Peter Short, the former Leicester Tigers, Narbonne and Bath lock forward is my guest this week.
Shorty and I caught up in December of 2019 in Dorset, where he now works and lives to talk about the early days of professionalism, what it was like to be involved at Leicester Tigers during the halcyon days, his experience in French rugby at Narbonne and lastly a successful period at Bath.
It's a fascinating chat which also delves into his development as coach and some very interesting insights into some more scientific aspects of the game.
