Description
My guest today is one of the most recognisable rugby coaches in the world.  A Rugby Union player turned coach, and only man to have won the major domestic competition in each hemisphere, he currently coaches the English Premiership’s Leicester Tigers. Five years later, in an emotional and personal decision, he code-switched to Rugby League to coach the team of his parents’ home-nation, Lebanon.  A decision which led him to be dubbed “the busiest man in rugby” as he simultaneously coached Lebanon’s League team and Argentina’s Union team.  My guest today is Michael Cheika.  Hosted on Acast.
