Phil Burleigh is one of those lads you just can't not like. A top man who has had a very interesting career which has seen him have the highs of playing internationally for Scotland and the lows of battling through some tough injuries. However he has got through those and remarkably is still going strong today as he fast approaches 37.
In this episode we go through plenty of good yarns which include...
His current situation in Japan with Kyuden
His pathway to professional rugby and why he had to leave Canterbury
His Super Rugby time with the Chiefs and how he then became a Highlander which is a crazy yarn.
Is time at the Highlanders and some funny yarns about Jamie Joseph
His move to Edinburgh which lead to playing international rugby for Scotland
And heaps more.
