People who know me quite well probably know that I’m not very sporty myself and don’t have much interest in watching sport (although those who know me a bit better know that I love watching snooker and clear my diary for the two-day final of the World Snooker Championship every year). So it was an interesting and new challenge to interview former Rugby Union player Peter Browne.
I consulted some people who actually do know something about rugby before I interviewed him, and even looked up the rules of Rugby Union (which seems to involve a lot of being required to drop the ball). And fortunately I had actually watched a couple of games of the Euros, so I sounded like someone who may have at least a passing interest in sport.
The article based on the interview is in this month’s edition of Christianity magazine (i.e. the August edition), which is sport-themed because of the Olympics. You can see the article online by clicking the button below, or if it’s paywalled by the time you read this, and you’re not a Premier subscriber, you can buy a copy in larger newsagents, if you like. It’s not all sports jargon, either. There are some inspiring quotes about living for God in challenging environments and coping with disappointments, details of horrible injuries and a truly gross university initiation challenge 🤮 See, you’re curious now, aren’t you?
