Lawrence Dallaglio opens up about coping with personal loss, his inspiring mother, and his work helping teenagers turn their lives around, and we also follow Caldy’s journey as they make it to rugby’s second tier, capturing the village club’s remarkable rise.
The Red Roses camp at Bisham Abbey offers exclusive insights from Mo Hunt, Marlie Packer, Simon Middleton, and other stars as they prepare for their next challenge. We also meet George Kruis in Japan as he reflects on his decision to retire from rugby and the end of his England career and agents share their experiences, from high-stakes negotiations to managing player interests in the modern era.
We dive into the rich history of Aspatria, the Cumbrian club that once shocked Wasps, and explore some of the surprising costs involved in their unique farming community. Jimmy Gopperth reflects on his New Zealand upbringing, his move to Leicester, and why he’s still pushing forward at nearly forty. Finally, we look back at the USA’s unexpected triumph at the 1991 Women’s Rugby World Cup and the rise of rugby in Saudi Arabia.
