Our sixth guest is Harlequins front row, Santiago Garcia Botta– there’s not much Santi hasn’t achieved in the game, from representing his country in a World Cup, being one of the first men to earn a professional contract to play in Argentina, and winning the Premiership with Harlequins. But if he had not answered his phone one Thursday it could have all been so very different… We also discuss how close he came to becoming a lawyer, his love of family and make sure you listen out for a barely believable story on what happens when an Argetinian finds out a Harlequins match clashes with the Football World Cup Final!

Our fifth guest is Harlequins fullback Tyrone Green. Tyrone exploded into the consciousness of Harlequins fans on our run to the 2021 Premiership Title – but his journey is one that started many years previously honing his skill at every level of the game in his native South Africa, proving there’s no such thing as an overnight success. Tyrone shares with us the singular goal that keeps him focussed, his passions outside of rugby including a love of all things anime, and how his previous experiences, from injuries, to successes have shaped the man, and Harlequin, he is today.

Our third guest is Harlequins winger, Louis Lynagh – in many ways Louis is a typical 22 year old enjoying gaming, fashion, and spending time with friends. However beneath this is a complex and driven individual. Already a Premiership Winner, he is also studying for his Economics degree at the University of Surrey. But it’s not all been plain sailing, he shares his struggles openly and honestly after his meteoric rise, growing up with a famous father, and his obsession for improving his game.

Bryony’s journey is eye opening and honest, as we explore how she became a Harlequin, and there’s even a few bonus restaurant recommendations too, but you’ll need to listen to hear more on that!
