Rugby World Cup
In this Podcast, we go over both the Rugby League World Cup 2021 from the UK and the Rugby World Cup from New Zealand. We talk about the lack of funding for Women's Rugby in both codes and the fact that there is no North American League for these women to hone their skills.
We look at the NARL and is there any life left in that dream. What about the CCCRL (Canadian Co-operative Championship Rugby), is there life left in that dream, that promise?
We talk about the MLR.

NARL Cancels 2021 Season
Just a note about the cancellation of the upcoming NARL North American Rugby League Season and the ever so quiet CCCRL. Canadian Cooperative Championship Rugby League...if that is the name. No news from the CCCRL is good news. Only time will tell.
Let's get this league up and running. I know there is a pandemic and patience is a virtue, however, any updates would keep the interest of fans.
I speak my mind, these are my opinions and reflect on no other organization.

Are You Union or are You League?
For a fairly new podcast, I have received a lot of feedback about the fact that I should be either Rugby Union or Rugby League, but not both. I am not here to confuse the world, but just to cover the sport.
Yes there is a difference but the rules of the game is something that someone can learn. The pure passion of the sport, the excitement and the commitment from players, managers, and owners is what matters.
Entertainment on the field. What are your thought?

Building Rugby with Guest Steven Mckeown
A chance meeting via social media I came across Steven Mckeown and I could tell by his profile picture that he was a fan of the sport and I needed to get to know him better and just because he shares the same last name with me.
Steven Mckeown is the Chairman of the Timaru Rugby League Outlaws, in New Zealand.
Sit back and listen on how committed that Steven has been to see the formation of the club and to see the participation of over 400 players.
