Who at akado.com It's a world cup yeah man it's not about how old you are who cares about your age it's about how you can perform who's going to be best for the team it's been really really good in terms of for my body for my mental state just diving head first in terms of the French lifestyle Chief can you still morn and brawl yeahwl? Yeah. Chief, can you still think things? Right, got docky sign coming over now. That was pretty much it, man. Genuine. I did feel bad in a way to not be returning to saints, but that's not always how it works. Do you want an easy life or do you want to throw yourself back into the fire? And I'm a glutton for punishment, mate. So it's into the fire for me. Well, Ben, our French Odyssey continues. It sure does. We couldn't come to South France without catch up our old teammate. He's course, a British and Irish line, 105 caps for England, and he's coming out of international retirement. It is the one and only. Courtney Laws. Thank you. Thank you. Good to be here. Court, sorry. I was expecting to a round of applause. It's a live show. It's good for you to be here. It's great that we've been able to catch up with you and thanks for letting us come do it your pad, which is my pleasure. Which is great, by the way. It's absolutely my pleasure. It's amazing. It's sunny. It's quite like 10 minutes from, we had an impression of breathe that it was going to be like this industrial heartland and it's lovely, isn't it? Could be more wrong. So why are you going back to Manchester, mate? That's a great question. |
| 1:45.1 | The sun shines here. |
| 1:46.6 | Like it's a beautiful city. |
| 1:48.1 | Yeah, yeah, yeah. |
| 1:49.3 | No, no, it's a beautiful place. |
| 1:53.0 | It really is a lovely place to live, |
| 1:56.1 | especially when you've got a family. |
| 1:57.8 | We were lucky enough to find a pad like this |
| 1:59.9 | where there's a bit of space for the boys to go and play and whatnot. |
| 2:03.1 | It's not, everything's close, very safe. |
| 2:05.2 | So it's been absolutely fantastic. |
| 2:07.6 | And we, you know, in some aspects, we were kind of hoping to stay or we would have stayed. |
| 2:14.3 | But, you know, things change in rugby very quickly. |
| 2:16.7 | And I had an opportunity to get back to the perm and finish playing at, you know, a high level of rugby. |
| 2:25.8 | And I think I think if I didn't do that, I would have probably regret it if I, you know, when all the dust is settled and I've hung out the boots. |
| 2:34.9 | Do you feel like there's, it's almost like unfinished business? |
| 2:37.7 | Is that sort of the mentality or you just didn't feel, you felt like there's more in you? |
| 2:42.3 | Yeah, yeah, essentially. |
| 2:44.5 | And I think it was a difficult decision because on the one hand, like I said, lifestyle here is great, family, love it, I really love it, I really enjoy the players, the support's great at the club and all that kind of stuff. |
| 3:00.4 | Even the rugby is like a good level and stuff like that, but on the other hand, I had the opportunity to get back to the UK, back to the Prem, another shot of that with Sell, you know, first and foremost. |
| 3:14.8 | And then everything that goes with it in terms of my career and the opportunity and the history I could potentially make if things were to go my way. |
