Episode Description from the Publisher

In this episode of No Rucks Given, we sat down with Christ Tshiunza to discuss his rise in professional rugby from Congolese asylum seeker to seasoned Welsh international. Christ’s focus on remaining present in the moment and his refusal to form any expectations for his rugby career offer a very unique perspective on how to make it to the international stage.⏱️ TIMESTAMPS01:10 Intro & Welcome01:53 Family & Early Life05:00 Acclimatising to Wales11:00 Intro to Rugby19:35 Early Rugby Career at Cardiff31:20 How Christ joined Exeter Chiefs35:38 Selection to Wales senior Team47:55 Injury woes & demotion to Welsh u20s55:00 Selection to Welsh World Cup Squad01:04:20 Christ’s take on the decline of Welsh Rugby01:08:53 General Rapid Fire Questions01:12:44 “Drivn” Fitness App & Christ’s life outside rugby01:17:40 Episode Recap👍 Like & subscribe for fortnightly rugby podcasts🎧 Listen on Spotify & Apple Podcasts📲 Follow us on Instagram: @NoRucksGivenPodcast TikTok: @nrg.podcast#RugbyPodcast #EnglandRugby #ProfessionalRugby
