EP 79: LA Giltinis V. NE Free Jacks Ft. Luke White, Darren Coleman, Josh Larsen, and Ryan Martin

MLR Kickoff

With the season less than two weeks away, the smell of Rugby is in the air. Dan and guest host James Paterson dig into one of the tastiest match ups of Opening Weekend. Los Angeles Expansion side the Giltinis versus the New England Free Jacks.

Darren Coleman drops by to talk about the pre-season and the choices made in quick succession which put the Giltinis on Maui and how the team was preparing for the season and New England in their opening match.

Luke White enters his fourth season as a grizzled veteran of Major League Rugby, he goes into detail on his move from prop to lock when he was with Colorado and his willingness to play "wherever the team needs me."

Ryan Martin of the Free Jacks discusses the difficulties of preparing for the season and how he's instilled the preparation mentality of the famed Barbarians FC into his side. Preparing the team to play running rugby when they've been indoors most of the winter has been different.

Josh Larsen stops by for a chat to discuss his approach to his second season with the Free Jacks, his brother Travis playing with San Diego, and who he'd take with him to Mars.
