Sam Burgess Special
On this week’s podcast Dave Woods is joined by a legend of both the English and Australian game, Sam Burgess, who, following his retirement, is now a rugby league coach in Australia. He talks about his own upcoming Grand Final and his interest in coaching in Super League and with England. Sam reflects on the disappointment he suffered in both the 2013 and 2017 World Cups and looks ahead to England’s chances this time around. In Australia, he’s a huge star and he discusses the difficulties which have come with that and his legendary appearance on SAS: Who Dares Wins.

02:00 Sam is now coaching in Australia and has guided his team to a Grand Final in his first year.

11:10 He reminisces about his two World Cup campaigns in 2013 and 2017.

20:40 In Australia, Sam is a huge star, and he talks of the difficulties which come with that.
23:00 Sam took part in Australia’s version of SAS: Who Dares Wins and was the only contestant to escape.
