As we dive into Auguy's story, we trace his career from the bustling stadiums of the English Championship, where he's left an indelible mark, even scoring the 'try of the season.' We then follow him to the sunny shores of Australia, where he tackled a new challenge and made his impact felt. Most recently, Auguy has been immersing himself in the vibrant rugby scene in Nice, France, where he's been adapting to a new team, a new culture, and a new style of rugby. In this conversation, we uncover the highs and lows of Auguy Slowik's rugby journey, from the electrifying highs to the hard-learned lessons from the lows. We'll explore how he navigates the challenges of moving between leagues and cultures, and how he maintains his passion and dedication to the game despite these hurdles. Join us for this insightful and inspiring episode as we navigate the exciting world of international rugby with Auguy Slowik. His experiences, insights, and tales of resilience offer a unique perspective on the global game, making for an episode you won't want to miss.
