September 08, 2025 Back on the horse, with another new look!
In this episode we sit down with two leading figures in Norwegian rugby. First, we hear from a trailblazer who was thrown into the sport headfirst—tasked with not only starting her own team but coaching it too. She shares her incredible journey from discovering rugby to representing Norway at the highest level, all while competing for her country in more than one sport (including a surprising one you won’t expect!). We’re also joined by our good friend of the pod, Rugby Idar, who talks us through his call-up to the national team and his mission to help grow rugby across Norway.

The men just ended a 7-year drought with a massive win over Estonia, and the women are about to play their first home game in over 15 years – facing Latvia in Oslo.

May 03, 2025 Rugby for 1 year olds?!
In this heartwarming episode, we chat with Nich Gulris from CSR Rugby Club in Copenhagen, the mastermind behind Toddler Rugby – a new initiative that introduces children aged 1–5 years to the fun of rugby through soft play and mini rugby balls. What started as a playful experiment has now grown to over 100 toddlers per week, creating a vibrant community of young players and parents. With Denmark rolling it out nationwide and even World Rugby taking notice, this could be the blueprint for youth rugby engagement worldwide. If you're passionate about grassroots growth and youth development, this is a must-listen.
