Description

Former England rugby captain Chris Robshaw joins Spencer for an honest conversation about resilience, leadership, and life beyond the pitch.


Chris reflects on how losing his father at a young age gave him both a drive to succeed and a passion for rugby as a positive outlet. He explains why there are no shortcuts to success, only resilience, consistency, and the support of teammates, and how his leadership evolved from insecurity to trust, delegation, and leading by example.


Candid about both triumphs and setbacks, Chris also opens up about the weight of public scrutiny after the 2015 World Cup, the importance of talking openly about mental health, and the culture shift within rugby toward openness and support. He also shares the irreplaceable thrill of representing his country, the challenges of life after retirement, and his optimism for rugby’s future.


This is a conversation about overcoming adversity, growing as a leader, and finding purpose on and off the field.
