About this episode

Guy Pepper shares his journey with juvenile idiopathic arthritis and his rugby career.

Five nights in hospital with juvenile idiopathic arthritis is a blur for Guy Pepper; he was just seven years old. The Bath Rugby forward reveals how, despite ongoing steroid injections, his diagnosis only strengthened his drive to compete. Pepper also discusses being taught and coached at school by his dad, rooming with Henry Pollock on England duty, and the truth behind his love of clothes shopping. In this podcast you will also hear from his father Martin, brother Max of Bristol Bears, and England team mates Henry Arundell and Joe Heyes.
