Steve Devine opens up on life post 40 concussions.

Steve Devine is one of the toughest men to ever pull on a rugby jersey. A proud Aussie who became an All Black, he played more than 70 games for the Blues, represented New Zealand at the highest level, and was known for his fearless competitiveness. But behind that toughness was a brutal reality — years of repeated head knocks that left him battling crippling migraines, light sensitivity, and a fight just to feel human again. In this episode, Steve opens up on: • The 40+ concussions that changed his life • The years of pain and confusion that followed • The miracle treatment that helped him get his life back • How he’s now leading the charge with NeuroCheck, a game-changing concussion scanner • What it’s really like to go from All Black to firefighter • And how he’s found happiness again after everything he’s been through It’s honest, powerful, emotional and at times shocking — the kind of chat that reminds you why this podcast is called What a Lad.
