Will Genia | Australian and International Rugby Union Legend

How Good Are Humans!

He's played over 100 international rugby union test matches for the Wallabies. He's won a Super Rugby championship with the Queensland Reds, and a Tri-nations and SANZAAR Rugby Championship with the Wallabies. He's also competed in a Rugby Union World Cup final, and captained the Wallabies on four occasions.
This week on the How Good Are Humans podcast, I am speaking with none other than Sanchez William 'Will' Genia, the former Wallabies' starting halfback who represented Australia in rugby union for a decade between 2009 and 2019.
We talk about Will's backstory, which included his journey from Papua New Guinea — his country of birth — to Australia. He talks about his ascension from schoolboys to international rugby, and the work ethic it took to get there. We revisit the highlights and lowlights of his storied career, and how they made an impact upon him personally. We then address Will's future career prospects. We complete the discussion with a fun, rapid-fire round of questions, as well as dialling in a surprise podcast guest.
Will's candid attitude made for an enlightening discussion, particularly concerning the topic of the future of rugby union in Australia, as well as the incidents which have hindered its standing on the world stage and in the public eye.
I hope you enjoy the conversation, and come to see, like I did, how good this human really is.
