Episode Notes

In our first interview special, we had a chance to talk to Gift Egbelu of the GiftTime Rugby Network. It's definitely a journey, starting with how Gift got into rugby in the first place, how he got into producing rugby content, and how he started the HBCU Rugby Classic. We also get more into the HBCU Rugby Classic, which for the first time will be held in DC at Howard University! We definitely encourage everyone to go in support, with more information and tickets available at https://www.hbcurugbyclassic.com
