Description

We have one of our all-time favourite episodes, talking to the founder of the Federation of Lesotho Rugby, Dan Aylward-Mills.

When he arrived in the country, only six people were throwing a rugby ball around on a tennis court.

Now they are recognised by World Rugby, have a functioning domestic league and are close to having their first professional club.

Find out how the story unfolded, with Dan admitting that a lot of it happened by accident.
