The Catflap Chats Podcast

Great catch up with a fellow tourist and someone who's grown man and boy in Professional Rugby. Rob's played for some great clubs, reflects on the highs and lows of playing for England, and has definitely taken the best bits that rugby has to offer in terms of character and resilience.  Catch us on Apple, Spotify and Google, and look out for @CatflapChats on Insta and Twitter.  Thanks always @Bloo...

Some journey this guy has been on, and there's so much more to come. Gareth has won titles in both Hemispheres, and his U20's team would challenge most international teams now!  From Auckland to Cardiff, with some stops along the way, he's played with and against the best players in the world, although nothing prepared him for the baptism of fire, that is Welsh Rugby.

Having a beer with Lenny was refreshing - Brutal honesty about a bygone era of pre-regional rugby, professionalism, amatuer ranks, sponsorship deals and a Wales tour to Zimbabwe and South Africa in '98.  Thats without his ventures in to professional and amatuer Rugy League, and the Welsh caps that followed there too...

He may be a hard man on the field, but Nick is one of the nicest guys off it - Family, Culture and Respect mean more to him than any rugby accolade.  North Harbour, and that Auckland Blues team of the mid 2000's (Google them!), that Munster team of the late 2000's, Ulster and the Cardiff Blues - He has and still played with some of the best players of the last 20 years!  One of rugby's great serva...
