Women's Rugby Pod

After a breathtaking showing for 7s at the Tokyo Olympics, we have an incredible show for you. Not, 1, not 2 but three top draw guests.

We get the reaction from the Great Britain camp in the company from their star speedster and member of the team of the tournament, Jazz Joyce. The Welsh flyer talks about the heartbreak of coming away from a second Olympics without a medal but also the inspirational journey Team GB 7s have been on. 

Abby Gustaitis, USA co-captain, also joins Johnnie on this week’s special pod. We hear about the USA Olympic Machine with endless stash and just what it is like to be in the opening ceremony. Plus THAT game against GB, how devastating it was to see the hope drain away from her team. But also what this Olympic campaign has achieved back in the US and where players like Abby can continue to push forward. 

Last but not least New Zealand flag-bearer, captain, double Olympian and now gold medal winner, Sarah Hirini speak from her hotel room as she reflects on Tokyo in quarantine back home. Sarah speaks so honestly about her team mates, that are so like a family, her motivations and drivers to succeed. How does it feel to win that medal and lift that cup?! Sarah also gives us a snapshot into the pride she felt in leading her country into the Olympics not only as a rugby player, a woman but as a Maori.
