Woah! We're FINALLY back! And for the first time ever, we're focusing on a women's World Cup! Join Robbie (@SquidgyGoat) and Will (@Will_Owen9) as we (@SquidgeRugby) attempt to cycle through the entire 2014 Rugby World Cup, with an episode reacting to each game. In this week's episode, we set the scene on this World Cup, the history of women's rugby, our relationship with the sport and our expectations for the series ahead.


And yes, we still find a way to talk about Yionel Beauxis.
