Women's Rugby Pod

WRP 86 - Viva Italia

So much on this week's Women's Rugby Pod! Johnnie reflects on the World Cup qualifiers in which Italy booked their place at the showpiece event in New Zealand later this year by beating Spain. He does this in the company of Italian flanker Giada Franco; she describes the moments they knew that place was theirs, the celebrations and just why this side is playing such good rugby. Scotland beat Ireland 18-20 in a thrilling encounter to go through to the final qualification tournament, we relive it with Emma Wassell. The Scotland stalwart who won her 50th cap at the weekend, having not missed a game since her debut in 2104. Emma reminisces about a very special day, closing her eyes for that conversion, the emotion of the victory, how they secured it and her reflections on her personal milestone.

We also have all the news from around the world, results from France, New Zealand and the 7s. Brilliant news from India, the Barbarians, Northampton/Lightening, from history-maker Sara Cox and tribute is paid to an Irish legend.
