The Northern Rugby Podcast - Episode 2 - Matt Burke

Darren & Pete chat with Aussie hero Matt Burke about his legendary career.

Matt talks the guys through the shock of turning professional in the mid nineties and how he ended up with the New South Wales Waratahs. He also tells us about his World Cup experiences; from being young and impressionable in South Africa 1995, to a record haul of 25 points in the final in 1999, to the disappointment of losing to England in 2003. The guys also discuss the 2001 Lions Series as Burke helped Australia to come from 1-0 down and turn the series around giving Australia a 2-1 victory and their first ever victory over the Lions. Darren just had to mention that try by Brian O'Driscoll though...

Matt tells us why he decided to come across to England when he did, why he chose the Newcastle Falcons as his club and what he loved about his time there. Hint, it was not the weather. We finish up with Matt's Ultimate XV and as you'd expect, there are some all time names in that lineup.
