Everyone loves a battler and when it comes to one of the greatest battlers to ever play the game the great Laurence Corlett has to be up there. The man who debuted for the Hurricanes 10 years after his first class debut for Canterbury, the man known as Frank put in a 7 minute shift that will never be forgotten at the Hurricanes. The story of Laurence Corlett is one that has so many layers, he's a true yes man who put himself out there and he can tell one heck of a story. Some bits that stood out for me in this one were... How Dane Coles gave him the opportunity to get a Super Rugby cap Why he had to keep his beanie on during his first meeting with Steve Hansen His battles with throwing as a hooker throughout his career How he ended up at a student flat after signing his first Super Rugby contract Becoming the Taranaki CEO and the struggles involved with that role Surviving a Heart Attack! His time on My Kitchen Rules the reality TV show Plenty of yellow card stories including his fight with Liam Messam And heaps more! Lads don't get much better than Frank, such a genuine guy, he has great energy and great yarns. I know you'll enjoy this one and when you do please give it a share. Hosted on Acast.
