Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Run Pass or Kick with Robbie Gussak
Q: How hard is it to coordinate the players to say like, hey, we're going to make a video?
Initially, Robbie found it challenging to motivate players to create content, but this semester, more teammates have shown interest in participating in fun videos.
Run Pass or Kick with Robbie Gussak
Q: What inspired you to become the social media manager for the team?
Robbie was inspired by his background in digital media and photography, wanting to combine both his sport and his major.
The Rugby Rant - Episode 220
Q: Will smaller numbers of games lead to less money going to players?
This is concerning as players may choose to take day jobs instead of pursuing a rugby career if salaries are insufficient across fewer games.
The Rugby Rant - Episode 220
Q: Is a 10 to 12 regular season game schedule enough?
Most agree that a minimum of 15 to 16 games is essential for player experience and development towards the World Cup.
The Rugby Rant - Episode 220
Q: Should the MLR consider Canadian players as foreign players?
There are valid points on both sides; some argue collaborative North American rugby should consider this while others point towards maintaining competitive quality within MLR.
