Talking Rugby Union uses our book of contacts to source interviews with some of the rising stars in the sport. We want to showcase the Emerging Talent in the game who have aims of making it on to the big stage. In the past, we have spoken to the likes of Seb Negri (Italy), Ollie Sleightholme (Northampton) Sam James (Sale Sharks) plus many more.
But, it is not just the players who will be in the spotlight. We want to encourage young journalists to begin writing about rugby and the Emerging Talent section gives YOU the platform to produce articles which will be published on our site and across our social media.
If you are a budding, young journalist - please feel free to get in touch with us at austinh@talkingrugbyunion.co.uk
