Show Notes

Kicking off Season Two of Mindset Unfiltered by Alex Legouix is Peter 'Wints' Winterbottom MBE is a former Harlequins, British & Irish Lions and England Rugby Player - arguably one of the greatest opensides to ever play the game

He played in 58 tests for England, winning two Grand Slams in ’91 & ’93 and reached the World Cup final in 1991.

He toured with the British and Irish Lions to New Zealand in 1983 and 1993, playing in 19 games including 7 tests.

"Wints" or "StrawMan" as he was also known, was the second player, after Rory Underwood, to reach 50 caps for his country.

We chatted about how he stayed grounded throughout his career, how he dealt with his opponents, who his dream squad would be, and his thoughts on head injuries and much more.

I teach his lovely wife Trish yoga, but haven't managed to get him down for a class yet but I will do at some stage... It was a great chat and all in all, I can conclude... he's a legend!
