George Cruz, welcome to the James Smith podcast.

Thank you, thanks for having me on.

Mate, big fan, I never thought I would ever be

sat opposite you in a podcast or anything really.

England rugby player, British and Irish lion,

you've accomplished many of the things that I wanted to

as a child, as a teenager.

What's it like being a full-time professional rugby player?

Fuck, come on.

Yes, man, yeah, cool.

Calling one of Cunt, if you want.

Wow, highs and lows, definitely highs and lows,

but like a heap more highs than lows, I'd say.

Yeah, like you say, like something

a lot of people dream of doing, a heap of hard work,

like anything.

But yeah, ultimately, it's like super privileged job.

And yeah, Pumptor had a career I've had so far.

Still out in Japan, got a few.

Want to win another top league medal, which is obviously

a highly sought-after piece of item.

But yeah, good, like really, really enjoyable.
