My guest this week is former Gloucester, Bath, and Dragons prop-forward Shaun Knight.

We talked about:

• Breaking into the Gloucester side
• Playing in u20 World Cups
• The influence of some of the game’s great props
• His most difficult opponent
• His return to boyhood club, Matson, as a player-coach.

This is a great episode full of front-row chat - I hope you enjoy.

'Slem' was my captain and fly-half when I played at Esher, so it’s highly appropriate that he should feature in episode 10 of the podcast.

This interview was recorded in August 2019 and we chatted about the state of the professional game, lessons from captaincy and skills learned in rugby that can be transferred into business.
