Jason Eaton- What a Lad

The legendary Jason Eaton is one of the most recognisable lads in Rugby. The long flowing mullet, the big bushy beard and the big 2 meter frame. Combine that with the personality of one of the biggest lads going around and this is what you get. A true All Black bolter having been named in the All Blacks after just one season of NPC with Taranaki. He shares what it was like going into that environment as a true bolter and some classic yarns from his time as an All Black, including the infamous trip to the Church. The man known as Pig, also shares plenty of good stories from his time at the Hurricanes where he became a club legend not just on the field but off it. Known for his love for a beer after the game, Pig was a lad who loved the game for the social aspect of it and made sure he never lost that throughout his career. Pig also shares about how he has found his transition out of rugby, after finishing up a great career in France with La Rochelle. He openly talks about the struggles that come with finishing rugby and where he is at now. I loved this chat with one of the greats, it had a bit of everything.
