Show Notes
On this week's episode, Hannah and Sarah sit down with well-known rugby player Tadhg Furlong to chat about his upbringing on a farm, his rugby career to date and eating "a drill of spuds." The County Wexford native spoke about his love for the countryside having grown up on a farm and how he likes to visit as much as he can while balancing a busy training schedule. He reflected on his younger days growing up playing rugby for New Ross rugby club and hurling and football for Horeswood GAA club. As a decorated Leinster, Ireland and British and Irish Lions rugby player, Tadhg looked back on some of the most memorable highlights of his career so far. He also spoke about losing his father to cancer in 2023 and the impact that he made on Tadhg both as a rugby player and a person. Having become a father in recent years, he said "it definitely changes your life" and spoke about how he loves being a "girl dad." Looking ahead on the start of a new rugby season, Tadhg said he is looking forward to getting back into it and building towards next year's rugby world cup in Australia. Hosted on Acast.
