Sam isn’t your average rugby player. As Wales’ most capped captain and the British & Irish Lions most successful captain in their history, Sam is one of the most exciting players to have retired from the game in the last 10 years.

Sam has represented his country as a player and team captain at all levels; as captain of the under-18’s, under-19’s and under-20’s and the senior side. Sam has earned many accomplishments and broken a range of records during his career becoming the world’s youngest ever team captain when he led his team to the 2011 Rugby World Cup.

In total, his glittering international career saw him pick up 74 caps, in 49 of which he was captain. He won two Six Nations titles and a Grand Slam, and he ended his career as an undefeated Lions Test captain, having led the team in Australia in 2013 and in New Zealand in 2017. Having announced his retirement in July 2018, Sam called time on a staggeringly successful career. A prolific openside and blindside flanker, Warburton ended his career as a legend of both the Wales rugby team and the Cardiff Blues.

Off the field, Sam's influence extends beyond the pitch. He's a contracted pundit with TNT, BBC (6 Nations), and ITV (Rugby World Cup 2019 & 2023), offering expert analysis and commentary. Additionally, he shares his insights as a columnist for the Times/Sunday Times.

Sam's commitment to rugby doesn't stop there; he served on Wayne Pivac's coaching staff with Wales until 2020 and currently sits on the board of his former club, Cardiff Rugby.

He also runs his own business, the SW7 Academy fitness programme, which trains athletes of all levels. Beyond sports, Sam is a published author, podcast host, and entrepreneur, embodying versatility and success both on and off the field.
