Team sports make great TV but I was born to run alone

It’s always a fun experience to work with the guys behind this show, as they’ve a great grasp of the topics that are interesting to fans and competitors alike.

The show had a major rugby theme following the Six Nations triumph, the big interview was with Joe Schmidt and Gordon D’Arcy was on hand with the trophy. Yet the panel was made up of myself, Shane Lowry and Ken Doherty, all individual sportspeople. The discussion made me think about the differences between individual and team sports, something I get asked about all the time.
