Born in Cameroon, Serge Betsen moved to Paris with his mother and siblings when he was nine.
After being introduced to rugby a couple of years later, Serge would become one of the most feared flankers to ever play the game. He won three Six Nations, nullified legends like Johnny Wilkinson, and received over 200 stitches to his head.
He cites pain, via a broken cheekbone, as the reason he fell in love with the sport, and this episode explores pain in all forms: inflicting it, receiving it, and using the fear of it to make you who you are.
