Women's Rugby Pod
WRP 91 - It's all going on!
WRP 91 - It's all going on! Another packed show this week, full to the brim with special guests in another bumper week for women's rugby. After the historic news on Wednesday (3rd November) coming from The Welsh Rugby Union regarding the contracts for their female player, Johnnie chats with WRU Vice-President Liza "Bird" Burgess to get the inside scope. And what she thinks it will mean to the players and the rugby within Wales.
Following England's win over New Zealand, at the weekend, and ahead of the second leg this weekend; once again we have insight from both sides. The Queen of the set piece "Rocky" Clark joins us to talk about the scrums and line out where The Red Roses were so dominant. On the other side 53-capper Kendra Cocksedge joins the pod from Northampton. The half back tells Johnnie how they have tried to bounce back, what the review of last weekend's game was like and where she feels they can hurt England. There is also insight into just how The Black Ferns keep spirits high whilst on tour.
If that wasn't enough, after the 1994 World Cup trophy was found, we had to get Gill Burns MBE on the pod to speak of her delight in finding it! The legendary Waterloo no.8 tells us where it was, where it is now and why it still hasn't had a polish. And with all the international news, Nandi Buthelezi, all the way from South Africa, returns with results from Scotland, Ireland, Sweden, England, there's gum shield chat and forwards coaches departing........listen and enjoy.
