The One with Lindsay Peat
The multi-sport Ireland international on coming out - and this year's Union Cup.
Lindsay Peat is the sort of amazing athlete who hasn't just excelled in one sport - but in a whole bucketload of them.
She represented Ireland as a youngster in football; she did the same in basketball as a full international; then played three All-Ireland Finals as a Gaelic football star.
Then, she decided to take up rugby - debuting against England in only her eighth game, and taking part in a World Cup and three Women's Six Nations since then. She's also an ambassador for this year's Union Cup in Dublin - as Europe's largest inclusive rugby tournament heads to the Emerald Isle.
We're delighted to have such an eloquent, articulate guest on the pod - and her last answer in particular is one of the most poignant we've had since we started. We love her, and we think you will as well.
