Pirate Rugby Pod Episode 1 - Ospreys in London, Kits Deep-Dive, Fiji March On!
from HG Rugby · host Huw Griffin
Welcome to the first ever episode of the Pirate Rugby Podcast. So, who are we and what is the Pirate Rugby Podcast? We are two rugby enthusiasts with a passion for data and talking about the issues that the other podcasters aren’t. Sadly, we have no affiliation whatsoever with the Cornish Pirates. We model ourselves more like the pirate radio stations from the 70s: broadcasting rugby content that others aren't talking about. For instance, did you know that Fiji, Tonga, Japan, Samoa, Uruguay, Chile, Namibia Argentina XV all played international games this weekend? Or that Scottish Rugby kicked off its first ever summer Super Series Championship? Most of these games weren’t shown by broadcasters in the UK or Ireland and many of the major rugby outlets barely covered these games. However, that’s where we come in. We are committed to bringing you all things tier 2 rugby, women's rugby and domestic competitions from around the world that you may never have even heard about. If you’ve never heard of it, we’ll talk about it! We will, of course, cover plenty of tier 1 rugby and we will also focus on rugby media rights and provide an overview of upcoming games and where people can watch them.
