Bernard Jackman, who has represented Ireland in rugby, spoke to The Sports Editor about his playing career as he represented Connacht, Leinster and Sale Sharks. Bernard has given a lot back to the game as he has coached a number of teams and has also focused on bringing awareness of the effects of concussion into the game.
Bernard touched on the influence Warren Gatland had on him as a player. We also discussed the amount of South Africans playing rugby in the Pro 14.
(Please note that we spoke during the week of the Pro 14 semi-finals hence some referrals are made about the event).
