This week we are joined by Ed Birch from The Nags Charity Barbarians. I am fairly sure they are the sole rugby club to be founded while a group of men pulled a canal boat the length of a marathon, I haven't researched that but I think it's a safe bet. The Nags are a fantastic team who play rugby and undertake various challenges to raise money for Cancer Research UK. This year they are heading to Tewkesbury Rugby Club for a weekend of rugby on the 10th and 11th of May, we would strongly recommend heading down for what is sure to be a brilliant time. We talk all things Nags, challenges and £200,000+ they have already raised.
