DNVR Rugby Podcast: A Conversation With USA Rugby Hall of Famer Brian Vizard

Colton Strickler kicks off the show with ‘The Breakdown’ by talking the lull in MLR news, the weekly Super Rugby update, and the upcoming Premiership Rugby and PRO14 fixtures. After ‘The Breakdown’, Colton chats with USA Rugby Hall of Famer Brian Vizard about his rugby career, how he got into broadcasting, and his work with the U.S. Rugby Foundation. After the conversation with Brian, Colton assigns some required reading and closes the show with ‘The Loop.’
