The Diary of a Harlequin

Our eighth and final guest of Series One is Mr Harlequins himself, all-time record appearance holder Danny Care! Danny shares how rejection at a football academy started him on his journey to the top of rugby, how close he really came to joining Saracens and what he's learnt in life as a father, podcaster, TV personality and house builder! We also discuss how he rates his two Premiership wins, the story of his competitive debut, and who would be in his Harlequins Boy Band. He's open with us about his saving (and spending) habits, and what his plans for the future look like too.   An Official Harlequins podcast, The Diary of a Harlequin is bought to you by Charles Stanley Wealth Managers, Official Player Welfare Partner of Harlequins | @Harlequins x @_CharlesStanley Hosted by Joe Yates-Round | @joeyatesround Guest – Danny Care | @dannycare9 Produced by BEISHONCREATIVE | @beishoncreative

Our seventh guest is Harlequins Club Captain, Stephan Lewies – Steph shares with us how he got his start in the game and his rapid rise in South Africa including a call up to the Spring Boks. He's also really honest with us about his long battle with injury – longer than he ever expected and shares key insights into what his leadership style is and how believes you can get the best from everybody. We also discuss his dreams of travelling, how the move to Quins came about and the immense privilege he feels and leading this group. Naturally we also cover any tips he has on saving and money management and what advice has helped shaped him.

Our sixth guest is Harlequins front row, Santiago Garcia Botta– there's not much Santi hasn't achieved in the game, from representing his country in a World Cup, being one of the first men to earn a professional contract to play in Argentina, and winning the Premiership with Harlequins. But if he had not answered his phone one Thursday it could have all been so very different… We also discuss how close he came to becoming a lawyer, his love of family and make sure you listen out for a barely believable story on what happens when an Argetinian finds out a Harlequins match clashes with the Football World Cup Final!

Our fifth guest is Harlequins fullback Tyrone Green. Tyrone exploded into the consciousness of Harlequins fans on our run to the 2021 Premiership Title – but his journey is one that started many years previously honing his skill at every level of the game in his native South Africa, proving there's no such thing as an overnight success. Tyrone shares with us the singular goal that keeps him focussed, his passions outside of rugby including a love of all things anime, and how his previous experiences, from injuries, to successes have shaped the man, and Harlequin, he is today.

Our fourth guest is Harlequins and England fullback Ellie Kildunne. Ellie is a superstar of the women's game, she is an integral part of the Red Roses, including playing the World Cup Final in New Zealand last year. Ellie talks about how she believes the Women's game can continue it's growth, the hard graft behind her rapid rise to the top of the game at only 23 years old, and the heartbreak of losing that final at Eden Park. Ellie also shares with us her passion for creativity, whether it be fashion or photography, the lessons she lives her life by from advice to finances, and how her competitive nature stretches into every aspect of her life. Also listen all the way to the end for a special bonus guest… Otis the The Cockalier! Ellie's Cavalier Cocker Spaniel Cross who sat in on the recording!

Our third guest is Harlequins winger, Louis Lynagh – in many ways Louis is a typical 22 year old enjoying gaming, fashion, and spending time with friends. However beneath this is a complex and driven individual. Already a Premiership Winner, he is also studying for his Economics degree at the University of Surrey. But it's not all been plain sailing, he shares his struggles openly and honestly after his meteoric rise, growing up with a famous father, and his obsession for improving his game. As always we also discuss his spending habits, and any tips he has learned on the way… and as a proud Arsenal fan whether he thinks this can be their year…!

Our second guest is Harlequins Women's forward, Bryony Cleall – as a two time Premiership Champion, and three time 6 Nations winner, two of those Grand Slams she is no stranger to success. However her career has been anything but straightforward, from balancing her rugby with her career as a teacher, two major injuries leaving her questioning whether the sport was for her and all that whilst being a twin sister to Poppy! Bryony's journey is eye opening and honest, as we explore how she became a Harlequin, and there's even a few bonus restaurant recommendations too, but you'll need to listen to hear more on that!

Our first ever guest is Harlequins Back Row, Jack Kenningham - at the age of 23 Jack has already won a Premiership title, got his degree, and had surgery on a broken neck, so plenty of ground to cover! We'll hear how he balanced his study and rugby, how he got his big break in the team, and the importance of team mates and fans. We'll also discover what he spends his money on, tips for saving (he does do it Mum and Dad, honest) and what life as a Harlequin looks like for him.
