Going to the Pub with Mack Hansen: Rugby's Wildest Character

For The Love Of Rugby

In quite possibly the loosest episode of For The Love Of Rugby, Ben Youngs and Dan Cole are in Galway for a pint with one of Ireland rugby's favourite sons: the man, the myth, the Mack Hansen.

From sunny Canberra to the wild west of Ireland, Mack opens up about his journey through rugby, life in Galway, and what it meant to tour his homeland of Australia with the British & Irish Lions.

Dodgy trims, naked wrestling and tattoos of legendary coaches: this is how you become an off-pitch icon.
