In this episode I catch up with one of the most talented and most exciting young talents coming through the NZ ranks at the moment, Leicester Fainga'anuku. 

Leicester was a school boy superstar, he was just like he is today big, strong and fast! However, all his life wanted to play rugby league, loved it and never saw rugby union as an option. As a 15 year old kid, he had a very difficult decision to make, whether he goes to Australia to take a contract with the Sydney Roosters and live his dream or stay and play Union with his brother Tima with the Tasman Mako. 

Leicester also talks about his time playing against All Blacks at the age of 15, his time with the Crusaders, his selection in the South team and some exciting plans for his future.

Leicester is a great young lad, who could be anything in this game or whatever he pursues so it was awesome to sit down and talk through the journey.
