My guest this week is current Minchinhampton RFC player Andy Burfoot.

Andy is still playing at 48 years of age and has had the privilege of playing alongside both of his sons. We chatted about all the great things going on at Minch, including the rapid growth of the Women’s section, their remarkable and truly unique clubhouse and the influence of their famous royal member.

This is an awesome episode - I hope you enjoy.

My guest this week is a rugby coach of many teams and England Police RUFC front-rower - Dave Pattimore.

We talked about being a front-row forward, the joy and challenges of playing for England Police, and the differences between coaching kids in the afternoon and experienced adults in the evening.

And we finished by chatting through the England Police tour of South Africa and the rich experiences that Dave had coaching in the townships.

This is a fun, interesting and sometimes deep conversation - I hope you enjoy.

My guest this week is Strathmore RFC part-time business consultant - Nicol Welsh

We talked about Nick’s playing career, the challenges around running the Scottish National Prison Service team with no training time, some brilliant stories from Vets tours, generating a player pathway from minis and juniors to the First XV and loads of incredible insight about how to become a true Community Club, not just a club in the community.

We talked about several mutually beneficial partnerships that resulted in the players eating steak and lobster post-training!

This is a great episode with a ton of usable information - I hope you enjoy.
