In this weeks' episode of the podcast, I had the pleasure of chatting with former Sale Sharks captain & current Ulster and Ireland back Will Addison.

Join us as he candidly chats through;

• Growing up in the Lake District on the family farm
• How taking on a sheep 1v1 helped his tackling game
• Love of competitive sports, including a childhood of skiing
• Being spotted by & then fast-tracked through the Sale Sharks academy
• Captaining Sale and representing them 114 times before his move to Ulster
• What drove the Ulster move, and how long it was in the planning for (including a thank you to Dwayne Peel and Mark Jones!)
• Frustration with injuries, and how real early retirement could have been not too long ago...
• Irish Rugby caps, and his ambitions for the future with Ulster & Ireland
• Thoughts on the Lions tour of South Africa
• Social media for players and the need for regulation and ID verification
• A discussion on mental health
• Best players played with and against

One of my most enjoyable episodes to record yet - so much so it's being published earlier than usual! Sit back, enjoy and don't forget to give the podcast a follow or suscribe.
