Ben Ryan is an English rugby union coach who is best known for coaching the Fiji sevens team to a gold medal in sevens rugby at the 2016 Rio Olympics. As Fiji's sevens coach from 2013 to 2016, he guided the team to their first-ever Dubai 7's title and set the record of tournament titles won by a Fiji Sevens coach with nine. The gold medal was the first-ever medal won by Fiji at any Olympics.  Fiji is one of the most underfunded and under-resourced countries on the planet and in this episode Ben shares:  How to create a culture around “The Standard you walk past is the Standard you become” Bens love for each and every one of the players and the lengths he went to build rapport and trust with each of the players Skill acquisition, attention to detail and how he fine-tuned the Fijian offload game to be the deadliest on the planet Ben explains how he overcame his ego when he was England to focus on team success, not individual success Building lifelong relationships with his manager Ropate Kauvesi and Captain Osea Kolinisau to take the team to gold in Rio.

REPLAY INTERVIEW: With World Rugby having issued new changes to the laws involving the breakdown, Under The Sticks digs out the interview we did with Ben Ryan, the coach of the Olympic winning Fiji Sevens. The dangers to player safety and to the competition of possession, how laws are applied differently in defence and attack all come under the microscope. It's silently become a real hot topic in rugby and the latest news makes this chat as relevant as ever. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Great guest on the pod this week in Ben Ryan, the Olympic gold medal winning coach of the Fiji Sevens, on why the breakdown is in need of real review for fear of catastrophic injury. Backchat appears to be on the rise, but what can be done between players and referees, we take a look at a busy weekend of Guinness PRO14 and address the on-going Coronavirus situation plus there is Listener Questions - but we ask, which PRO14 team has their own theme music? And, yes, we played it! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ben Ryan dives deep with his usual encapsulating style about his time with both England and Fiji Sevens culminating in Olympic Gold. He talks about how these two teams were training for and playing the same game but in a very different way. A must listen for any sports fan as well as a rugby fan, about a truly great bloke who has crafted his storytelling, similies, and metaphors.
