Johnny McNicholl- What a Lad
from What a Lad
One of the great lads of Welsh and NZ rugby Johnny McNicholl is on What a Lad this week, after returning to Super Rugby in red hot form! Having started in Christchurch with Canterbury and the Crusaders, Johnny then spent 8 seasons over in Wales with the Scarletts as well as playing international rugby for Wales. Now he has returned to where it all started and is back with the Crusaders passing on his wisdom and ripping it up on the field. Some bits that stood out in this chat were... How setbacks early in his career fuelled him to work harder The confidence Johnny has always had in his own ability Why he decided to leave NZ rugby at a young age How tough it was for him to miss out on the RWC with Wales What made him send his address to a keyboard warrior Some epic yarns including one of him fighting Ray Lee-Lo at training As you'll hear the man they call J Mac is an absolute champion, someone who understands the game of rugby so well, he's always willing to help others and is just good value to be around.
