Tom Daly - From Being Ready to Quit, to the Ireland Squad

Today I chat with Connacht Rugby player Tom Daly.

Tom was in the recent Ireland squad and is playing the best rugby of his life recently, but he was very close to walking away from pro rugby a couple of years ago because things just didn’t seem to be working out. We chat about that time and also,

• Why his time at Leinster didn’t work out.
• The point of difference he feels he has, that got him into the Ireland squad.
• How it felt getting selected for the Ireland squad, but then not getting capped.
• He he would have done differently if he had his time back with Leinster.
• Balancing a physiotherapy degree with playing pro rugby.
• The type of business he would like to open when he hangs up the boots.
• Why he changed agents recently.
• The Irish international that is mentoring him.
• Impact crowds have on players and referees.
• Most enjoyable part of the week for him as a pro rugby player.
