He talks about his ascension from schoolboys to international rugby, and the work ethic it took to get there. We revisit the highlights and lowlights of his storied career, and how they made an impact upon him personally. We then address Will's future career prospects. We complete the discussion with a fun, rapid-fire round of questions, as well as dialling in a surprise podcast guest.Will's candid attitude made for an enlightening discussion, particularly concerning the topic of the future of rugby union in Australia, as well as the incidents which have hindered its standing on the world stage and in the public eye. I hope you enjoy the conversation, and come to see, like I did, how good this human really is. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Soundbite sourced from:FULL REPLAY | 2011 Super Rugby Final: Reds vs CrusadersRugby.com.au (YouTube channel)https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-BKXqEOTetc&t=4295s
