The Third Half Weekly
Rugby rivals who became mates, £80k cocaine comebacks, wooden hope in Central Station, and why the first five minutes matter more than the full 80.
TTH Blueprint Episode 15: Andy Gomarsall & Bryan Redpath
England’s 2003 World Cup winner and Scotland’s 60-cap captain. Two scrum halves who spent careers studying each other now sharing the real stuff. Mental exhaustion on Lions tours, why athletes make brilliant hires, and Bryan’s advice: “Just get that first five minutes out the way.”

From Australia Under-21 rugby to high-functioning addict spending £80k a year on cocaine. One of TTH's most powerful conversations yet. The 3:22am hotel room awakening that changed everything. Rugby culture, emotional suppression, and why asking for help is strength. Kent’s message: Be brave. Pick up the phone.

A Gig, a Train, and a Reminder We Still Need
Glasgow Central Station. A sculpture made from Scottish spruce. Arms raised, deliberately imperfect. ‘The Beacon of Hope’ doesn’t shout—it just stands. After a charity gig, heading south carrying sound and stillness. “The streets will be full again.” Sometimes the work is smaller: standing still, looking up.

Forward this to the mate who needs Kent’s story, the colleague who thinks asking for help is weakness, and the scrum half who still hasn’t forgiven you for that intercept in 2003.
