The Hammer
Rob Hammerschmidt has had his head in the rugby scrum Chicagoland for almost 30 years as a player, fan, and youth coach. As he has come to grips with the realities of being an Old Boy, his love affair with rugby recently took an unexpected turn! Four years ago, he became a creator and partner in the Rugby Rant Podcast.
