Summary

Payno and Hask are joined by the current Ukrainian national team’s team manager Maksym Kravchenko and their scrum-half Vadym Sivak who are both in Ukraine and fly-half Anton Shashero who’s in Georgia to talk about their experiences since Russia invaded in February 2022. Makysm and Vadym recall what life was like when those first sirens sounded and Anton tells of his anguish of watching it all from afar. They talk about their recent games in the 3rd tier of European rugby and, not just their hopes for the sport in the country and on the international stage, but also Ukraine’s continuing fight for freedom. Amongst all of that Hask also makes one of the greatest faux pas of all time - of course he does! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

it a very special episode this week because sport often for most people is a bit of an escape

from everyday life. But on this week's show, that escape is I think bigger than any of us can

A little over 16 months ago, excuse me. And since then, the war has raised. Ground has been lost.
