Podcast Episode 18: Paul Holmes (Fitness and 7s Guru, 1823 RFC)

In the first episode of the new year, I talk with Fitness and 7s Guru, Paul Holmes.  We talk about Paul's early rugby career which took him around the globe from South Africa, to the UK, and the Middle East.

Now settled with his family in the US, Paul shares how he's using his rugby and fitness knowledge to help develop young American rugby talent in Ohio via 1823 RFC and Tiger Rugby.

You can listen to the podcast on the player below or head on over to iTunes, our Facebook page, or via Feedburner.

Partnership with the Bournemouth 7s Festival!

I am pleased to announce a new partnership with one of the UK's hottest rugby events, the Bournemouth Sevens Festival.

The Bournemouth 7s has been described as a unique mix between Dubai Rugby Sevens and Glastonbury with a over 20,000 people attending and 380 teams competing over the festival weekend.
This years festival will take place on Friday 1st – Sunday 3rd June, 2012 and is shaping up to be one of the must attend events of the summer.

As part of the partnership,  I'll be providing coverage of the festival which will include a special podcast series featuring interviews and features, plus I will be giving away 4 weekend tickets to one lucky rugby lifer (more details soon!)

A spot of rugby action at the festival

With the tour season coming up, I'd love to hear from all US teams/players that are (or are considering) attending this years event.  If you are or know of folks who are, drop me a line.
Any American team/player attending will get  featured in my festival coverage!

For more details on the event and how to attend, head on over to their website at  bournemouthsevens.com.   Need more convincing? Then check out the official festival video below!

Happy New Year!

Wishing everyone a very happy new year and all the best in 2012!
