Welcome back to Episode 6 of the Power & Purpose Podcast with Leon Mann and Maro Itoje!

There’s no Will this week as he’s away with the Nigeria Super Eagles, but the powerful conversations continue.

In this episode, we celebrate Black History Month and discuss the figures who inspire us — from Muhammad Ali and Lord Ouseley to Ian Wright. We explore what true leadership and representation mean in today’s sporting world.

The team also dives into the McKinsey report that highlights a striking contrast — while 63% of Premier League players are Black, only two sit on club boards. We ask why, and take a closer look at whether rugby faces similar diversity challenges.

Join the discussion in the comments — who inspires you, and what changes would you like to see in sport?
