LW 40: Danny Wilson

Our guest this week is Danny Wilson.  Danny gave up playing rugby after a degenerative back condition in his early 20's meant he had to retire; which meant he focussed on a coaching pathway. Employed the the WRU to grow the game with schools and clubs; he then went to work for Cardiff Blues academy.  He got his big break when London Welsh offered him the forward job in 2008 to work with Martin Jones and the rest is history.  He has worked for three of the Pro 14 regions and coached Wales U20's at two World Cups, including one final and a semi final.  He would have coached Bristol in the Premiership if London Welsh hadn't beaten them in the play offs; so it was a year in the Championship with them; and then three years at Cardiff Blues which included wining the Challenge Cup.  A World Cup with Scotland in Japan as forward coach with Gregor Townsend, before being the current Head Coach of Glasgow Warriors.
