The Northern Rugby Podcast - Episode 11 - Jimmy Gopperth

Darren chats to Premiership Rugby legend Jimmy Gopperth, who has had spells in Super Rugby, Premiership Rugby and the Pro14 as well.

After representing the Hurricanes and the Blues in Super Rugby and earning honours for the New Zealand U21's & Junior All Blacks, Jimmy moved to the North East with Newcastle Falcons, being the league top scorer in 3 of his 4 seasons and helping the club to win promotion back to the Premiership following relegation in 2012.

He then moved across to Leinster to fill the shoes of Johnny Sexton who had left for France, and picked up a Pro12 Winners medal in his first season following a final win over Glasgow. He has since moved back to England with Wasps where he has won a Premiership Player of the Year award as well as helping Wasps to 2 Premiership Finals.

Jimmy talks us through playing rugby all over the world, adapting to the English style of rugby, playing against the Lions with the Hurricanes, Barbarians honours and his plans for the future. A good chat with a really top guy, come have a listen.
