The school rugby community has been left embarrassed after a massive brawl broke out at a match over the weekend. During Saturday's Noordvaal Cup match between Die Hoërskool Menlopark and Hoërskool Dr E.G. Jansen, a brawl involving players, parents and spectators erupted. The altercation occurred during the first-team clash between the two schools. Breakfast with Martin Bester sports presenter Xola Ntshinga reported that the match was abandoned a few minutes into the second half, with the score at 36–5 in favour of the hosts, Menlopark. Numerous videos of the fight were shared on social media and quickly went viral. Breakfast with Martin Bester spoke to Rigardt Dey, an Afrikaans teacher at Die Hoërskool Menlopark, about the incident. Dey condemned what took place, clearly stating that such behaviour was completely unacceptable.

South Africa and New Zealand - the Springboks and the All Blacks - the Greatest Rivalry. Plenty is spoken of their rugby tactics, their strengths and Weakness on the pitch, but what about behind closed doors? What are South Africans and New Zealanders really like as cultures really like, both in training and away from the rugby's pitch? This week I was joined by rugby coach Ben Pegna who has lived and worked in both of these iconic countries. He lifts the lid on what the rugby cultures are really like in New Zealand and South Africa, drawing heavily on his experience coaching at the Bulls in Pretoria. We then finish the podcast with a debate: is the World Cup really worth sacrificing other games for? Ben Pegna's CV:Coached at London Scottish for a few years with the academy and seniors. Wasps for three seasons across the academy and on the pathway to seniors.England 7s - performance analyst with Ben Ryan and Russell Earnshaw (also did 1 to 1 skills and some S and C etc)Consulted to Argentina coaches, consulted to Melbourne Rebels - coaches and players with Dave Wessels as head coach.

It had to happen, didn't it? The NZR sabbatical policy chooks have come home to roost. The excellent Gregor Paul, NZ Herald rugby scribe, penned a wonderful piece around the madness of the union's veteran player edict, designed to help tourniquet the bleeding of experienced players to big moneyed clubs around the globe. It didn't stop the flow; it just temporarily rerouted it. In their haste to stop senior All Blacks departing to wealthier climes, the dreaded sabbatical clause was triggered – a way for players to cash in on their All Blacks success without fleeing for the money on a permanent basis. This concept helped NZR avoid having to pick players from overseas; the last bastion of AB player central control. On the face of it, the clause appeared to be a pragmatic way to ensure the continued access to 70+ test veterans and stop the increasing pressure of income accelerated player loss. As I've often pointed out, the wording of the clause is more than problematic, it's just plain wrong. A sabbatical is a rest or break from work; an extended period of time intentionally spent on something that's not your routine job. So, most players aren't on a mental and physical break from the rigours of the game, they're just on a sanctioned cash grab. Ardie Savea has made the most of this opportunity, opting to chase the money as opposed to hitting pause. As a result, he's rooted. The best way to counter that exhaustion is to... give him more time off, to make up for all of the time he's already taken off. Instead of travelling with HIS team to the republic for the biggest tour in living memory, he's having a bit of a lie down. Weird. If anything positive arises from this nonsense saga, it will be a serious reworking of that easily abused clause, which in rugby parlance, is no longer fit for purpose. And in case you think this is an Ardie beat up, it's not. He was presented with an opportunity and took it. I'd do the same. The issue is with NZR, but the huge swathe of changes made within the halls of power will hopefully usher in a new way of thinking and acting, leaving dramas like this back in the past. Where they belong. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Sunday 9th of October 1983, at around noon, roughly 75 yards north of the Coventry Canal, homeless man, George Cunningham was shuffling up the Old Leicester Road, when he discovered the body of 30-year-old wife and mother-of-three Lalitaben Ladva of Rugby. She had been strangled, beaten with a hammer, and her body dumped. It seemed like a motiveless crime, but a series of lies and deceptions by her killer would unearth the selfish reason for her murder.Location: Old Leicester Road, Rugby, Warwickshire, Date: Tuesday 8th of October 1983 between 11 and 12pm (murder)Victims: Lalitaben LadvaCulprit: Dhirajlal LadvaSeven time nominated at the True Crime Awards, Independent Podcast Awards and the British Podcast Awards, Murder Mile is one of the best UK / British true crime podcasts covering only 20 square miles of West London.

