Rugby Rodeo

After a week off due to a hectic schedule, the girls return to break down a dominant Red Roses performance against Scotland — and what it says about the ridiculous depth in this England squad. With 13 World Cup players missing, the spotlight fell on fresh faces like 19-year-old Bristol back rower Demelza Short on debut, while Maddie Feaunati continues to make serious noise. Ellie reflects on a switch to the wing for her 50th cap, grabbing a brace in the process, and lifts the lid on the key differences between fullback and wing at the top level. The performance itself? Clinical. Lightning ruck speed, ruthless accuracy in the 22, and a flawless kicking display from Zoe Harrison who joins us for today's Pod! All that and more, before we head back to Allianz Twickenham to face Wales So settle back, enjoy, and make sure you’re subscribed on Spotify. Learn more about your ad choices.
