7 AGO. 2021 · Today we are very fortunate to be joined by new Irish International and Leinster back row Will Connors.
After a man of the match display on his debut for Ireland in the Autumn, we speak to Will all about that day and the journey he has been on to get there. From training in the Leinster academy, to his childhood inspirations and family heritage. Will talks fondly and reminisces about his debut and how he went out there with freedom and an attitude to enjoy himself.
Wills break through season sadly came to an end early due to a knee injury and so we chat to him about the cruel process of injury lay off and how his progress is going and what he's been doing to try and maximise his potential upon his return. Will also briefly played for Ireland 7's and we chat to him about their meteoric rise in world 7's.
Finally, we felt that we had to ask Will about his opinions on the final test between South Africa and the British and Irish Lions. Who he felt would come out on top, his opinion Warren Gatland's selection and his thoughts on the rest of the series already. Upon reflection clearly Will is probably not one to back your money on when it comes to predictions!
Many thanks to Will, nevertheless, for giving up his time and coming on to speak to us. We loved chatting to him and wish him the best of luck in his future as we believe he is a very exciting prospect to come and expect we will hear lots from him in the future.

19 JUN. 2021 · We're back from our mid season break!
Today we get the inside knowledge of how the cogs turn within the most successful rugby team in the world's environment. Nic Gill has worked with the All Blacks for the last 3 Rugby World Cups and we discuss each in turn. The things that went well, and not so well.
We discuss the bare bones and the slightly more complicated things behind being an S&C coach, as well as the most impressive / funny things seen inside a gym. The current All Blacks squad is set to be announced in the coming days and we discuss what that means for him and how the process changes between cycles.
A slightly different episode to the rest of this season, but we hope you enjoy it as much as we did recording it.

29 MAY. 2021 · Today we're joined by another up and comer of the game. Harlequins and England U18 (hopefully soon U20) Prop Fin Baxter.
Fin talks us through his rise to the game and how he has ended up where he is today. Starting with the source of his love and passion for the game, to his days at Wellington College and the progression he felt there before moving up and into the Harlequins team culminating with his debut against Racing this year.
We also touch on his time with England U18's and the honour he experienced by captaining his country and what he looks from this. It is one hell of a journey for anyone of his age, let alone a tight head prop and we chat to him as well about the difficulties of his position, before moving onto the future and what he thinks lies ahead.
Tune in for what is a fantastic episode with one for the future, and who knows maybe an England international in the future. Many thanks to Fin for jumping on and hope you all enjoy it.

22 MAY. 2021 · Today we are very fortunate to be joined by Rugby United New York's very own Troy Lockyear. Despite having grown up in the UK and going to school here, Troy went to college at Berkley and has stayed out in the states ever since chasing a dream of playing rugby professionally. Now a crucial member in the MLR for New York.
We talk to Troy about his journey to date and how he has got where he is today. We question him about his brief partnership with the French legend Mathieu Basteraud and playing some true legends of the game who are now plying their trade over in the States.
We also chat briefly about his hobbies away from the game. Troy is not only skilled with a rugby ball but also with a pack of cards and we chat all things to do with his magic.
A really enjoyable conversation for both of us, especially Matt who's journey to date is one very similar to Troy's. We hope you enjoy this as much as we did.
15 MAY. 2021 · Episode 3 of the series brings a guest who has applied his trade worldwide on both the World Series Sevens circuit and for his country in XV's. Now he finds himself in the US playing in Washington for Old Glory DC.
Danny Tusitala is a Samoan international who grew up in New Zealand with dreams of playing rugby professionally. It was not all that easy to begin with, however, working as a labourer and playing for his local rugby club it seemed unlikely that he was ever going to make it to the top level of the game. In this episode Danny talks to us about his journey which took him from the bottom to the top. A truly inspirational story which epitomises why so many love this beautiful game. He only needed one opportunity and took it.
It is clear to anyone who listens just how much this all meant to Danny. We also discuss the gruelling nature of the game and the effect it has on players mentally as well as physically. Having struggled himself personally, he tells the bemusing story of how his career stalled due to his own choice.
Matt and I both agreed we have never had an episode quite like this. It's unique in so many ways, thought provoking, emotional, funny, insightful and so many other things. We can't thank Danny enough for coming on and being so open with us and we hope you enjoy it as much as we did.

We chatted all things about his career to begin with, and then got onto the topic of the current All Black's set up. Sean gives his opinion on selection issues, the club game and comparisons between the game now and when he was playing.
It was a fascinating, intellectual and enjoyable half hour for Matt and I and we hope that you enjoy it as we certainly did!
