Summary

Today we're joined by a Fijian legend in Josh Matavesi to take us through his incredible career, which saw him represent top teams in; England, Wales and France and of course playing nearly 50 times for Fiji. Josh is still playing semi-pro rugby in Cornwall and we open up by hearing about the craziest initiations we've ever heard in nearly 170 Episodes of this podcast, we then hear about sleeping on the floor in Fiji, getting eating alive by giant bed bugs, the practice of getting high on kava after a match, why his brother chose to play for Fiji at the world cup only a day after their dad has passed, cheese and port fuelled trips at newcastle under Dean Ryan, the trick to a flawless dummy on the pitch and much more.....
Plus, Archie analyses Englands upsetting loss to Scotland but reveals why he's never been more confident ahead of the Ireland game and we finish off with another epic Club House Story.
