WRP 133 - WRP + SQ WC D-B!! (in English WRP & Scrum Queens World Cup debrief!)
Recovered yet?! Ali Donnelly, the founder of Scrum Queens, joins Johnnie Hammond for a full debrief of the Rugby World Cup 2021, days after the New Zealand's Black Ferns beat England at the big dance, again. Now the dust is settling the pair discuss that final: the red card, the yellow card, the tactics, the substitutions, the decisions, the performances, England's bumpy road leading into the final & how the result has made them feel. The tournament as a whole is spoken about & the teams within in it that impressed & showed glimpses of what the future could look like. And looking ahead to England 2025 & the the immediate future for The Red Roses, is it time for fresh perspectives?
Ali & JH also pick a team of the tournament: who will make the back 3, does Cockayne get the nod over try scoring machine Tuttosi, where do they go in the back row?!? And from that a player of the tournament touched on. A fascinating & insightful chat between these two.....not to be missed.

WRP 132 - Final .......Captain's log.
Women's Rugby Pod
11/10/22 • 37 min
WRP 132 - Final .......captain's log. The World Cup final is upon us & yet again the Red Roses skipper Sarah Hunter (MBE!) hosts the pod with broadcaster Johnnie Hammond. We dive head-first into the England camp & get "Sunter's" thoughts on the semi final games, the quality & drama. Sarah also speaks about this week, what the mood is like in the camp, what they have been up to & who does what to relax & recuperate. The chat then moves to New Zealand & the match, Sunter's thoughts on facing them again in a final but this time in their back yard. Thoughts turn to selection & we hear from Simon Middleton - the Red Roses head coach - about the changes he has made & in particular the midfield selection. In the final part Sunter chats about the week as the captain, what she is doing & needs to do to get herself in the best possible place; when she will talk & when she will let others do the talking all the way up to kick off. And how this World Cup compares to others.
A truly special in depth chat with England's historic captain, days out from another final, not one to be missed..........wonder if she won at "Tuc-Tuc!?!!?"

WRP 131 - Captain's log: smiling semis with Fluhler, De Goede & Tuttosi. A comprehensive look at the World Cup semi finals with the lady of the hour, the record breaker Sarah Hunter MBE & challenging her for smiles we also have Black Fern Stacey Fluhler; as well as Canadian pair Sophie De Goede & Emily Tuttosi. "Sunter" takes us back to winning the record 138th cap at the weekend, what it has meant to her, how the squad & beyond showed their admiration, the celebrations, the role of her parents & also her performance against Australia. The chat quickly turns to rugby (Sunter was delighted!!), & what it was like to play rugby in a monsoon but also looking ahead to the semi final versus Canada. Does the Red Roses captain have an issue with her side's use of their forward power & how will they use that against Canada? We also go into the Canada camp to chat Halloween costumes, Emily Tuttosi's scoring record, the drive behind the Canadians' incredible success - as amateurs; & what sort of a captain is Sophie De Goede. From the other semi final we have multiple World Cup winner, "The Smiling assassin," Stacey Fluhler to chat what it is like to play in a home World Cup. Also the fun the Ferns have off the field, as well as what it is like to play in that backline.

03/17/23 • 41 min
WRP 140 - Front row union! This week not one but two members of the front row union; Lana Skeldon, of Scotland & Worcester & Wasps' & Red Rose squad member, Liz Crake. Scotland have just announced their squad for the up coming 6 Nations, of which Lana was, unsurprisingly, selected for. The international front rower chats about coming off the back of the World Cup, the lessons they learnt from it & what they are taking into this new chapter of women's rugby in Scotland. Lana talks about the new faces in the squad & also in the coaching box & you really get a sense a new page has been turned, after what has been a horrible year & a half. The hooker tells us just what it is like to play at Worcester, again through some choppy waters but the future looks bright, especially with Jo Yapp involved!
Wasps, as a club, have had a terrible time of it; the women's side will no longer compete in English rugby'd top level next season. Liz speaks of how that has effected the group & herself, how they have managed to turn up every week. Plus the Red Roses training squad member opens up about the raw disappointment of players & staff leaving the club when the troubles started. But there are positives! Liz tell us "how cool" it is to be in England camp, just how many appointments there are & a full low down on the stash!! Plus there's all the news from around the rest of the world, with France & Italy squads, retirements & half centuries as well!!
