  • Do You Remember the Goat's Name?
    2022/07/05

    This week Dave and Sacheen welcome another legend of BRFC, Brendan Ridge. Captain for as many years as we can remember, Brendan is the epitome of love for club and sport. With the help from Brendan's super human memory, we talk all thing Super League. Clearly unfazed by his countless head wounds (we think he wins the award for most in a career), Brendan reminds us in perfect detail of the glory days  traveling and playing together in the Super League.  As only a true Bostonian can, Brendan delivers an epic first 15 of Boston sports legends.

    For episode 9,  Dave and Sacheen welcome one of our favorite number 9's and former BRFC captain, Sean Treacy. Born in the U.S.A. to Irish parents, Sean had the unique experience of learning to play and love rugby in Ireland, while also being able to play as a USA Eagle in the U-19 and U-20 World Cup. Today's lesson: you never know when or from who the big opportunities are going to come. Listen as we discuss the duality of playing in Ireland and the USA simultaneously, the different ways in which you can love the game, and where rugby stands as a sport in Ireland today.  While we cover many of Sean's accomplishments on the field, we didn't have a chance to talk about what a great teammate he was off the field. Whether he was needed to move a 500 lb safe or deliver Sacheen's baby in his Jeep on the side of the Mass. pike, Sean was always on call.

  • That's the Way the Cookie Crumbles
    2022/05/23

    This week Dave and Sacheen are joined by current BRFC rugby player Kaleb Herd, aka Cookie. Sacheen's quest to find the reason sport affects us so deeply may be answered in this conversation. Cookie's desire to better himself for the good of the collective and his thoughts on what rugby means to him are truly inspirational. To say this conversation touched us, is an understatement. Listen in as Cookie discusses his opportunity with the New England Independents, six degrees of Tim O.C. and a Star Wars first fifteen.

  • Because You Asked
    2022/05/09

    This week Dave and Sacheen get emotional as we say farewell to a BRFC legend, Ed O'bare. Fast Eddie stops by to discuss super strength, scrum mechanics, rugby in Kenya and his multiple runs with Boston Rugby. At 46, Ed is an inspiration to all, not just rugby players. Ed recently announced his retirement from the Boston Rugby Football Club, and to say that he will be missed is an understatement. Another long one, but we couldn't cut a single word. Thanks for everything Ed...until next time!

  • F is for Family
    2022/05/02

    It's been an emotional weekend with BRFC ending their playoff run. While the sting is still strong, this episode reminds us that in the end the game is about much more than wins and losses. Glory comes in the moments in between where you find your chosen family. This week Dave and Sacheen chat with Jack Knivett, one of our favorite people and the biggest fan of rugby we know. We talk a whole lot about the history of rugby and the intricacies of Dave's line out form. Come for the lessons, stay for the accent.  It's a long one but after the highs and lows of this weekend, we did not have it in us to edit much because this conversation made us happy. 

    A huge congratulations to BRFC for an incredible season!
