WRP 77 - Lights on.....Mids!

Simon Middleton, the Red Roses Head Coach joins Johnnie & Burf on this week's episode, plus loads of news from around the rugby world to get stuck into. After a successful 6 Nations campaign where England were crowned champions, being undefeated in the successive tournaments, "Mids" chats about the bizarre end to the game in France last weekend, his assessment of the campaign, the wonderful selection head aches he now faces & the benefit of having the World Cup pushed back a year. Plus RB & JH chat about the historic Super Rugby game down in New Zealand between The Chiefs Wahine & The Blues Wahine, there's news from Uganda, Russia & France. It's the last regular season round of games in the Premier XVs, so we have predictions to those, plus reflections on the impact of Karen Findley departing Harlequins.
