The rugby the mainstream ignores deserves more than scraps.
The rugby the mainstream ignores deserves more than scraps.
The gap we see
Grassroots invisible
Community rugby, youth, veterans, festivals — barely covered by mainstream sports media despite being the base of the pyramid.
Tier 2 underserved
Rugby Europe Championship, Trophy, Conference — the pipeline to World Rugby's top tier gets a fraction of the coverage.
South America underserved
Argentina, Uruguay, Chile, Brazil, Paraguay — a genuine rugby continent covered mainly through the Los Pumas / Los Teros senior lens.
Federation noise
Federations promote themselves. Fans need independent voices covering the game as fans experience it.
How we work
Independent
No federation ties. No governing-body dependencies. Editorial line is ours.
On the ground
Based in Alicante, Spain — inside the community we cover. We travel to matches, festivals and clubs across the continent.
Multichannel
YouTube, Twitch, Kick, podcast, newsletters, this app. Each format serves a different audience — pick the one that works for you.
Who we are
Carl
The driving force behind Rugby TTL. A player and coach with Barbarians Marina Alta, Carl founded the channel in April 2024 to give Tier 2, Tier 3 and grassroots rugby the coverage it deserves.
Buster
Played the game, loves it from the touchline. Injury brought Buster to the sidelines, but his passion for rugby hasn't dimmed — and with his son now getting into the game, the next generation is in safe hands.
Adam
A rugby man through and through, now firmly in the touchline crew. Injury shifted Adam from the pitch to the sidelines, where he watches his son discover the same love for the game — bringing that honest perspective to Rugby TTL.
Keith
Rugby TTL's man on the ground in Ireland. Keith covers grassroots rugby across the island and joins the crew for European away days whenever he can — bringing the Irish rugby community into the fold.
Kent
A former player now firmly on the supporter's side, Kent covers grassroots rugby across the UK. A vocal advocate for the women's game, he brings a community-first perspective to everything Rugby TTL does.
Polly
Mark Pollard — Polly to everyone in the rugby world — brings the experience of a former player and coach to Rugby TTL's UK grassroots coverage. A familiar face on the touchlines and a passionate voice for the game at every level.
Pasquale
A creator with roots in Rugby TTL, GameDay Bites and Club Rugby Toledo, Pasquale bridges the Italian and Spanish rugby worlds — a passionate advocate for the growth of the game across Southern Europe.
Luis
Based in Buenos Aires, Luis hosts Rugby TTL's Hispanic South American content — bringing the passion of Argentine rugby and the wider Súper Rugby Américas story to a Spanish-speaking audience across the continent.
