Former rugby and NFL star Christian Scotland-Williamson joins us to talk about his accidental but completely intentional journey to the Bar Council via two elite collision sports. We start with his unrewarded origins in rugby (5:06) until the day he answered a chance call at University before a shift at a part time job. "You beat book". Education has always been Christian's thing in sport and his life. We heard early stories about how he was treated as a big Black boy in school and how he overcame that treatment thanks to his upbringing (16:52). We touch on his experience with racism in rugby (22:29) and how it is framed as an integration issue before we talk about THE viral tackle (29:15) that changed his life. It led to moving to America into an NFL environment and trying to make it in something entirely new (38.26). Christian's time in the US coincided with the murder of George Floyd (50:14). He went into what it felt like being in a team coached by Black NFL leader Mike Tomlin at that time. Then came career three and the law (56:30). Christian went into how he has been able to make his family’s sacrifices worthwhile (1:00:06) before we finish on the Dele Alli interview(1:02:35) his experience and talk about the importance of family units for young Black men.
