Nick Schonert joined Warriors from Super Rugby side the Cheetahs in the summer of 2014.

Having established himself as a first-team regular from the outset, the tighthead prop made over 100 appearances for Warriors in the Premiership.

Sharkey has quickly established a reputation as one of the best scrummagers in the top flight and has regularly been on the cusp of England selection.

He played for an England XV against the Barbarians at Twickenham and included and in the build-up to the 2019 Rugby World Cup.

In today's call, we discuss a huge amount of things from his own journey from South Africa to wearing the Red Rose of England and hear his view on hard work, time, commitment and facing up to the work needed to progress and improve. 

Absolutely loved having a chat with the big man and I feel a front-row rugby podcast in the making, without any further wait, here, is Nick Schonert
