Arguably England's greatest prop since World Cup winner Trevor Woodman, Alex Corbisiero has a fascinating life story. Born in New York and raised in Surrey, he went on to represent England at the highest level, before retiring in his late 20s after a long injury history. In 2020 he received treatment for testicular cancer. Now a TV personality, DJ, and rugby coach, Corbisiero is still only 37. Here he reflects on his days as a prop when he fluctuated between 18 and 19 stone and could deadlift 260kg. What were the one on one battles like on the field? How did he improve? What was it like playing through injury? He played a key role in helping the British and Irish Lions win the decisive Test against Australia in 2013. The year before he was in the England side that beat the All Blacks at Twickenham. Corbisiero also reflects on his experience of cancer, reveals his commitment to Christianity, offers his take on brain injuries in rugby, discusses political polarisation, and gives thanks to the strength of his family.
