Just three years ago former rugby player Shane Horgan lifted the Heineken Cup with Leinster having previously represented both Ireland and the British and Irish Lions. Today Shane is a trainee solicitor in London and he joins Jarlath on the show this week to discuss the path that took him here.
Shane opens up about how he doubted whether he wanted Ireland to succeed without him having being dropped from the Irish team just ahead of them winning the Grand Slam before explaining why he believes Paul Kimmage should leave no stone unturned when it comes to investigating drugs in rugby.
From discussions about facing up to Jonah Lomu, obsessive behaviour in sportspeople, comparing the money in rugby versus soccer to the role of parents in sports this chat covers it all.
