Scott Waldrom- What a Lad
Manage episode 487405066 series 2780303
This one has it all — Scott Waldrom, one of the most explosive loose forwards to play the game, jumps on for an absolute ripper of a chat and does not hold back. From growing up as a rugby super fan idolising his hero’s to playing with legends like Jonah Lomu, Jerry Collins, Christian Cullen and Justin Marshall, to getting dropped from Sevens after a scrap in Lower Hutt, Scooters career is full of highs, lows, and unreal yarns.
We talk about:
- His early days which involved plenty of battles with younger brother Thomas Waldrom
- Debuting with Jonah Lomu and being starstruck in training
- Getting told he was too small for NPC and proving everyone wrong
- National Nude Day and bar vouchers
- Being told his foot injury meant his rugby career was over — and then making it back
- Getting named in the All Blacks squad and wondering if he belonged
- The brutal truth about injuries, pressure, drinking culture, and bouncing back
- Coaching with the NZ Sevens, a scary health scare and life after footy
Honest, hilarious, and full of insight — this one’s got everything. A top man with a stack of stories. Scooter Waldrom is an absolute lad!
