Brad Thorn: NZ Rugby legend on his career, new book 'Champions Do Extra'

One of the most enduring two-code careers in Australasian sport belongs to Brad Thorn.  An All Black, Crusader, Highlander, Bronco, Queenslander, and Kangaroo, Thorn has nearly done it all over the span of his 40 year career.  ‘Champions Do Extra’, is Thorn’s memoir, and it delves into his legendary rugby career and the lessons he’s learnt along the way.   He began working on it after he finished up with the Reds.  “I thought, if I’m going to write something, surely I’ve learned something over the last 30 years, y’know, now is the time.”  He was a part of three champion Brisbane Broncos sides and a World Cup winning All Blacks side – an achievement he maintains is the greatest of his career.  “The Grand Final of Grand Finals,” he told Piney.  “Everything was on the line.”  LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
