Richard Hill joins James Gemmell to talk about England's representative rugby and his role within the RFU.

English rugby is in good health according to recent statistics. Over the last few weeks there have been eight matches across the board, with England playing against the Wallabies twice, the Saxons in South Africa for two games and the Under 20s taking part in the World Championship in Manchester.

Out of those eight games, all were won by the English teams.

The Under-20s are unbeaten in their tournament, the Saxons came from behind to record a 29-26 win over South Africa 'A' in George on Friday to go with their win in Bloemfontein, while England claimed their first ever series victory over the Wallabies in Australia with a 23-7 victory in Melbourne.
