.From the intensity of matchday to the quiet responsibility of home life.

In this episode, Declan sits down with Ulster and Ireland centre Stuart McCloskey for an open conversation about elite sport, fatherhood, and the balance between performance and presence.

They talk about the privilege and pressure of professional rugby, how leadership evolves over a career, and how becoming a dad to three boys has reshaped Stuart’s priorities both on and off the pitch. There are honest reflections, a few light stories, and real insight into what it takes to carry responsibility in more than one arena.

A relaxed, thoughtful chat about standards, sacrifice, and knowing where your energy matters most. Oh and who the boys think the next Man U boss will be!
