This week we have Türkiye's captain and all-time leading try scorer, Mert Zabci.
An absolutely brilliant guest who had plenty of stories about his own career and what it is like playing for a country that many won't have heard about in a rugby sense before.
Born and raised in London, he also experienced not being allowed to play for his country in 2017, when his federation banned non-domestic players based from playing.
Also, find out which Wallabies player watched him put on a MOTM performance in Norway.
