Guest speaker: Former Rugby International Ieuan Evans
Ieuan Evans holds almost every record in Welsh rugby and played in three World Cups. He has made seven appearances for the British Lions and is a member of the elite band of Triple Lions Tourists. He was awarded the MBE for services to rugby in 1996, and announced his retirement from the game in 1999 to run his own leadership and PR company. He is also a regular broadcaster on TV and radio, commenting on all aspects of the game. Ieuan's provided insights into the state of the international game now that the dust has settled from the recent World Cup tournament in France and the ramifications of success, and failure, for all of the participating teams have been calculated.
Zinzan Brooke, the former New Zealand international rugby player, joined Ieuan for the Q&A discussion and gave some support! Zinzan has played 58 tests for New Zealand, and 42 non-international matches for the All Blacks. In 1997 he retired from international rugby union and moved to the UK where he now plays amateur rugby for Windsor Rugby Club.
