Any time representing your country is special, but for Mark Atkinson coming on at Twickenham at the age of 31 felt even more memorable. The Gloucester centre goes in-depth about his change in mindset when playing semi-professional rugby and considering taking a stewarding job at the 2012 Olympics, to focusing on being professional and then representing England. From support from friends and family, to a realisation that he wasn't giving it his all, this is a story about perseverance, determination and not giving up.You will also hear contributions from teammates Raffi Quirke, Ben Youngs and Lewis Ludlam, as well as long term friend Ian Kench.FOLLOW:·        England Rugby Facebook·        England Rugby Instagram·        England Rugby Twitter·        England Rugby TikTok·        O2 Sports Instagram·        O2 Sports Twitter SUBSCRIBE:·        Subscribe to the pod here. BUY:·        Get the latest kits, training and leisure wear from England Rugby StoreAUDIO CREDIT·      With thanks to BT Sport for permission to use their Premiership commentary Hosted on Acast.
