“Only 22 Caps”: Trevor Woodman on Belonging, Sacrifice and Winning a World Cup

Trevor Woodman is a Rugby World Cup winner. One of only 30 Englishmen to win and lift the Webb Ellis Cup.
And yet, if you walked into his house, you wouldn’t know it - he never framed a shirt, and doesn't have anything out that highlights his incredible achievements.
In this wide-ranging and deeply reflective conversation, Trevor opens up about growing up in Cornwall, breaking into professional rugby, feeling like an outsider at Gloucester at first, and the physical toll that ultimately ended his career.
We talk honestly about injuries, ambition, regret, and why chasing “the next thing” can quietly rob you of contentment. Trevor shares why he still describes himself as having “only 22 caps”, why he never did frame an England shirt, and what he learned from watching others chase what they didn’t have.
This is a conversation about reaching the pinnacle of elite sport, yes, but more than that it’s about identity, perspective, and learning when enough really is enough.
A thoughtful, grounded episode with one of rugby’s most quietly impressive figures.

Interviews that might just change your life. And if not…? You’ll probably enjoy them anyway.
While we're all trying to be better versions of ourselves, this podcast asks: 'what's truly possible?'
Project Possible, hosted by me, Rich Leigh, explores this with incredible guests from the world of business, sport, entertainment and academia.
Between the second and third series, I made the decision to go full-time on this show.
I sold my successful 10 year old PR agency after my youngest brother Jordan took his own life. I realised that I needed to run towards passion, purpose and positive impact, and my dream of this being my career.
Possibilists, pull up a pew.
