36. Phil McGowan & Twickenham

Time: 1:07:08
This week's guest is the historian and author Phil McGowan and Phil has nominated Twickenham as his ground jewel.
This month is the 115th anniversary of the first international match played at Twickenham (England beat Wales 11-6) and the 'Home of Rugby' has undergone numerous changes since the cabbage patch was acquired by RFU. Not least just last year selling the naming rights to the historic stadium to the insurance giant Allianz.
Who better to talk about this ever evolving ground than the curator of World Rugby Museum, which is based at Twickenham itself.
