In this episode I sit down with Liam Turner, current Leinster player and BESS student in Trinity. Liam went to school in Blackrock winning both Junior and Senior Cups as captain. Liam also played underage for Leinster and Ireland winning the U18,19 and 20 Interpros and winning a Grand Slam with the Ireland 20's in 2019. Liam has also represented Ireland on the Rugby 7ns circuit playing in the likes of Cape Town.

We chat about the Leaving Cert and Blackrock at the start and then more about playing for Leinster and Ireland at underage and getting his chance in the senior squad after about 20 mins. Liam also talks about his own Leaving Cert experience and the cross transferable skills he noticed between studying and playing elite sport.

Overall I really enjoyed this podcast big time. From talking about the cultured fostered in the Leinster setup to playing for Ireland in a World Cup in Argentina there's plenty to dig into. We even touched on the two times that he managed to torch me on the rugby pitch ! I hope you'll enjoy this podcast and get some benefit out of it too.

(Apologies for the audio quality at times by the way. It's a work in progress but we're on the case.)
