Game 13 - Dr Brendan Meany EdD

Dr Brendan Meany EdD talks about how he fell in love with Rugby when he found himself without a team environment after finishing college Football in the USA. He said he thought he was in love until he found his true love of Rugby.

He recounted how he was shocked when he first played Rugby that, not only was he expected to have a beer with the opposition after the game, but that he was handed a beer by the guy that had just broken his nose in that game.

He talked about how Rugby has formed him into the man he is today and taught him that 1 mistake does not define him and that creating safe spaces for people to make mistakes means creativity has a space to flourish.

Leigh and James both struggle through the aches and pains from their game at the weekend, but also realise how much easier it is to support your teammates when you are on the pitch than from the side line.
