Podcast: Episode 135 – Oceans Apart
This week’s podcast is being split into two episodes discussing the issues raised in the Oceans Apart documentary currently available through Amazon Prime.
In the first part of the podcast, Iain Hay talks to documentary film maker and CEO of Pacific Rugby Players Welfare, former Samoa International Dan Leo. Iain and Dan discuss the issues raised in the film as well as solutions which would provide a level playing field for Tier 2 nations and more protections for Pacific Island players.
The documentary is a warts and all look at the significant contribution Pacific Island players have made to Rugby Union since its inception as well as their treatment at the hands of World Rugby and their own home Unions. We’ll be discussing the issues raised in the documentary in part 2 of this week’s podcast which you can watch live at 8:30pm on Wednesday evening or listen back later.
