Andrew Lockwood - The Andy Army

Andy Lockwood grew up in PNG and the UK. In 1999 he travelled to Perth to play some rugby and managed to get selected for the WA U19s.

On return to the UK he attended University before starting a career in the British Army. Rugby playing was put on hold for various periods as deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan were on the cards.

In 2015 Andy started a part-time internship at Bath Rugby Academy within the Performance team. At the end of the internship in 2018 he was left with no involvement in rugby after 30 years in the game as a player and coach. This motivated him to start The Rugby Outreach Project and Rugby Vacancies.

The Rugby Outreach Project provides free fitness and Strength & Conditioning advice to teams around the world. From international to grassroots level. 170+ teams have been assisted over the last three years.

Rugby Vacancies connects coaches and rugby people to jobs around the globe. He has previously assisted the Crusaders and Fiji with their coach recruitment.

We talk about these exciting ventures in Rugby and their ongoing success, as well as his recruitment of rugby players into the WWE, world of wrestling. We discuss his 17 years in the British Army, and his thoughts on the game of rugby in Northern Hemisphere.
