Jamison Gibson Park has gone on to be without a doubt one of the best 9s in world rugby! He's one of my favourite players to watch the way he plays with speed and controls the tempo of games while always nailing the basics. He was also one of my favourite team mates to play with because he was just a massive lad. 4 years ago this episode was recorded where he had just debuted for Ireland so it's pretty cool to hear some of the conversations we had around his future plans to see how far he has exceeded them!
Some other parts that stood out for me in this episode...
Hearing about the rural upbringing Jamison had on Great Barrier Island.
How he handled missing out on the NZ 20's even though many felt he should've been in there.
How he was shafted by the Blues.
Winning the Super Rugby with the Hurricanes, starting as a wider squad member.
Why he left NZ.
How he had found it over in Ireland & with Leinster.
And heaps more!
As you'll hear, Jammo is a massive lad and it's been so cool seeing him starring at RWC's with Ireland and now on the Lions tour. He is one of the greats!
