In the Sheds Jermaine Ainsley

Jordan chats with Highlander and former Wallaby, Jermaine Ainsley. The prop talks through his childhood in Cromwell (3:09) and what led to him shifting to Perth following a promising career at high school (08:25). After settling into his new home, he went on to represent the Western Force and Melbourne Rebels before playing test rugby for the green and gold. Ainsley explains what went into pledging his allegiance to Australia and how weird it was facing the haka on debut (17:45). His time across the ditch came to end in 2020 having signed for the Highlanders for the following year. An ankle injury put his first game for the Landers on hold until this season, but he credits the setback with pushing him to make the most of the opportunities he had moving forward (24:56).
