Description
Ben Castle joins us to share some fantastic yarns from his life before, during and after pro rugby. From schoolboy rugby memories, to Dunedin club rugby to Simms Davison convincing the Bay of Plenty coach to bring him up north where he was chucked straight in the deep end by rooming with a few Steamers legends (who certainly made him earn his stripes). Get the behind the scenes of the Steamers iconic Ranfurly Shield victory and the 3 day bender that ensued as well as what it was like to run out against the British and Irish Lions. Find out how rugby compares in NZ, Australia, France and Wales as well as the crazy situation Toulon had to go through in order to sign Sonny-Bill. All this rounded out with some yarns about working in the commentary scene and what he's been up to post rugby.
