In this episode of Into the Unknown, host Jeremy Swick sit down with rising rugby star Aly Cunningham to talk about her wild and winding path through the sport—from chasing her friends in her dad's tag league as a kid in Milwaukee to suiting up for the USA Falcons and heading off to Brazil.
We unpack how the rugby world is both massive and tight-knit, the moment she chose rugby over competitive ski racing, and what it felt like stepping into a senior-side international jersey. Aly’s story is one of trust, persistence, and not being afraid to go all-in on what sets your soul on fire. Plus, we shout out the Milwaukee Barbarians, Atlanta Old White, and the lowkey magic of rugby that build lifelong friendships.
Whether you’re a rugby lifer or just chasing what’s next in your own life, Aly’s journey will hit home.
