Why Spain Should Be in the Six Nations ft. Rugby Through The Leagues

The most attended game of club rugby ever was held not in England, Ireland, France or South Africa. It was held in Barcelona, Northern Spain. When people talk about growing the game of rugby union, they often mention USA or Georgia or further afield in Asia, but they never mention Spain. I was joined by Carl Dawson to get the inside story of the rise of Spanish Rugby and ask what is stopping the Spanish from becoming a rugby superpower. Carl talks me through the rugby scene in Spain from the club game, through women's and sevens to the men's team recent incredible success in Rugby Europe. He tells me the star players and the tactics the Spanish used to overcome their fierce rivals Portugal. We then discuss the next steps for Spanish rugby both in terms of the World Cup and a possible inclusion in the Six Nations.
