CARDIFF, WALES - What does Cardiff Rugby have to do with a MLR Weekly show? Plenty. Why? Because a band of savvy, passionate mix of Hollywood producers, businessmen and rugby professionals may have just what the sport needs: outside the box thinking with some Hollywood flare.

One of the principals, Rhino Rugby CEO Reg Clark, speaks candidly and in-depth with host Matt McCarthy about this wild and intriguing venture. 🎖️ALSO INCLUDED: -The College Rugby Corner, with Pat Clifton of the College Rugby Show. 🎥 And don't miss this week's The Rugby Odds: https://rugbywrapup.com/category/the-rugby-odds/ 📢 Share this with fellow rugby fans and community advocates!
