Our first returning guest - and there is nobody we would rather it be than Canada's Head Coach Kevin Rouet. It is always a pleasure to chat with Kevin and his knowledge and candor is remarkably refreshing.

This is another jam packed episode and we begin by talking about the WXV as a whole - what did Kevin think of the new format, how good does it feel achieving goals? What is next for the Canadian 15s program?

In instantly out of date chat - we looked at the USports competition and Kevin tole us who has impressed him over the tournament. Sometimes we wonder when this man sleeps with all the rugby he watches and reviews!

Also had a great chat about the World Rugby Dream Team and Rugby Pass' top 50 athletes. Again, the Canadian athletes seem to have been snubbed and it was interesting to chat this through with Kevin. As he said - what more does this team need to do to get some recognition?

There was funding chat and thoughts about growing the game worldwide, how the Lions tour affects the rest of the world, how Kevin would spend the injection of $'s into the Canadian program and what he is looking forward to for Pac 4's. We weren't lying when we said it was a lot!

Enjoy!
