Rugby Rant Logo Black #1

The Rugby Rant started over a simple disagreement.

Rob “The Hammer” Hammerschmidt and Scott “The Big Guy” Ferrara were discussing the advantages and disadvantages of a specific international player playing in the MLR.

In the midst of their civil discourse about the player, while rugby was on Hiatus in 2020, Ty Braga came to them with the idea to start a new podcast about rugby in North America and The Rugby Rant Podcast was born.

The Rugby Rant Podcast is your ultimate destination for all things rugby. Each week, The Hammer, The Big Guy and their guests bring their unique perspective and extensive expertise to the mic, delivering candid commentary, in-depth analysis, and entertaining stories from the rugby world. The podcast covers everything from match reviews and tactical breakdowns to interviews with rugby legends and rising stars in North America.
