In this episode of the Halftime Oranges Podcast, the boys sit down with Flyn Yates, aka Beef Cheeks. Beef has recently moved to Japan to play footy. We discuss his experience settling into life in Japan, the challenges of language barriers, and the differences in rugby divisions. We also touch on his knowledge of his team mascot, his Japanese diet and of course Match Made in Heaven. Listen in and enjoy. Thanks to Yates for sitting down and having a yarn with us. One of the great men to come out of Palmy Boys.

Fun Fact, Flyn has the unofficial biggest rump in NZ rugby.
