Konnichiwa, and welcome to another episode of Japan Rugby Weekly.

Join Rugby Translator Doug Picken, Japan 7's Representative Joe Kamana, Japan International Centre William Tupou, and Coca-Cola Red Sparks Young Gun Brody Macaskill each week as they yarn about life in Japan as a professional rugby player.

This week the boys are joined by NTT Communications Shining Arcs Centre Shane Gates.

Gatesy is an absolute legend, and in this episode he talks to us about his journey from being a player who didn't make age group rep teams to being one of the most exciting players in the Top League.

We also talk about the struggles Shane has faced with injuries and how he got himself back to peak condition.

Make sure to give this episode a listen and let us know what you think.
