NEW YORK, NY – You can tell it’s serious when a company buys out a bar and invites quests in for food and drink – for free. And by serious, we mean professional. And professionalism is just what the Aviva Premiership, AEG Rugby, NBC Sports & Friends of The British Council are bringing to rugby in America. Thankfully, we got to be a part of the fun at NYC’s Rugby Pub, the Pig N Whistle on West 36th Street, in our first two (of many) Rugby Pubcasts from over favorite haunt’s Sin Bin Studio.
In the interviews below, the Premiership’s Wayne Morris and AEG Rugby’s Donal Walsh talk about:
–Newcastle Falcons vs Saracens at Talne Energy Stadium in Philadelphia on September 16th.
–Premiership Rugby linking up with AEG Rugby,
-NBC Sports raising the bar for rugby coverage in America
–Clinics/Camps for Coaches and Players
-Cool Events
–Trips to Win
-The future of Premiership Rugby in America.
Special Thanks to:
–Erin Sullivan, Dallen Stanford and the Friends of The British Council.
–Des O’Brien & Cormac McCormack of the Pig N Whistle on West 36th
–Ryan Ginty of Next Level Rugby
–Jonny Lewis of Jonny Lewis Films.
