About this episode

Teddy Draper interviews Gloucester fly-half Charlie Atkinson about his journey in rugby and personal experiences.

Chat about school, rugby and more with Gloucester fly-half Charlie Atkinson. I enjoyed this conversation which includes Charlie taking up football and rugby early in childhood and how football maybe lead to him zeroing in on the fly-half position. Also discuss the sadness of Charlie's first club Wasps going to the wall and Charlie's teenage conflict over whether to become a pro player or continue his studies at university. Charlie is a lovely guy and I'm glad that while it's been a difficult season for Gloucester, it's been one where he's strengthened his claim on the 10 shirt. We also discuss Charlie's debut for England in the USA.
