GTH (Global Team Horse Racing) is the re-imagined format of traditional horse racing; It's fast-paced, team-based, easy to understand and fun. This isn't your normal day at the races and it's taken South Africa by storm. Angus Campbell, marketing director of GTH, explains: “While there are still successful international signature horse racing events like the Melbourne Cup, The Kentucky Derby, The Dubai World Cup, and the Durban July, the truth is that horse racing, like all sporting entertainment businesses, needs rejuvenation to appeal to modern audiences. GTH is a racing revolution, it's a new and improved product changing the perception of what a day at the races is. We offer a faster, easier to understand and entertaining version of traditional racing.” This new approach is certainly appealing to a local market with GTH winning the prestigious Event of the Year award last year at the Hollard Sports Industry awards ceremony, beating events like the Rugby World Cup Sevens final.

The All Blacks Sevens' quest for Olympic gold in Tokyo next year has been given a major boost, with four Super Rugby players set to join the 2019/2020 campaign.New Zealand Rugby announced that Caleb Clarke (Blues), Etene Nanai-Seturo (Chiefs), Salesi Rayasi (Hurricanes) and Scott Gregory (Highlanders) will shift into the All Blacks Sevens campaign with their sights focussed on the Tokyo Olympic Games.With the support of their Super Rugby teams, the players have been given the green light to move into the sevens programme, said NZ Rugby head of high performance Mike Anthony."We're delighted that these players – who have all been in the All Blacks Sevens environment previously – have put up their hand, and want to have a crack at making the Olympic squad."We have worked very closely with all the Super clubs to ensure we could support those players who were genuinely keen to be involved in the Tokyo Olympic Games. We also wanted to ensure that the Super clubs were not significantly disadvantaged."Our first step was to gauge individual player interest, and then All Blacks Sevens management presented to those players before a firm commitment was sought."The four players selected have all previously played for the All Blacks Sevens which speaks volumes to the culture that (coach) Clark Laidlaw and his team have really built within that environment. It's been a key focus of the management to offer young players world class rugby experience so to have these four put their hand up to return is a great result."Clarke, Nanai-Seturo and Rayasi will join the All Blacks Sevens squad after their Mitre 10 Cup commitments at the end of this year while Gregory will assemble with the Highlanders until March 2020."One of the biggest considerations in this process has been the team environment. We have a group of contracted players that have won the Commonwealth Games Gold and Rugby World Cup Sevens last year, so we're very mindful that those coming in need to complement that group," Anthony said.Rayasi was a member of the World Cup winning All Blacks Sevens team in 2018 while Nanai-Seturo won Commonwealth Games gold with the team last April."We think we have the right mix of players that are coming in – size, speed and power, they will be a great addition to the All Blacks Sevens programme," Anthony added.The Blues, Chiefs, Hurricanes, and Highlanders are free to recruit an additional player to their 2020 squads. The Crusaders are the only team to not have representation in the wider sevens squad.

Willkommen bei Vorpass! Ein Podcast, in dem sich alles nur um eines dreht: um den wahrscheinlich fairsten Sport der Welt, Rugby!

The Rugby Championship geht in die nächste Runde und bereits am ersten Spieltag konnten sich die Neuseeländer nach einer knappen ersten Halbzeit (5:6) schließlich doch eindeutig mit 38:13 gegen Australien durchsetzten.

Aber wir blicken natürlich auch auf das heimische Rugbygeschehen. 15er-Bundesliga startet bald Rugby in Deutschland befindet sich zwar noch in der Sommerpause, aber auch hier geht es Anfang September wieder mit dem Bundesligabetrieb der Männer los. Donal, George und Vivian besprechen für euch, wohin es einige Spieler verschlagen könnte. Werden einige Männer den Schritt ins Ausland wagen, oder wechselt man doch nur die Neckarseite in der Rugbyhochburg Heidelberg? Im Gespräch sind viele große Namens des amtierenden Deutschen Meisters Heidelberger RK. Außerdem werden Auswirkungen diskutiert, die solche Vereinswechsel (hoffentlich) für die Bundesliga mit sich bringen. Können wir am Ende zwei neue Finalteilnehmer erwarten? Im allerersten deutschen Rugby-Podcast soll auch das europäische Rugby in Zukunft nicht zu kurz kommen. Deshalb wird ein Ausblick auf die englische Premiership gewagt, die ebenfalls am ersten Septemberwochenende startet.   Du möchtest deinen Podcast auch kostenlos hosten und damit Geld verdienen?

Willkommen bei Vorpass! Ein Podcast, in dem sich alles nur um eines dreht: um den wahrscheinlich fairsten Sport der Welt, Rugby! Erfolgsgeschichte All Blacks/ Black Ferns Vor vier Wochen holten sich die amtierenden Weltmeister im 15er Rugby, die Black Ferns und die All Blacks, zwei weitere Titel. Die Frauen sowie die Herren 7er-Nationalmannschaft aus Neuseeland wurden Sieger des Rugby World Cup Sevens in San Francisco. Und die Erfolgsserie geht weiter! Vergangenes Wochenende startete für die All Blacks bereits das nächste Rugby-Event. The Rugby Championship geht in die nächste Runde und bereits am ersten Spieltag konnten sich die Neuseeländer nach einer knappen ersten Halbzeit (5:6) schließlich doch eindeutig mit 38:13 gegen Australien durchsetzten. Beim Spiel zwischen den beiden weiteren Team dieses Turniers besiegte Südafrika, nach anfänglichen Schwierigkeiten, Argentinien mit 34:21. Was Neuseeland scheinbar so unbesiegbar macht, warum es für Südafrika schwer werden könnte, sich für die Weltmeisterschaft im kommenden Jahr zu qualifizieren und wie Teil 1 des Double-header zwischen der australischen und neuseeländischen Frauenmannschaft ausging, wird bei der ersten Ausgabe von Vorpass unter die Lupe genommen. Aber wir blicken natürlich auch auf das heimische Rugbygeschehen. 15er-Bundesliga startet bald Rugby in Deutschland befindet sich zwar noch in der Sommerpause, aber auch hier geht es Anfang September wieder mit dem Bundesligabetrieb der Männer los. Donal, George und Vivian besprechen für euch, wohin es einige Spieler verschlagen könnte. Werden einige Männer den Schritt ins Ausland wagen, oder wechselt man doch nur die Neckarseite in der Rugbyhochburg Heidelberg? Im Gespräch sind viele große Namens des amtierenden Deutschen Meisters Heidelberger RK. Außerdem werden Auswirkungen diskutiert, die solche Vereinswechsel (hoffentlich) für die Bundesliga mit sich bringen. Können wir am Ende zwei neue Finalteilnehmer erwarten? Im allerersten deutschen Rugby-Podcast soll auch das europäische Rugby in Zukunft nicht zu kurz kommen. Deshalb wird ein Ausblick auf die englische Premiership gewagt, die ebenfalls am ersten Septemberwochenende startet.   Du möchtest deinen Podcast auch kostenlos hosten und damit Geld verdienen?
