Ep. 20 Olympic 7s: An Introduction and Overview with Guest Conor Fennell

Ep. 20 Olympic 7s: An Introduction and Overview. Friends, once every 4 years we are greeted to loads of random ass sports every hour of the day for a glorious few weeks. In 2016, Rugby joined the party. But not Rugby like you remember it, sleek, fast, shorter rugby. 7s is all the bullshit of Rugby with none of the difficult to explain set pieces or pundits complaining everytime someone kicks the ball. It's different. It's hip. To bring us up to speed we have invited guest (and probably 30% of our listenership) Conor Fennell to catch us up to speed with what to expect as we bandwagon on to Rugby's sleek little brother. Filled with genuine insights, 5 a-side analogies, Come Dine with me references (what a sad little life Jane) we unpack and give a road map of what to look for and which players to tell your mates you knew they were great before the olympics. It's a fun one. Thank you to Eoin Brosnahan for the theme music. Thank you to Becky Cheatle for the cover art. Please like and share this pod with your friends/lovers/enemies and acquaintances.
