My guest this week is Heath RFC's Chris Moore.

We talked about:

- Heath RUFC's rampant success in recent seasons.
- How the club is run in a sustainable and fun way.
- Chris's entry into the game at home-town club, Cobh Pirates, in Ireland.
- Transitioning from the back-row into the front row.
- What Chris learned when representing Yorkshire.
- The huge number of clubs in the Calder Valley.
- How Heath is helping kids transition into senior rugby.

This is a laugh-a-minute episode, but it's all chock full with real value. - I hope you enjoy.

Colm and I are former team-mates at Esher RFC and both fully paid up members of the front-row union. He is one of the most interesting and engaging characters that I have encountered in the game and I was very excited to sit down and chat with him.

The interview was recorded in September of 2019 and we shared some stories about playing together, Colm's early rugby days, then really dug deep into the role of business and business people in rugby.

Now, Ben and I have never actually met, but he came with a very strong recommendation from a former team-mate of both of ours Geoff Griffiths. Ben has experienced all different sides of rugby over a lengthy playing career and his story is one that I really wanted to share with you.

This interview was recorded in November of 2019 and we talked about life on the fringes of the professional game and Ben's varied experiences playing in different countries.
