NextGenXV, National League Rugby, and Talking Rugby Union have teamed up to live stream Rams RFC vs Chinnor on Friday 17th September.
The 7.45pm kick off is a massive National One derby, and will be available on NextGenXV’s YouTube channel and website, across National League Rugby’s website and social channels, and on the Talking Rugby Union website.
With the support of Rams RFC and CEO Gary Reynolds, it is a huge opportunity to help increase the profile of National League rugby, to showcase the top quality rugby in the National Leagues, and to highlight some of the exciting young talent that is thriving in that environment.
Pitchside will be the host of the National League Rugby Review Show, Warren Muggleton, alongside top freelance journalist Joe Harvey, an expert on National League Rugby, and special guest John Okafor, one of the top players in BUCS Super Rugby, currently playing in the second row for Leeds Beckett having joined from Wellington College, and a player that looks likely to catch the eye for years to come.
Talking Rugby Union’s Chris Heal will also be pitchside conducting interviews, while Muggleton, Harvey, and Okafor make their way upstairs to bring you live commentary of the game, which is expected to attract a big pre-Christmas crowd.
Both Rams and Chinnor are among the pack chasing down league leaders Rosslyn Park FC and this game looks likely to be key in terms of staying in that hunt as the league rapidly approaches the halfway point.
The game should shine a light on the fantastic offering that is National League Rugby, and that spotlight will continue to shine throughout the weekend with Warren Muggleton making the trip from Rams RFC on Friday night, to Worthing Raiders on Saturday in National League 2 South, from which he will be presenting the National League Rugby Review Show, which will be available on Sunday 19th December.
All in all it’s a new step for National League Rugby, for Talking Rugby Union, and for NextGenXV, and will highlight exactly what makes National League Rugby and the community that surrounds it so special.
