Roots Ruck Riot

This week we are joined by Kyle Richards and Nick Gale from the Llanelli Wanderers, our first and long overdue Welsh team. Plying their trade a stones throw away from where Stradey Park once stood, we caught up with the Wanderers on their cup campaign trail when they were a win away from a Final at the Principality Stadium. Llanelli was where I fell in love with rugby and I'm really glad the guys could join me.
