Episode Notes
At just 21, Finlay Harrison is already rewriting the coaching playbook. In this episode, we sit down with the youngest international head coach in world rugby, now leading Hungary’s sevens programme and shaping the future of their XVs setup.
After a promising playing career with Gloucester was cut short by injury, Harrison pivoted into coaching, rising rapidly through roles at Henley Rugby and Ultimate Rugby Sevens before taking on one of the sport’s most demanding jobs. Thrust into a senior international environment with players older and more experienced than himself, he’s had to win trust quickly and build a culture from the ground up.
We dive into his bold vision for Hungarian rugby, from chasing a historic Rugby Europe Sevens Trophy medal in 2026 to laying the foundations for long-term success, and even dreaming of Olympic qualification.
Harrison also reflects on the challenges of balancing sevens and fifteens, embracing mistakes at a young age, and why his mindset is simple: why not us?
