In this episode of The Burgess Podcast we got the opportunity to talk to former Hurricane and London Irish player James Marshall. James' career has been one of adversity and success which will be an inspiring listen for many rugby fans. 

We begin by taking James back to when he was a youngster and had him explain what it was like for him to grow up in New Zealand playing rugby. He spoke about his time at Nelson College and the struggles and hard work that was needed for him to be a success in the game. 

We then moved onto James' career which is packed with James travelling the world and it is a really interesting to see how James' career fell into place and how opportunities came about for him. For example we spoke about his time in Italy, England and Japan all away from where he was used to playing rugby in New Zealand. Following on from speaking about James's career we spoke about what he is up to at the moment and aspiring to do with his life after rugby. Finally James managed to give his advice to all the young aspiring rugby players advice which he feels is key to becoming a successful player.
