#14 Football vs Rugby: Stars, Money, Pressure & Injuries - Fozcast Meets Rugby Pod

from The Rugby Pod · host The Ringer

This week’s bonus episode is a special Rugby Pod × Fozcast crossover as Ben Foster and Tom Ochoa join Jim, Biggs and Goodey for a brilliant conversation that digs into what really separates, and connects, elite football and rugby. The lads compare the financial realities of both sports, how contracts work, the demands of training and match preparation, and the very different ways each game handles injuries, stars, player welfare and fandom. They open up on their journeys growing up in academies, the pressure to perform, and the star players who shaped the sports. It’s an open, honest and funny chat, with the lads learning about each other’s world. A fantastic listen. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
