#TFRO - Talking Florida Rugby ... Occasionally

Miami Sharks COO: Mariano Marco
FRU President: Rick Comisky
FCC Commissioner: Kirk Swanner

We all love new, shiny things - even us two salty old farts at TFRO. So this episode we will be focusing on the "new" clubs entering the FRU realm in 2022 (we put new in quotes because one is technically a re-born club). We'll also talk to some folks from the teams making moves between divisions this season.
Guests:

• Treasure Coast Armada - Tristyn Gutman – President
• }St Thomas – Gavin McLeavy - Head Coach
• Pelicans - Graham Knoop – Head Coach 
• Special guest: Cisco Lopez

Florida Youth Rugby Finals
Guest host: Gavin McLeavy

Join us in a special episode of #TFRO to honor our D3 National Champions, the Palm Beach Panthers. After winning the Florida Final in the last minutes of the game, they went on to beat with no doubt every single opponent that came along. They sure have a lot of stories to tell! 

Guests:

Brett Stubbs
Austin Parish 
Devarius Miller

Week 11

The Florida State Finals

As that highly-acclaimed legendary rock band Staind once sang, “it’s been a while”.  But, absence makes the heart grow fonder, so you should all be HYPED for this Sunday’s return of TFRO after a couple of weeks off. We’ll have full playoff previews, as well as chats with the folks from all 3 Tampa Krewe teams and the Boca U19s, coming off their big win over Gibbons. And perhaps we'll even have a chat with referee Tom Ciampa, directly from Ireland! Ladies, please try to contain yourselves.

Guests:
Tom Ciampa - FRRA Referee
Shelby Coleman - Tampa Women
Pascal Felix  - Tampa Youth 
Matt Guest  - Boca Raton U19 Coach
Vicente Allue-Lavin  - Boca Raton U19 Player

After a week off - the O in TFRO does mean occasionally - we make our triumphant return for Week 6, which is really the last crazy-busy week of the season. We’ll review Ruggerfest as well as one of the biggest college men’s games of the season, despite what the standings might say.

Guests: Mike Gomez (FSU, Tallahassee)
Mark Diaz  (Hartford Harpooners)

Week 3 is upon us, and it brings us a monster men’s matchup between Boca and the Tridents. We’ll also talk to the guy behind a new club in Orlando, as well as wrapping up all the rest of the action around the state.

Guests:
Cory FIsher - Orlando Otters
Gonzalo Torres-García - Miami Tridents RFC
Emo Sergile - Boca Raton RFC
Rocky Miyares  - Cardinal Gibbons 
Nick Vickers - Fort Lauderdale Ruggerfest

Temperatures will plummet into the 20s in some places in Florida this weekend, but TFRO will fight through the frost as we bring you a recap of all the Week 2 action and talk to folks thawing out in all corners of the Sunshine (?) State. And perhaps we’ll have some special guests from Spain.
