The Rugby Depot
A Podcast for rugby lovers, it really is that simple....we aim to bring you the latest news, results and interviews from the grassroots of rugby and from those that keep our beautiful game thriving in the community.
In this episode we discuss the shithousery in our game, what place does it have and how we need to improve ourselves.....within reason.
This week i spoke with Dan Ley who is the Senior Coordinator for the Dallaglio Rugby Works charity, discussing the amazing work carried out by their fantastic coaches UK wide, the charity helps "at risk" children from all background using rugby to deliver it....a charity that is doing great work in such difficult environments.

This week I get to speak with up and coming ref Mark Hyde, as he explains his transition into the position from player and the delights of turning up to a rugby club on Match day...….and sometimes getting it wrong!
This week I had the pleasure of catching up with Chris Ware of Swansea Uplands RFC, an interesting view into times of Junior Grassroots rugby, discussing the difficulties of retention, duty of care to the Junior game and how not to take Team videos in the clubhouse.
Ahead of their pre season fundraiser on Thursday 25/08/2022 against South Wales Police Women's Rugby Team, we talk women's rugby with head coach of Dowlais RFC Dragonettes Stacey Tolley, this was a great opportunity to discuss topics from pre season, player retention and the work needed to improve the women's game for all at grassroots levels.
Thank you Stacey and all at Dowlais RFC for the support.
