Raffi Quirke doesn't want rugby to define him as a person. The Sale Sharks scrum half opens up about his passions and interests outside of the game including his love of cooking which inspired his Instagram account Pitch to Plate, and why buying a pair of clippers not only allows him to cut the hair of team mates but bond with them off the field. Quirke also speaks about a junior career as a triathlete growing up in Manchester and talks about being part of a new generation of England players coming through.You will also hear contributions from teammates Ben Youngs, Lewis Ludlam and Mark Atkinson as well as Great Britain cycling coach Tom Hodgkinson, who oversaw Quirke's cycling coaching as a youngster, and his former rugby coach Owen Lucas.FOLLOW:·        England Rugby Facebook·        England Rugby Instagram·        England Rugby Twitter·        England Rugby TikTok·        O2 Sports Instagram·        O2 Sports Twitter SUBSCRIBE:·        Subscribe to the pod here. BUY:·        Get the latest kits, training and leisure wear from England Rugby StoreAUDIO CREDIT·      With thanks to BT Sport for permission to use their Premiership commentary Our GDPR privacy policy was updated on August 8, 2022.