Rugby league is on a roll – due in no small part to the efforts of Peter V'Landys. Since joining the Australian Rugby League Commission in 2018 and taking up the role of ARLC and NRL Chairman in 2019, he's got quite the list of achievements. V'Landys was behind the Las Vegas expansion, the plan to expand the number of teams involved, and most recently, the $5.3 billion broadcast deal. NRL's audience has also doubled over the last five years, thanks to the fan-focused changes they made to the game. “Unfortunately, in a lot of sports they're very insular, they live in a cocoon and take all the advice off the participants, and the players, and the coaches, etc,” V'Landys told Mike Hosking. “We wanted to make sure that we accommodated the needs of the fan,” he explained. And what fans needed, V'Landys says, was less predictable play, the ball in play for longer, and more entertainment. “And that's exactly what we did.” “In New Zealand, there's been substantial growth – a lot of that's to do, of course, with the Wahs and how good they're going, but also the fact is the game is a lot more entertaining.” Speaking of the Warriors, despite Australia's typical aversion to seeing New Zealand win at anything, V'Landys says they would like to see the Warriors claim the NRL title. “They deserve it,” he told Hosking. “They've worked really hard to be where they're at.” LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Even in an extended squad of 44, Dave Rennie and the All Blacks selectors have managed to serve up a few surprises ahead of the South Africa tour.

Josh Jacomb, Siale Lauaki Semisi Tupou Ta'eiloa were the main newcomers, with previous All Blacks Ollie Norris, George Bell, Fabian Holland, Ethan Blackadder, Timoci Tavatavanawai, Rieko Ioane and Emoni Narawa also joining up. All Black Ollie Norris says he was 'stoked' when he got the call yesterday. "I quickly started packing my bag and calling the people I needed to call, and I'm into camp today.

In dieser Woche sprechen wir über Sensationsgold beim Fechten, Nullnummer beim Kanu, die frisch gekürten Team D Awards und ein enttäuschendes EM-Wochenende im 7er-Rugby. Larissa Eifler holt in Hongkong völlig überraschend WM-Gold im Säbelfechten – erste deutsche Weltmeisterin seit Britta Heidemann 2007. Wir sprechen über ihren dramatischen Finalsieg gegen Sara Balzer, drei geschlagene Weltklassegegnerinnen auf dem Weg dorthin und ihren langen Weg zurück nach einer sechsmonatigen Pause. Bei den Kanuten in Oklahoma City steht am Ende die Null: keine Einzelmedaille in den olympischen Disziplinen. Ricarda Funk verpasst zweimal knapp, Bundestrainer Thomas Apel zieht ernüchterte Bilanz – und wir schauen, was das für die Olympia-Qualifikation 2028 bedeutet. Außerdem: Die Gewinner*innen der Team D Awards 2026 stehen fest – von Johannes Rydzek über Anna-Lena Forster bis zur neuen Kategorie "Legende" für Wendl/Arlt. Und zum Schluss ein Blick nach Split: Die deutsche 7er-Rugby-Nationalmannschaft verpasst den EM-Titel klar und geht nach starkem Hamburg-Auftritt am Ende leer aus. Reinhören lohnt sich!

