The Northern Rugby Podcast - Episode 6 - Tim Visser

Darren & Pete chat with former Newcastle Falcons, Edinburgh Rugby & Harlequins winger Tim Visser. The Flying Dutchman was also a Scotland International, amassing over 30 caps and also representing the Barbarians in a 2011 victory over England.

Tim talks us through what it was like moving to the North East as a young, naive import from Holland. He also describes how Falcons coaches at the time thought he was a back row player, so in an alternate universe Tim Visser the try machine has been replaced by Tim Visser the speedy ball carrying number 8! We chat through his reasons for leaving Newcastle and heading for new pastures up North at Edinburgh, and his incredible try scoring record there.

Tim also talks about his Barbarians experience and gives us one of the funniest stories you're likely to hear on this podcast, I won't spoil it just have a listen!

We discuss Tim's decision to represent Scotland, his try scoring debut away at Fiji and a legendary home debut against the All Blacks where he also bagged himself a few tries.

Finally we finish up with the move back to England with Harlequins, thoughts on the controversial 2016 Challenge Cup Final, and his decision to retire at a relatively young age. The Ultimate XV rounds things off as usual, so come and have a listen.
