Big Dawg Podcast

James and Chris wrap up the 2025 Big Dawg Podcast season with Hounds assistant coaches Todd Dammers and Noel Ried. From inside the locker room to strategic calls on game day, the coaches break down what it really takes to build an MLR squad—and why alignment from the top down can make or break a season.

This week in the studio, James and Chris sit down with U.S. rugby veterans Bryce Campbell and Will Magie for a conversation unpacking the concept of player ownership, exploring how today’s athletes are reshaping the game from within, and taking a hard look at the structural challenges facing collegiate rugby in the U.S. — all with the perspective of two players who’ve seen the sport from both American and international sidelines.
