About this listen

Irish rugby legend Tadhg Furlong joins Dave Kilcoyne and Luke Delaney in the latest episode of What The Ruck. In one of his most candid interviews to date, Tadhg opens up about the highs and lows of the professional game and the personal journey that shaped the man behind the scrum.

From his humble beginnings at New Ross RFC to becoming a cornerstone of the Ireland and British & Irish Lions squads, Tadhg shares hilarious stories from his childhood—including the "delicacy" of raw pig trotters—and reflects deeply on the emotional weight of losing his father during the 2023 World Cup.

In this episode, we dive into:

  • The Ireland Camp: The current feeling within the group and where they stand in the World Cup cycle.
  • Coaching Legends: Honest insights into working under Joe Schmidt and Andy Farrell.
  • The Lions Legacy: Can Tadhg join the elite group of players to go on four tours?
  • Personal Roots: Growing up in Wexford and the unbreakable bond with his late father.
