Europe's brand new rugby competition: Ascent Rugby | Henry Blunck
In this episode, we speak to Henry Blunck, one of the founders of Ascent Rugby, about an ambitious new competition aiming to change the landscape of the game in Central Europe.
With the inaugural festival taking place in Frankfurt tomorrow, Blunck explains why Ascent Rugby was created, the challenges facing the sport in Germany and the wider region, and how a unique festival format could give developing clubs more opportunities to test themselves against stronger opposition.
We also discuss the growing interest in rugby across Germany, why that has not yet translated into improved performances on the pitch, and the long-term vision for a competition that has already attracted interest from clubs across Europe and beyond.

The ultimate Tier 2 rugby journeyman | Karl Savimaki
Episode two with Tier 2 rugby journeyman and podcast legend Karl Savimaki is here.
Karl takes us through the next chapter of his remarkable coaching career, including his hugely successful spell with Sweden and the many stops along the way that have made him one of the most well-travelled coaches in Tier 2 rugby.
He has already joined us to discuss the earlier stages of his career, and if you haven't heard that episode yet, it is well worth a listen. This time, we pick up where we left off and dive into some of the stories, challenges and experiences from his journey since then.
Note: Karl has since left the Australian job he was in when this episode was recorded. He left the role between recording and publication.
