John Day welcomes newly named All Black Simon Parker onto Day In The Life. Parker's rugby dream just got real - the towering 6’6” loose forward has earned a maiden call-up for the Rugby Championship, and a good chance at making his debut against one of Argentina, South Africa or Australia. He talks to John about how he actually missed coach Scott Robertson's first call while in a team review and was “zoned out” when the big news landed. From doing the haka in the shower as a kid to now prepping for the Pumas, it’s a full-circle moment. Parker has battled two years of injuries as well - foot surgery, shoulder issues, and even a recent ankle problem - but he is stoked just to be back on the field. Preferred position? Blindside flanker, but he’ll take any jersey.
