Our guest this week is Aled Thomas.  Aled came to London Welsh in 2007 after a few years at Newport Gwent Dragons.  Still a young lad at 22 and wanting regular rugby at 10 for a club that was going places; and he chose right in London Welsh as this was their first season as a professional squad.  During his first season at the club, he also went on to win the World 7's in Dubai with another club stalwart in Lee Beech.  Three seasons for the club and he was offered a contract to go back to Scarlets to play Pro 12 which he took as World Cup cover for some of their Welsh Internationals, but played in the majority of their games. Phil Davies took him to Gloucester so he had a season in the Premiership, before going back to Scarlets to finish his professional career. You really get to appreciate the ups and down of being a pro player, when you hear how Aled's professional career came to an abrupt end.  We hear about life as a Semi pro player in the Welsh Premiership and how he is still playing and recently been at the Principality playing for Aberafan. Enjoy.

Our guest this week is Colin Charvis. Colin commenced his senior rugby career at London Welsh whilst he was studying in London and stayed for four years having played in the Occies, 3rds, 2nds and over 80 appearances for the first XV.  His club career took him from Swansea, to Tarbes (France D2), Newcastle and Newport Gwent Dragons.  Colin will be remembered for his try scoring ability for Wales, with over 90 caps, 3 Rugby World Cups, Captaining Wales, plus a few appearances on the Lions tour of 2001 in Australia.  Post rugby, Colin has kept himself busy with setting up his flooring company, learning Welsh and Broadcasting.  This podcast series is sponsored by London Welsh Developments LTD.    Contact details: 0208 3359123 email - info@lwdltd.co.uk

Our guest this week is former London Welsh back row forward, Ed Jackson.  Ed played for London Welsh for only two seasons, but what a two years they were for the club.  Promotion from the play offs in the Championship to a season in the Premiership with Lyn Jones as our DoR.  Ed went on to have a successful playing career with Wasps and Newport Gwent Dragons after leaving London Welsh, but he then suffered an horrific injury when diving into the shallow end of a swimming pool in April 2017.  Having undergone an operation to repair a fracture of his C6/C7 vertebrae, he lay, quadriplegic on his back in ICU with only limited movement in his right arm.  His rugby career now over and with experts warning him that he may never walk again; Ed faced a battle to for his own independence. WIthin a year of his accident, Ed Jackson climbed to the top of Snowdon with many of his former London Welsh team mates at his side.  He hasn't looked back since, walking up many European mountains and the Himalayas, raising money for charities that helped him, including Wings for Life and Rugby Restart.  He has been inspirational to many other patients who have suffered similar fetes and has now formed his own Charity which is called Millimeters to Mountains to help others.  Truly an inspirational individual. https://www.millimetres2mountains.org/our-story/ This podcast series is sponsored by London Welsh Developments LTD.   Contact details: 0208 3359123 email - info@lwdltd.co.uk

I love the link between sport at any level and the transferable skills we can use in the business world, so I was super excited to speak to this weeks guest. It was a pleasure to sit down with Greg Bateman to discuss 2020 and the launch of 'The Peoples Captain'. Greg - the big picture guy - Greg is a current professional rugby player in Wales for Newport Gwent Dragons. His love of craft beer inspired him in 2018 to work with some local craft breweries to create his first 2 beers (now LEGEND and SHORT & STOUT). As an advocate of positive mental health, Greg incorporated People's Captain with the purpose of supporting its very own charity The People's Captain Foundation.

This weeks' guest is former London Welsh front row player, Greg Bateman. Greg arrived at Old Deer Park in 2011 giving up a full time job and moving from Dorking RFC to have a crack at being a full time professional rugby player with Welsh. During that time he converted to hooker and played two years for the club, before a move to Exeter Chiefs to continue playing in the Premiership. Whilst only there for two years, Greg enjoyed the environment, bud didn't play as often as he liked, so he made the move to Welford Road to play for Leicester Tigers. Greg played across all three front row positions, the only Premiership player to do so and the self proclaimed, People's captain, played nearly 100 games for the club. He is now playing for Newport Gwent Dragons and has also just launched a range of beer, aptly named The People's Captain.
