We return to where we started this weeks episode, in Amsterdam at the Bingham Cup. Which saw teams of gay and inclusive ruby teams from across the globe come together for an international tournament.

There’s a special kind of inclusivity when it comes to rugby that really shines through, and tonight we talk to Wes, who had to play his ex American teammates at this years tournament with the Melbourne Chargers, and Rob, a former Melbourne Charger who now plays with the Kings Cross Steelers, about how Rugby is connecting gay players across the globe.
