PART TWO | Dan Ward-Smith: Premiership, England & What Might Have Been

In Part Two of my conversation with Plymouth Albion legend Dan Ward-Smith, we pick up the story as his career takes him beyond Brickfields and into the top level of English rugby. Dan talks about leaving Plymouth, his time with Bristol and Wasps, playing alongside some of the biggest names in the game and just how close he came to pulling on an England shirt. We also get into the tougher side of professional rugby — injuries, setbacks and the moments that shaped both his career and his life away from the pitch. And to finish, Dan picks his DREAM XV made up entirely of players he played alongside throughout his career. After more than three hours talking rugby, this was a conversation I genuinely didn’t want to end.
