Women's Rugby Pod

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.

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 134 - We are Warriors! This week, Worcester's Director of Rugby Jo Yapp joins the pod. The former England international is very honest about the last few months that she & the rest of the Warrior players & staff have had to go through. How she has coped not knowing what the future was going to hold but also where the club (women's section) is now & how are they able to operate. The playing side of matters is also spoken about; the victory over Quins at the weekend, which is a double, as they beat them a few weeks back in the cup. In addition, where the squad find themselves now, with all that has gone on & a tender process to go through. Johnnie & "Yappy" do look back at the World Cup & the final, did England lose it or did New Zealand win it? Jo is thrown a curve-ball too.......what would you answer be if England came calling.........
