@ivan_magomu@JonCorbett17@UgandaRugby@piratesrugbyUG@kawowosports@ErnestAkor What a privilege and honour to interview an active test captain on the show and to hear what the game of rugby is like in your part of the world!
Also, good luck to the @UgandaRugby players involved in Olympic qualification this weekend. I hope to see you in Paris next year!
Major thanks to @ivan_magomu (@UgandaRugby test captain) and @RoarRugbyAU analyst @haribaldijones for appearing on the show and to @GeoffParkes9 for arranging the 2nd interview.
Great chats about top level rugby beneath the RWC in Africa ๐บ๐ฌ๐ณ๐ฆ๐๐
Ok time for a special episode on African rugby!
Firstly, @UgandaRugby test captain @ivan_magomu on RWC qualifying and his hopes for the game, followed by @haribaldijones of @RoarRugbyAU telling us how Namibia got there and what to expect in the future.

Ok folks, RWC is around the corner and we're back to bring it to life.
Have a listen to this episode about the rapid explosion of rugby in South America, starting with CEO of @brasilrugby Mariana Mine ๐ง๐ท, followed by the RWC prospects of ๐ฆ๐ท๐จ๐ฑ๐บ๐พ with @AmericasOval.
Club Rugby Grand Final day in Melbourne.
If/when it is announced as the host of the RWC 2027 Final, let's hope it's given credit for its existing rugby heartbeat ๐ ๐๐๐
Hey, hey, and hey! New weekend and the Euro T2 sides are back on the pitch
@GeorgianRugby welcomes the "Eagles" ๐บ๐ธ
@RugbyRomania visits Italy ๐ฎ๐น
What to expect? Predictions? Players?
Let's dive a bit into what the games will offer
2 takeouts for both @FIFAco & @WorldRugby from the ongoing Women's World Cup:
- Don't be afraid of new/emerging teams (๐ฏ๐ฒ๐ฒ๐ฆ๐ฟ๐ฆ๐จ๐ด๐ณ๐ฌ) eliminating traditional powerhouses (๐ฉ๐ช๐จ๐ฆ๐ง๐ท๐ฎ๐น);
- 32 teams is clearly superior to 48, 20 or 12. Don't be afraid to grow & don't be greedy.
For fans interested in the growth of rugby in Africa, here's a fascinating interview with Rugby Afrique's president filmed during last week's intriguing u-20 Trophy in Kenya (where Spain beat Uruguay in the final). @francisaac87@AmericasOval@raysrugby@T2Rugby@portaldorugby
Rugby Afrique president Herbert Mensah on funding rugby:
We need investment from govt; we need to deal with old debts and reposition internally.

Great night out with the @StanSportRugby crew to celebrate the Bledisloe. Big thanks to the talent: Mils Muliaina, @MorganTurinui, @TimHoran12 and broadcast superstar @seanny202 for taking time out to chat ๐๐๏ธ๐๐ฆ๐บ๐ณ๐ฟ๐ซ๐ท with us!
@AGSAuPodcast Assume it was an accident but they have come up with 3 QBs with varying degrees of success which adds to it. I reckon Jordan Love would be an interesting guy to follow
How cool is this! ๐จ๐ด๐๐
WXV taking real shape now but especially keen to see Colombia who have given their women's program a real go despite being relatively new to rugby.
They just missed out on qualifying for last year's RWC and are back for another crack! Vamos!
