Dinner at the Nasser's - A 'Rucking' Good Time (with Brendan Nasser)
As the Reds regular season draws nearer to a close and the QPR results start to spread the field, Ben & Marty decide to chat with a dentist (who also happened to play flanker for Queensland and Australia in the 80s/90s). Brendan Nasser not only shared his insights into how the game has evolved over the decades, and what coaches can learn from history, he also spoke of what it means to be a father to Josh and Bella as they continue to make strides in their own respective rugby careers.
