Corey Flynn is the definition of a lad! He's just one of those truely genuine good blokes who has had a rugby career take him on some journey. He's had some huge achievements like winning the Rugby World Cup but hearing what he had to go through to get that opportunity made it so much more special then the trophy.
In this episode we got through plenty including,
The tough decision to leave Southland to go to Canterbury and the Crusaders.
Being named in the 2003 RWC squad out of no where (crazy story how he found out)
A rough patch in his career much revolved around injuries and drinking
How he got out of that rough patch to force his way back into the All Blacks
His time in France and Scotland,
Even playing heartland for Westcoast,
and much much more.
I'd had plenty of requests to get Flynny and after this conversation I now know why, he's so honest and open in this episode as well as sharing plenty of good stories from his time. I know you'll enjoy this one!
