Coach Kev Toonen and rugby great, Owen Franks join the show to discuss the resilience of the sport during the recent lockdown. It’s a testament to the dedicated players and supporters that teams made massive sacrifices to keep the sport alive. Maybe it’s also why Kev Toonen says that his team has such high standards for character. Teams win when they play with teammates they respect.
