WRP 140 - Front row union!
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!!
