Description
If you've played rugby in NZ in the last decade it is highly likely you have either played with or against this great lad, Joe Royal. Joe has had a different career to many of the guest who have been on already, there was certainly no fast tracked contracts here.
Joe spent 7 years battling away in the Auckland club rugby scene before deciding to take a risk and give it a crack with the BOP Steamers. A few things went his way and Joe got some good game time with BOP and was even named in the NZ Maori side later that year!
Believe it or not after Joes NPC debut he had to wait another 9 years before he eventually got a Super Rugby cap for Moana Pasifika at the age of 36. A crazy story which you'll have to listen to it to comprehend.
Theres plenty of good yarns in this episode and the overlying message of perseverance which is inspiring. If you enjoy the episode please give it a share, it does help out massively.
