The Sports Panel - Why does sport have such an emotional grip?

Simon Davies is joined by former Sport Wales CEO Huw Jones and journalist Ian Herbert.

The Sports Panel returns once again to discuss the latest issues dominating the back pages over the last week. We are joined by guests Huw Jones, the former CEO of Sport Wales, and Ian Herbert, Chief Sportswriter at The Independent. After the emotional aftermath of Newport County's survival in the Football League, Simon Davies asks our guests why sport has such an emotional grip on us as a viewing audience, whether anything else rivals the pursuit of the impossible in sport, and does sport need to change its approach towards mental health?
