Today’s conversation is with Huw Jones, Glasgow Warriors & Scottish international rugby star.

You may know him nowadays as one of the most exciting outside centres in world rugby, but we go back way before that to understand his journey from gap year teacher in Cape Town to Test match try-scorer. Huw’s story is anything but ordinary.

We discuss his unique pathway to professional rugby, including how a gap year in South Africa unexpectedly became the launchpad for a career at the highest level. Huw reflects on his time with the Stormers, the influence of key coaches, and how a Wikipedia listing led to his Scotland call-up.

We dive into:

• Why Huw went to South Africa instead of a UK academy
• How he went from Bishops school to playing Super Rugby for the Stormers
• Facing Ma’a Nonu & Conrad Smith in his first professional game
• Getting spotted by Scotland via a flag on Wikipedia
• Announcing himself on the international stage with a double vs Australia
• Dealing with injury setbacks and missing out on the 2019 World Cup
• His time with Harlequins and adapting to English rugby
• The mental and physical routines that support his elite performance
• Recovery methods including saunas, magnesium, ice baths, and supplements like electrolytes
• Balancing strength, skills, and speed work throughout the season
• Match day mindset, routines, and pre-game preparation
• What it will take for Scotland to win a Six Nations Championship

We also talk about longevity, off-field habits, and what a successful final chapter of his career looks like — including the touring with the British & Irish Lions in Australia.

If you're interested in sport, mindset, and the finding your own path to success, you’ll get so much from Huw’s honesty in this conversation.
