I’m Arthur Dickins, I’m 13 years old and a keen rugby player. In each episode I sit down with amazing current and former stars of rugby to hear about their journey from first picking up a rugby ball to playing and coaching at the highest level. I get to ask them the kinds of questions that my fellow age-grade rugby players (and their coaches!) want to ask, such as: What made you pick rugby over other sports? How did you arrive in your position? How did you know you were good enough to go professional? What’s the best advice you received from a coach? How do you deal with nerves before a big game? How do you bounce back from a bad game? And lots more! If you are a young player such as me, a coach of young players, or you simply love rugby, I think you’ll really enjoy hearing the wisdom, knowledge and experience shared by these inspiring legends of the game.","last_synced_at":"2026-07-17T12:19:03.991538+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/rugby-legends-with-arthur-dickins-7355771"},"episode":{"title":"Sevens Special - Marcus Watson | From Grassroots to Olympic Glory","slug":"sevens-special-marcus-watson-from-grassroots-to-olympic-glory","published_at":"2026-05-15T05:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/rugby-legends-with-arthur-dickins-7355771/sevens-special-marcus-watson-from-grassroots-to-olympic-glory","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/rugby-legends-with-arthur-dickins-7355771","url":"https://www.buzzsprout.com/2521503/episodes/19083013-sevens-special-marcus-watson-from-grassroots-to-olympic-glory.mp3","audio_url":"https://www.buzzsprout.com/2521503/episodes/19083013-sevens-special-marcus-watson-from-grassroots-to-olympic-glory.mp3","summary":"Olympic rugby changes how a player sees the game, and in this episode of Rugby Legends, Marcus Watson explains exactly why.
