Women's Rugby Pod

WRP 122 - The World Cup bunch. The first of this week's podcasts, is a special one, deep from inside the England camp on the day of their 2021 World Cup squad announcement. Johnnie was at Pennyhill Park (first time for the women's team!!) and got all the reaction to Simon Middleton's selection of the 32! We hear the thoughts of the Head coach in a very candid chat; within which those big omissions are discussed. Plus, of course, all those that did make the plane and the process and it's difficulty. Co-host and now England's World Cup captain, Sarah Hunter (MBE!) sits and has a yarn with Johnnie and gets quite emotional about the prospect of leading her country in New Zealand, especially in light of recent events. Burf dials in from her holidays to give her thoughts on the make up of the squad and details what Lucy Packer, her Quins team mate, will bring to the party. Finally from differing ends of the experience (and age!) scale, two of the forwards sit down with Sunter and JH. Sadia Kabeya, who has made a very late run to this squad and Laura Keats, so cruelly denied the chance to go to the last world event, both sit and give their thoughts and feelings on a great day for the pair.
