Women's Rugby Pod

WRP 159 - A new dawn. This week all three wXV (the new global women's rugby competition) tournaments are in action, wXV 1 in New Zealand, wXV 2 in South Africa and wXV 3 in Dubai. We have a a very special co-host this week in Red Rose star Sadia Kabeya. The flanker chats of her injury, the mood of the squad out in New Zealand, selection, competition for places and what she feels she is missing out on most! We reflect on last week's results from wXV 2 and 3, with wins for USA, Spain, Italy and Ireland and look ahead to the first full round of games with wXV 1 rolling into town this week. We also have South Africa captain Babalwa Latsha, an inspirational figure - the first professional female rugby player in Africa; to look back at their opening game against Scotland but also looking ahead to the match versus Italy. Babalwa also speaks of her role as a captain and leader and the huge growth of the sport in South Africa and some of the reasons behind it. The sad news of Worcester Women's demise is reflected upon, as well as all the rest of the news from around the world.
