The First Ever Blind Rugby World Cup

Gareth Davies lost his sight gradually throughout his adult life, but he didn’t let that stop him from giving it all to his passion, rugby. 
 
Blind rugby has taken off in the UK over the last few years thanks to the Change Foundation and this year will see Team England attend the first ever Blind Rugby World Cup in Tokyo. 
 
Speaking with RNIB Connect Radio’s Simon Pauley, Gareth explains what drew him to the sport.
