3/16/23 B-Side Bois w/ Niko Felice of the West Des Moines Wombats

Niko Felice stops by the Wombat Den to talk with the Bois about his vast experiences with rugby! He started his career in high school with Southeast Polk High School under the guidance of Iowa Rugby Union Hall of Fame member and coach, Brent Wheeler "Cope," then continued in college at the University of Northern Iowa then finished at the University of Iowa. As a senior men's player, he played for the Bremer County Bucks and helped in the foundation of the West Des Moines Wombats. Niko also coached Cedar Falls High School Boys' Rugby while in college as well as a 2 year stint in New Zealand in Wellington with Johnsonville Rugby Football Club and then on contract with Tairua Rugby. We barely scratched the surface the surface, so expect a part two in the future, but this interview is full of great stories and insight on how Niko has seen different rugby clubs operate.
