Sam Warburton

But wouldn't it be boring if our podcast name was Penalty Kick? Certainly don't think we should change it.

But yeah, it's something that I noticed Sam Warburton was talking about when I re-watched the game today.

International rugby, a little bit different.

And you don't get many games at top level international rugby that have nearly 80 points or also many of the crazy 85-45 type games as well.

But that's not how you pronounce it.

At least Sam Warburton fucking knows how to pronounce it, by the way.

Because, yeah.

But, yeah.

Cardiff had a very good team with Jamie Robertson.

And Sam Warburton, they were good teams.

I was

wondering about this during the summertime.

Okay.

If I was training, like Sam Warburton, who's in amazing shape.

Yes.

Trains differently from that and trains very functionally.

Yeah

... on the number of games piece? 'Cause, uh, so we had Sam Warburton in a few years ago.

Yeah.

He was talking about, uh, when he got to play in Wales domestically, and then when he got offers in France, and the big challenge when he got offers in France was, yes, fine, good money, but the demand to play and-

Yeah

... actually.

You know, if you'd, you'd, if you'd said to me Sam Warburton was gonna be one of the most kind of accomplished commentators and sort of orators around our game, I wouldn't have said so, 'cause his personality-wise, he's quite quiet, great leader, unbelievable player, but just not...

I didn't know he had that kind of media stuff in him.

So I always remember going back to that Wales campaign in 2018.

Was it the Scotland game, Warburton came back?

Yeah, yeah.

And they didn't make him captain.

Yeah, and he played amazingly because he had the weight of the captaincy taken off him.

Yes.

So he's still Sam Warburton, the leader, but he's able to play the best of his ability.

I think that's the vibe I get with Morgan Morris.
