Rugby international Vasily Artemyev
Manage episode 337455793 series 3381366
Former captain of the Russian national rugby side Vasily Artemyev tells me the remarkable story of a career which has taken him from Irish schools rugby to scoring a try on the sport's highest stage.
I also delve into the little-known but fascinating history of Russian rugby, discovering how a team of Welshmen from Llanelli RFC kickstarted its development, and why the Siberian city of Krasnoyarsk is the unofficial Russian home of the sport.
Music: Limelight (Michael Howard); Herr Christ, der ein'ge Gottessohn (James Kibbie)
