So good, we had to run it back twice!

#46: Jackson Garden-Bachop – A Tribute to Connor Garden-Bachop, 100 Caps and Legacy
This episode is dedicated to the late Connor Garden-Bachop, who was taken away way too soon earlier this year and was episode #2 on "Beyond the Surface". This episode was really speciail, Jackson recently tipped 100 games for the Lions, being the only player since Tana Umanga to reach the milestone. Jackson has now signed with Moana Pasifika, joining Ardie Savea and Tana! Jackson is one of the most resilient people I have ever met, after losing his beautiful Mum Sue at a young age and now going through the unimaginable with losing a vibrant soul like Connor, it's hard to put into words what he has gone through. I hope you enjoy this conversation, this one is for you Con – love ya mate! Peace, Love and Positivity..
