Jimmy Gopperth on his journey from NZ to Leicester, still playing at 39 and the story behind Jimmy G tees

Lawrence Dallaglio is joined by the Evening Standard’s Steve Cording and rugby correspondent Nick Purewal, plus Leicester fly-half/centre Jimmy Gopperth, as they review Round 2 of the Six Nations and look ahead to the return of this weekend’s Premiership games.  Jimmy tells us why Dan Carter is part responsible for his move away from New Zealand at the age of 26. He also reveals what keeps him motivated to keeping play aged 39 and why he’s happy to help coach younger players even though they may want to take his position. Plus he shares the poignant story behind the kicking tees he’s used for 20 years and why they now carry his name. There’s a review of the Six Nations action as Lawrence tells us why England fans need to recalibrate their expectations of the team and everyone selects their Player of the Weekend.  The guys also make their predictions of the winners of this weekend’s Premiership fixtures and Jimmy gets ‘Tackled’ by Lawrence’s quickfire questions.  Hosted on Acast.
