Jamie Cudmore is a legend of the game! He played in no less than 4 x Rugby World Cups from 2003 to 2015. He was part of the incredible success at Clermont Auvergne ASM in the French Top 14 and the European Club Championships. His professional career lasted over 15 years and his story how he got there is a fantastic one. He tells us about the time he got back from a tour to Germany, planning to hitch hike through Canada with a team mate for the summer, and how that plans changed! He is now the head coach for the High Performance Canadian Rugby Academy called the Pacific Pride and shares, with us, some of the plans they have put in place to give talented players and the Canadian national teams the best chance to perform at the highest level. We get to know more about his family and making their way back home to Canada.
