Ruby Tui’s incredible journey from domestic abuse survivor to Rugby World Cup winner continues to inspire and The Honourable Artillery Company RFC, based in the heart of London, carries a rich history dating back to the 1500s.
Ted Hill, a Worcester man through and through, shares his story, and we meet the Dorchester Gladiators, a social club that went on tour and ended up playing a televised 'friendly' against Romania’s top club in a national. We travel to Toulouse, the spiritual home of French rugby, where we witnessed Samoan legend Joe Tekori’s emotional goodbye to the sport.
Alex Goode’s career inspiration comes not from rugby, but from the badminton courts, while at Holt RFC, 91-year-old touch rugby player Ken Swallow welcomes newcomers and knows where to find the best sausage sandwich in Norfolk. Mark Atkinson talks about his rise from double rejection at Sale and Wasps, and Old Streetonians, a 'fake' old schools’ club, was born from a coin toss that decided rugby over amateur dramatics.
