About the episode

In this week’s Lions interview, Dan Biggar sits down with Welsh rugby legend George North to look back on an iconic career that started with a bang, scoring twice on debut against the Springboks and at just 18. The lads relive his explosive arrival on the international stage, through to some iconic Lions moments, including that carry with Folau on his back and pointing at Will Genia while scoring one of the all time great Lions tries. George opens up on his evolution from winger to centre, and the demands of the modern back. From battling injury setbacks to delivering world-class performances under Gatland and Edwards, it’s an honest, funny, and powerful chat with one of Wales’ greatest ever. Enjoy.
