Ep.15 – Magic of Melbourne with Kevin Foote

Rugby podcasters Brett McKay and Harry Jones are joined on The 8-9 Combo by Melbourne Rebels head coach Kevin Foote, for an open and honest and at times raw conversation that attempts to explain a team playing good rugby under the clouds of a club in Administration.

On a number of topics that haven’t had a lot of attention, Kevin gives a pretty raw account of trying to coach a squad of players that currently do not know their employment status beyond the end of June, the frustrations and the stress that goes with that, and the impact the Rebels uncertain future continues to have on his coaches, the families and the club staff.
