We return after a brief hiatus! On this episode with those American rugby fools, it's time for some real gripes, so either plug your ears or skip ahead. We get into everything from what's being valued incorrectly and what the answers for rugby growth are (spoiler alert, it's not R:360). Yes, we tuck into round 5 of the Prem a bit too and get into superlatives for the week. Kick back and enjoy friends, this one is pretty juicy.

Season 8- Episode 4- Rugby Therapy (Prem Round 5)

On this episode of Coach Cast, I tackle the common misconception that being an exceptional athlete automatically translates to being a great coach. There are some really famous examples and there's a generally good measure of how you can tell if someone will or won't be a good coach after they are done.

Season 8- Weekly Fantasy Corner (Prem Round 2)

It's those silly fellas that talk about rugby from a country that doesn't seem to care about it nearly as much as they do. On this episode, we are off to Twickenham for both the bronze medal final and THE final, looking back at all the action including, how England were both excited and relieved by the final whistle. Also, we are LIVID with Prem Rugby and their decision to give Flo Rugby their broadcast rights here in the States. Eventually, we tuck into the opening weekend of the Prem including the action from the newly minted Red Bulls and the chaos at the Garden's, everything in between too. Kick back, get a drink and join us friends!

Season 8- Episode 2- Brunt of The Issue (RWC '25 Final, and Prem Round 1)

In this episode I dive into the topic of certifications and seminars. I talk about how certifications, while useful, don’t automatically equate to better pay or improved results. I'll tie that to seminars as well. Take in new knowledge, do not overhaul your entire coaching philosophy after each event.

 First XV Coach Cast Episode 18- Certs for Certs Sake

It is the OFFICIAL DEBUT of Season 8 for those American rugby knuckleheads. On the debut we start by talking State of the (Rugby) Union here in the states. Have all the programs backslid, bar 1? Is there any hope, maybe a bit after the men qualified for RWC '27? We then turn our attention to the action in England, looking back at the happenings of RWC '25 so far AND the big final at HQ between the hosts and our friendly neighbors to the north (GO CANADA). Finally, it's time for a preview of the Prem (kicking off Thursday...just stupid), we go up and down the teams, including the newly rebranded Red Bulls and give our thoughts on the season to come. This, so much more, the banter you'd expect and the fools to go along. Grab a drink, kick back and join us!
