In this episode of the Rugby Coach Weekly podcast, Dan Cottrell sits down with Owain Roberts, Coach Education and Development Manager at the NSW Waratahs and a Level 4 coach. Originally from Swansea, Owain’s journey has taken him from Welsh-speaking schools and UK teaching to the heart of Australian rugby.

Together, they explore:

How formative school and community experiences shaped his approach to coaching
Why humility, values, and belonging are central to developing coaches and players
The evolution of coach education and the shift from drills to purposeful activity design
Insights from his Level 4 research on game-based learning and “play with purpose”
The unique challenges and opportunities for rugby in Australia, competing with bigger sports while growing grassroots numbers
