Anthony Mullally Rugby Giant
Leeds Rhinos rugby star speaks about his plant powered performances

David Haye and Venus Williams are two of the A-list stars pioneering the way for a more positive view of plant based athletes, but now there is a new kid on the block.

We spoke to the Leeds Rhinos and Irish international player to find out how moving to a plant based diet has changed his on-pitch performance, the reception in the changing room and his top tips for transitioning to veganism.
