Rahul Bose’s vision for Indian rugby’s future 🇮🇳 – Part 1

India’s rugby scene is evolving at a remarkable pace: from 322 districts playing the sport, up to 120,000 players, and a growing women’s sevens team ranked sixth in Asia, to the ambitious launch of the Rugby Premier League aiming for Olympic qualification. Can Rahul Bose steer this transformation—building grassroots pathways from rural fields to Olympic pools? Join David Pembroke as he sits down with Rahul Bose, President of Rugby India, to unpack the nation's bold plans in this two-part episode: how rural grit and poverty-driven players are shaping a new rugby ethos, the critical role of infrastructure and coaching, and the strategic push to get India into Brisbane 2032. Discover why rugby’s unique physicality, cultural independence from cricket, and a new league might just accelerate India’s journey into the Olympic spotlight. PLUS: how grassroots talent, innovative league formats, and government partnerships could transform India into a rugby powerhouse. Ask Eddie Jones and Ewen McKenzie anything!
