    Let us know what's on your mindA record crowd in the Aviva. A massive lift in visibility. Real belief building around the Irish women's team. Then the awkward question: why doesn't a big moment automatically turn into a big jump in participation? I'm joined by Lynne Cantwell, Head of Women's Strategy at the IRFU, to take a clear-eyed look at year one of the women and girls rugby strategy. We talk about what is genuinely working, especially the build-out of provincial pathways for 16 to 23-year-olds that give motivated players weekly access to better coaching and development while they stay rooted in their clubs, schools and universities. If we want athletes arriving at senior level ready to go, the preparation has to happen in those teenage and early adult years. We also dig into event delivery and why it matters. The Women's Six Nations day at Aviva Stadium is treated as an eight-month project, with fan zones, music, hospitality, and the details that signal welcome and accessibility, from buggies to breastfeeding rooms. Lynn shares how Rugby World Cup learnings shape planning and debriefs for what comes next, including WXV and future Six Nations fixtures. From there, we go straight to the hard stuff: participation growth of 4% against a 10% target, the resourcing and staffing required to help clubs, and the central role of volunteers. We talk schools rugby, the fight for space in curricula, what sponsorship from Vodafone and Dublin Airport signals to corporate Ireland, and why broadcast access still needs real pressure, especially when women's internationals miss out on linear TV. If you care about the future of women's rugby in Ireland, listen, share it with someone involved in a club or school, and leave us a review or rating so more people can find the conversation. Find out more about what we do day in day out at Sportforbusiness.comWe publish a daily news bulletin and host regular live events on a wide range of sporting subjects.Subscribe to the podcast wherever you get your podcasts from, and look forward to more upcoming chats on leadership and the business of sport.Our upcoming live events, including our Sport and Creativity Conference on October 1st, as well as plenty more, are live on the Sport for Business website, and we'd love to have you join us.

    Welcome back to Brave Bold Brilliant, the podcast where we talk to incredible people about their experiences in business and in life, gaining first-hand insight into how they've unleashed their potential to become brave, bold, and brilliant.  In this episode, host Jeannette Linfoot sits down with a genuine legend of Welsh rugby, Jonathan "Jiffy" Davies CBE, one of only a handful of players in history to captain his country in both rugby codes, Union and League. From his beginnings in Trimsaran, Carmarthenshire, Jonathan became one of the most gifted fly-halves of his generation, before making the bold decision to walk away from a successful Union career to reinvent himself in League, and then coming back to do it all again. ABOUT THE EPISODE Jonathan and Jeannette unpack 10 lessons in leadership and life shaped by his extraordinary journey: vision and values, working hard and loving what you do, failure and self-belief, resilience and mental toughness, teamwork and communication, adaptability and reinvention, treating people right, embracing diversity and inclusion, work-life balance, and the legacy he wants to leave behind. It's a conversation about what it really takes to reinvent yourself again and again, on the pitch, on air, and in business, while staying true to your values. ABOUT THE GUEST — Jonathan Davies CBE Jonathan Davies CBE (born 24 October 1962) is one of Wales' most celebrated dual-code rugby players, having achieved international success in both rugby union and rugby league. He played for Neath, Llanelli and Cardiff in Union, winning 37 caps for Wales, before his shock 1989 move to rugby league with Widnes, one of the biggest transfer stories in world rugby at the time. He went on to play for Warrington, the Canterbury Bulldogs and North Queensland Cowboys, representing both Wales and Great Britain, before returning to Union with Cardiff. Since retiring from the pitch, "Jiffy" has become one of the most recognisable voices in rugby broadcasting, working with BBC Sport, S4C, and covering the Six Nations, Rugby World Cup and British & Irish Lions tours. He also hosts his own Welsh-language chat show, "Jonathan," on S4C. Alongside his media career, Jonathan has moved into business development, and his long-standing charity work, particularly as President of Velindre Cancer Centre, for whom he has helped raise over £50 million,  earned him an OBE in 2015 and a CBE in the 2026 King's New Year Honours for his services to broadcasting and cancer charities. ABOUT THE HOST — Jeannette Linfoot Jeannette Linfoot is a highly regarded senior executive, property investor, board advisor, and business mentor with over 25 years of global professional business experience across the travel, leisure, hospitality, and property sectors. Having bought, run, and sold businesses all over the world, Jeannette now has a portfolio of her own businesses and also advises and mentors other business leaders to drive forward their strategies and their own personal development. She is a down-to-earth leader, a passionate champion for diversity & inclusion, and a huge advocate of nurturing talent so every person can unleash their full potential and live their dreams. ABOUT BRAVE BOLD BRILLIANT Brave Bold Brilliant is the podcast where Jeannette Linfoot talks to incredible people about their experiences of being brave, bold, and brilliant — experiences that have allowed them to unleash their full potential in business, their careers, and life in general. From the boardroom tables of big international business to the dining room tables of entrepreneurial start-ups, it's about overcoming challenges, embracing opportunities, and taking risks, while staying true to yourself. The podcast is listened to in over 90 countries worldwide and features founders, CEOs, athletes, and leaders sharing the real stories behind their success.

