What a Lad

Sam Darry- What a Lad


Listen Later

Sam Darry is a massive lad! Standing at over 2 metres tall and at just 24 years old the man has achieved and been through a lot! And it feels like he is still just getting started,


After dominating schoolboy footy, Sam signed with Canterbury young and then made a bold move to head north to the Blues, a decision that he felt gave him the opportunity to become one of the best young locks in the game. It's fair to say it's worked out pretty well for him, being an important piece of the puzzle in the Blues 2024 winning season and going on to become an All Black.


In this episode we dive into:

  • Growing up with his mum Kat being being the All Blacks nutritionist
  • How rowing at college helped shape him as an athlete
  • Why he decided to turn down the Crusaders to head to the Blues
  • Tom Robinson’s top-tier pranks
  • How Vern Cotter helped his game
  • What it meant to win the 2024 Super Rugby Title with the Blues
  • Why Jase Ryan had to square him before his debut
  • His tight bond with Luke Romano, and lessons he’ll never forget
  • How he has handled the different injuries he has been hit with throughout his career
  • And how he plans to attack the next three years with a World Cup in sight


Big Sam Darry is sharp, humble, and full of unreal yarns. He is on his way to becoming one of the greats, and this episode gives you an insight into the journey and the man of the future legend.