Brian O'Driscoll outlines how.The landmark case being brought by former players against rugby's governing bodies is on the brink of collapse,And an Italy player is handed a two-match ban for a red card - picked up in a game he wasn't even playing in!Rugby on Off The Ball with Bank of Ireland | #NeverStopCompeting
On October 12, 1880, a 21-year-old Yale student named Walter Camp walked into a Massachusetts hotel meeting and killed the rugby scrum. Discover how Camp drew the line of scrimmage, created the quarterback position, and transformed continuous British chaos into the strategic, play-by-play game we know today.In the late 19th century, "American college football" was virtually indistinguishable from English rugby. It was a chaotic, 15-man sport governed by brute strength, invisible balls, and bloody "scrummages."Everything changed on October 12, 1880. Walter Camp—a young student-athlete at Yale—leveraged a voting majority to push through a radical new rule: the line of scrimmage.In this episode, we explore how one man systematically redesigned a sport, invented the modern football positions, saved the game with the creation of "downs," and laid the groundwork for American gridiron culture.Timestamps:**** Intro: The Cold Open – October 12, 1880**** Act I: The 15-Man Rugby Chaos – How the 1876 Massasoit Convention adopted British rules, and why early football was pure violence and chance.**** Act II: The Obsessive – Meet Walter Camp, the "spirit and whipcord" Yale player obsessed with scientific strategy.**** Act III: The Convention – The vote in Springfield, killing the scrum, and the birth of the line of scrimmage.**** Act IV: The Line – Guaranteed possession, the creation of the T-formation, and how modern football positions got their names.**** Act V: The Near-Death Experience – The "Block Game" disaster of 1881 and the 1882 creation of the system of downs.**** Act VI: The Legacy – Clock salesman, father of All-America, and the enduring gridiron legacy of Walter Camp.How 1880 Changed Football: The Story of Walter Camp and the Line of ScrummageOn October 12, 1880, the Intercollegiate Football Association gathered at a meeting in Springfield, Massachusetts. At the time, American college football was, in every meaningful sense, still English rugby. It was a game defined by 15-man teams, bloody scrums, and an invisible ball buried beneath a pile of crushing bodies.Then, a 21-year-old Yale student named Walter Camp stood up and proposed something radical.He wanted to kill the scrum. He wanted to draw a clean line in the dirt and separate offense from defense. The room pushed back, but Camp had the votes. When the meeting adjourned, the scrum was dead, the line of scrimmage was born, and American football had officially split from its British parent.Here is the story of how Walter Camp transformed a game of continuous chaos into the strategic, play-by-play sport we watch today.Act I: The 15-Man Rugby Chaos (1876–1880)In 1876, representatives from Harvard, Yale, Princeton, and Columbia met at the Massasoit House in Springfield to agree on a unified rulebook. Of the 61 rules adopted, 56 were copied verbatim from the British Rugby Union code.+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+| 1876 American Football (Rugby Code) |+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+| • 15 players per side || • Continuous play via a "scrummage" (contested ball on the ground) || • No guaranteed possession || • No line of scrimmage, no downs, and no designated play calls |+-----------------------------------------------------------------------+Without possession guarantees, strategy was virtually impossible. It was a game of pure chance and raw physical force. Players choked each other in piles, fists flew, and spectators routinely witnessed brutal injuries. Camp looked at this violent churn and saw a system that was fundamentally broken and unscientific.Act II: The Obsessive—Who Was Walter Camp?Walter Camp entered Yale in 1876 at just 17 years old. Weighing only 156 pounds, he transformed himself through an obsessive, self-invented conditioning routine:Running cross-country alone through New Haven.Performing secret morning calisthenics.Carrying a football to class to build muscle memory and prevent fumbles.Camp wasn't just physical—he was a multi-sport star, class poet, and top academic student. Yet his true passion was analyzing rulebooks. Attending rules conventions as a young delegate in 1878 and 1879, Camp realized that rugby rewarded brute force over intellect. He envisioned a sport driven by set formations, clear possession, and sequential plays.To make it happen, he needed a concrete proposal and the political backing to pass it.Act III: The 1880 Convention & The Scrimmage RuleBy October 1880, Yale's committee delegation had grown, giving Camp the voting leverage he needed. At the Springfield convention, he introduced a series of revolutionary reforms:Replace the Scrum: Establish a "line of scrimmage" giving one team exclusive, un-contested possession of the ball.Reduce Roster Size: Lower team size from 15 to 11 players to open up the field for speed and dynamic plays.Formalize the Snap: Require a designated player to snap the ball backward with his foot to initiate a play.Traditionalists argued that removing the unpredictability of the scrum would destroy the essence of the game. Camp didn't argue—he simply cast his votes. The rules passed."In one afternoon, a 21-year-old severed American football from its rugby parent. The sport would never look back."Act IV: How the Line Created Modern FootballThe introduction of the line of scrimmage created the distinct rhythm of American gridiron action: a play, a tackle, a pause, and a reset.It also directly birthed every position name on the field today:This alignment (the early T-formation) allowed teams to execute planned running plays, misdirection, and structured offenses for the first time in history.Act V: The 1881 Crisis and the System of DownsThe new scrimmage rule had one glaring loophole: there was no rule requiring a team to advance the ball.During the 1881 Yale-Princeton championship game, Yale took advantage of this flaw. Securing the ball under the line of scrimmage, they held possession for an entire half without attempting to score. Princeton couldn't touch the ball, resulting in a agonizing 0–0 draw known as the "Block Game."Realizing the game was at risk of becoming unwatchable, Camp devised his second landmark reform in 1882: the system of downs.The 1882 Rule: An offense had to gain 5 yards in 3 attempts (downs) or surrender possession of the ball.While the yardage and attempts were later modified to 10 yards in 4 downs, this fundamental mechanism forced teams to attack, saving American football from endless stalling.Conclusion: The Legacy of Gridiron's ArchitectWalter Camp spent the next four decades serving as the primary steward of college football. He chaired rules committees, authored the first official book on the sport, and selected the inaugural All-America teams.While Camp was an amateur who made his living selling clocks, his influence on American culture remains massive. The snap, the quarterback, the line of scrimmage, and the system of downs were all forged in a two-year burst of brilliant innovation by a young student who looked at chaos and chose to draw a line.Don't forget to check out and subscribe to the Pigskin Dispatch YouTube channel for additional content and the regular Football History Minute Shorts.Miss our football by the day of the year podcasts, well, don't, because they can still be found at the Pigskin Dispatch website.

CARY, NC - The first half the World Rugby Nations Cup has come to a conclusion, and USA Rugby handled everything Portugal, Zimbabwe and Spain could throw at them. In the middle of it all (literally) was Brandon Harvey, the towering, young Chicago Hounds star. Brandon is one our two featured guests to chat with MLR Weekly host Matt McCarthy, Harvey discusses earning significant minutes with the Eagles, his development, and the confidence fueling Team USA's run. Our other featured guest could arguably be the most important rugby executive on the American landscape. CEO Shane Young of the U.S. Rugby Foundation is charged with growing the game in places it doesn't exist and/or growing it where it may already exist. Just six months on the job after building Memphis Inner City Rugby and launching Urban Rugby Americas, Mr. Young peels back the curtain and chats openly about hurdles, hope and real change.