Enduring brutal workouts doesn't build true mental grit it just sabotages the physical gains that actually improve your game. Because everyone hits physical limits, your training must focus on expanding raw capacity: strength, speed, power, and aerobic fitness. Raising your physical baseline lowers the relative effort of every match action, preserving the energy you need to execute skills and dominate the 80th minute. Build a deep "strength reserve" in the gym, and leave toughness practice for rugby itself.00:00 Why Toughness Is Overrated01:38 Capacity Beats Grit02:52 Key S&C Qualities04:51 Toughness Reserve Explained07:43 Momentum From Being Fit09:12 Military Training Myth11:27 Be Tough In Rugby12:29 Train Adaptations Not Pain13:45 Wrap Up And Next StepsSupport the show

    Would you walk away from the peak of your career while you were still winning?In this Thursday Founder Classic episode of Screw It Just DO It, former England and British & Irish Lions rugby star George Kruis shares why he made the "ballsy call" to retire at age 32 to go all-in on his wellness brand, fourfive. Instead of waiting for physical decline or retirement to figure out what comes next, George built businesses alongside elite sport and chose to "leave the party a touch early."In this Founder Classic, George breaks down:• Why you shouldn't wait for one chapter to end before starting the next• Moving from elite sport where everything is done for you to entrepreneurship ("school on steroids")• The £40,000 retail kiosk failure and what real customer validation actually means• How to transition from founder-does-everything to building a specialist teamKey Takeaways• Don't wait until you're forced to change to figure out your next chapter• Real validation isn't 3 or 4 people telling you an idea is good—it's real market demand• Transitioning from elite performer to beginner requires humility and rapid learning• Leaving on your own terms gives you control over your legacy and future

Quatre ans plus tard, il s'envole vers le Biarritz Olympique, avec qui il disputera la finale du Championnat de France 1992 : entre-temps, sous le maillot frappé du Coq, il remportera 5 fois le Tournoi des Cinq Nations, dont un Grand Chelem en 1987, et disputera la toute première finale de Coupe du Monde la même année, face à la Nouvelle-Zélande.Il achèvera sa carrière du côté de l'Aviron Bayonnais, fort de 62 sélections qui feront de lui le deuxième ligne le plus capé de l'histoire du XV de France.En parallèle du rugby, Jean construit une carrière qui durera plus de trente ans dans l'environnement, et devient père de deux filles avec son épouse Aline.Aujourd'hui jeune retraité, il n'en est pas moins actif, partageant son temps entre l'agriculture, les moments en famille, et des retrouvailles régulières avec ses amis de toujours, ceux des années Boucau et Biarritz.Vous allez le découvrir, j'ai rencontré un homme d'une grande pudeur et d'une sincérité rare, pour qui l'amitié et la transmission comptent plus que tout.Bonne écoute !-----------------------------
