A Rugby Life

With the historic announcement on Friday, October 9th that rugby has been readmitted into the Olympics, I joined the staff and players of USA Rugby to celebrate the news. Speaking with USA National players Mark Bokhoven and Jen Sinkler as well as USA Rugby Mens 7s head coach Al Caravelli, I gained insight into their rugby beginnings and what the announcement means to the USA rugby community.

In this episode, I talk with Phaidra Knight, one of the USA's top female players. She has 25 caps playing for the US National side and is a regular in the Premier League, playing for New York Rugby Club. We talk about her rugby career, life on the National team, and her future ambitions.

In this episode, I sit down with Scott Martell, founder and CEO of Rugby Ink (www.rugbyink.com), a premier rugby design agency & custom team-wear supplier in the US who also plays for NYAC rugby club, a New York based Super League club.

The second part of a two part podcast on Play Rugby USA. In this podcast, I interview Play Rugby's Mark Griffin, the founder and president, and Christian Mayo, Director of Programs.

The first part of a two part podcast on the Mayors cup, a youth flag rugby tournament held in NYC and the organization behind it, Play Rugby USA.
