Hosts Dallen Stanford & Robin MacDowell are joined by legends Aristide Guerriero & Reuben Samuel for #RugbyHive Episode 8.

"Brazil won promotion to the HSBC World Rugby Women's Sevens Series 2020 after beating Scotland in the annual World Series qualifier in Hong Kong. After two days of thrilling action, head coach Reuben Samuel's side finished up as 28-19 winners over a strong Scottish outfit, scoring 120 points in six games at the 12-team tournament. Brazil will now feature as one of the 12 core teams on the World Series, a place they last held back in the 2016-17 season, and enjoy the new competition format as the World Rugby Women's Sevens Series competition increases from six to eight tournaments." - World Rugby

New Zealander Reuben Samuel and Italian Aristide Guerriero team up in South America - empowering their women's 7s squad to compete with the best sides in the world.

Guerriero was part of the Brazil Women's 7s staff for the 2016 Olympic Games and has recently taken on a larger role as Rugby Brazil's strength and conditioning coach. 

Since this podcast recording Samuel has parted ways with Rugby Brazil, one of the many casualties of Covid-19.
