The Diary of a Harlequin

Our final guest of the season is Shaunagh Brown. She is a Harlequins hero with 100 appearances for the club and an incredible backstory.

During this episode Shaunagh speaks about rugby gradually taking over her life, as people started to notice her sporting prowess on the athletics track. Along with growing up and her mum allowing her to wear what she wants which lead to her being her own individual person, not wanting to fit into the norms.

Our sixth guest is Harlequins front row, Santiago Garcia Botta– there’s not much Santi hasn’t achieved in the game, from representing his country in a World Cup, being one of the first men to earn a professional contract to play in Argentina, and winning the Premiership with Harlequins. But if he had not answered his phone one Thursday it could have all been so very different…

We also discuss how close he came to becoming a lawyer, his love of family and make sure you listen out for a barely believable story on what happens when an Argetinian finds out a Harlequins match clashes with the Football World Cup Final!
