edwards now that was a great wigan side n watch them in clash of the codes v bath rugby league match ,
Lovely chap ...
His record is like combining Brad Thorn’s playing days with Wayne Bennett as a coach. 🤯 Hat is off! Fair play.
What a great candid interview
Miss you mate
The one that got away!!
❤️
The thing I remember about 2013 was how nobody gave Wales a chance of winning. The media build up was so biased and unfair on Wales who hadn't conceded a try in a couple of games and I remember seeing the look in Warburton's eyes after the anthems and just thinking...."Here we go"
Andy Farrell and Shawn Edwards coaches of England
Shaun Edwards, most beloved son of Wales. End of
Don't worry , shaun. You didn't knock England out of the world cup, that was Australia.
This guy simply HAS to coach England! Why on earth have the rfu not snapped him up
for the same reason our rugby union bosses gave him up for byron frigging hayward. they are as thick as pig shit, and arnet fit for purpose. ill share a skip with you if you want. first cardif, then to london. then to a landfill of your choosing. 😁
Edwards, Farrell, Connolly, n don't forget Helary Hanley total rugby legends Hanley was on 8k a week in 88 we used to joke securicor delivered his wages got nearly 60k for playing 2 months in Aus , on more money than football players, Edwards though played on with fractured cheek bone for 60 odd minutes hard as nails , Wigan was undoubtedly the best rugby team in both codes from 80's to 2000'"s Middlesex 7's on TH-cam working class lads showing posh boys how rugby should be played
Why is there a picture of Eddie the eagle behind Hask?? 🤣🤣🤣
New sponsor
Great listen Thanks! Could you add timestamps in future videos? Don't always have 90 minutes plus to listen.
Will look to bring in for future episodes 😊
If I could I’ll ask Shaun if both rugby codes had to merge what would be the rules ? What you keep from both what you go somewhere in the middle like maybe playing numbers etc etc . …… hopefully end up with something off the variety and international popularity off union but with the speed ( and maybe lighter players and less bad injuries these days?) off league
Love beefy meen 🙈🥰🤪
At last and just switched on
Great but I’d like to see Mike Skinner.
Best 80 minutes 35 seconds of rugby insight you’re likely to see. Especially as a Wasps supporter. If he never becomes England Head Coach it will be a travesty.
Union is a game of kick tennis
Bit odd thanking Elma and Rocky for coming on the programme, when they didn't even appear.
Can someone please explain to me why on earth he’s never been in the England coaching staff set up ?!
This man is a God in league and rugby union, wales biggest loss letting him go what was the wru thinking? ?????????????
should have had the welsh job would have had the same impact as farrell had with ireland.
How on earth can the RFU not consider Gatland & Edwards as a possible replacement for Eddie Jones. They'd better be quick.
Edwards and Farrell 2 working class R,L wiganers from mining stock who'd have thought it that they'd become top union coaches especially back in 96 in the clash of the codes games n the Middlesex 7's worth a watch the Middlesex 7s when Wigan turned up ,
Don’t feel too bad Sean. Wales didn’t knock England out of the World Cup, that was Australia the following week. But, nothing more than the lunchtime suits at the RFU deserved might I add.
England had the chance to take him on when he left League Rugby, only to insult him with the job they offered him. So he went to Wales.
Still the Blazered buffoons of the ever so nice and good chaps of Twickerpoos ignore him? Rugby Union with their fingers on the pulse?
Re grassroots and what you’re talking about rebuilding from the community upwards please do your research on Abertillery Blaenau Gwent RFC.
Fell from grace earlydoors in professionalism. The local community driven by ex players are a prime example of rebuilding from the bottom.
If only rfu could pull their fingers out and romance him and Farrell. They seem more interested in doubling down on Jones and with the assistance of premiership rugby, killing the mens game in England.
Why did he ask if they are going to Australia what's going on
Just come across this interview, many are asking in the comments why hasn't Shaun coached England. Two words... Rob Andrew. He's been objectively opposed to any kind of League man coaching England. This prize pillock held too much power within the English RFU that saw them F up big time in missing out on Edwards and now Farrell. Look what they have done for other nations, and what have England done in return? Eddie Jones who has been pretty much a failure. England along with France have the largest resource of players and yet England have failed time and again. The only reason they won their only World Cup is because of a player many deemed to be too small to play the game, yet he had played against some of the biggest monsters in RL. Glenn Lazarus (the Brick With Eyes) and Paul Harragon (The Chief) to name but two, that player was Jason Robinson.
England need to get rid of this public schoolboy hierarchy if they want to succeed.
Get rid of the dinosaur RFU and get edwards in!!! 10 years to late!! England have been going backwards since 2019 and RFU have done nowt! Anyone who keeps selecting Furbanks in every squad should an instant sackable offence!😃
Please tell me how the fuck did wales let this man go absolutely fucking bonkers. 🏴
Or how the hell the RFU haven’t signed him
Simply because Wales Rugby had to sort itself out.
And played a full game with a broken jaw
Great player, won alot with wigan, but then again they were the ONLY professional club at the time, so pretty worthless really, he signed for the Bradford Bulls in 1998, but soon left after an alcohol fuelled fight in wibsey. Hence him only playing maybe 12 games, a good fight to im told. Gotta be the No1 man for England job
Why on earth would he leave France to coach England . It would be step backwards , New Zealand is were he should go . Time the prem shambles is sorted all the top English players will be playing abroad .
