Canadian centre & Olympic silver medalist, Alysha Corrigan, joins Scaz, Mo & Elma this week, to relive the games in Paris & discuss Canadaâs ascent to the top of the 15s game. We hear all about Scaz & Alyshaâs match up in New Zealand during the World Cup & how Mo thinks her medal box looks like Paddington Bearsâ lunchbox. Also Elma wonât drop the killer whale story, so this week Shiraâs left it in. Youâre all welcome.
Elma, Scaz & Mo are joined by Aimee Barrett-Theron, the first professional female referee in South Africa whoâs been in the middle for the Olympics and Rugby World Cups. Aimee exclusively reveals that sheâs autistic & that her neurodivergence is her super power on the pitch! She talks openly about how difficult it is to be the first woman in such a male dominated space & gives us her best comebacks to players when they take things too far. Expect even more chino chat, somehow.
The girls are back in the studio without a guest this week to get stuck into the burning questions⌠what should we call the England Menâs rugby team? What is a Wallaby? And Where is Wally? Elma, Scaz & Mo look at the World Cup draw, the autumn internationals, banning the word ladies from womenâs sport & Scazâs green chiiiiiinos⌠Mo also clears up the Ilona Maher rumours about Gloucester-HartpuryâŚ
Back to back PWR winners & triple BUCS Super Rugby Champs all live under one roof, at Hartpury Uni in deepest darkest Gloucestershire.

Scaz & Mo are back⌠fresh off the plane from Canada & theyâve brought two front row friends with them, in Hannah Botterman & Amy Cokayne. The final game against Canada is obviously discussed, but after nearly four months in eachothers company, itâs hardly surprising that Scazâs chinos, her friendship with Gaby Logan & her use of the term oojamaflip get far more airtime. To say this episode is the roast of Emily Scarratt, is an understatement.
Two thousand three hundred fans joined Siya Kolisi at Athlone Stadium to watch the drama of WXV2, after he put out a call to South Africans to come & support the Women Boks with him... so heâs joined Elma & Meg Jones on the pod, to tell us why he loves women's rugby so much.

Scaz & Mo are in Canada, so Katy Daley-Mclean & Meg Jones join Elma to discuss Irelandâs historic win, with their currently injured co-captain, Sam Monaghan. How far can this Ireland team go? What big decisions does John Mitchell need to make? & who wouldâve thought Meg Jones was a Barbie Girl?
Scaz & Mo popped by the studio just before they flew to Canada, to discuss pre-season, WXV, the Black Ferns and Ilona Maherâs world that weâre all just living in. Expect more Moisms, a few Scazisms, lots of rugby & somehow even more silliness, as ever, shepherded by our South African Queen.
A decade after winning the Rugby World Cup, our Scaz & our Mo & our steering-wheel AKA captain Katy Daley-Mclean, pull their World Cup winning kit back on to tell us all about the best & the worst parts of their most successful campaign in an England shirt.

The PWR season is done & dusted. Mo and the Gloucester girls won, we had a party on the pitch, and now itâs time to wrap up our EmpowHER project, which aimed to connect uni rugby to the elite game.

The girls congratulate Scaz on her big mini-league win before discussing leadership, mechanical bulls & what might be this season. Get ready to RTT with The Circusâ brain trust.
With the Paris Olympics around the corner & the final stop on the Sevens Series in Madrid this weekend, the girls are joined by two of GB7s finest... Abbie Brown & Jasmine Joyce-Butchers. The girls discuss the realities of being part of a programme where funding doesnât match their competitors and what a shot at medalling in Paris after two consecutive fourth places means to them. The chronicles of the hall pass rumble on, Scaz & Mo make a plea to halt the purchase of croissants, Jazâs dog story steals the show & Protein Pete gets in on the action.
Scaz finally visits her adopted homeland, Scotland, with her Loughborough teammates, Rachel Malcolm & Helen Nelson. This season the trio have been mentoring students from Edinburgh Uni as part of GSR & Vodafoneâs EmpowHER programme - connecting uni rugby to the elite game. So they catch up with two uni players, Cieron Bell & Nicole Flynn, who made it into Scotlandâs match day squad last month & their coach, former Scotland player, Claire Cruikshank. They discuss the season that was in the BUCS WNL, Celtic Challenge & the Six Nations⌠& Scaz canât hide the fact she loves being dubbed âThe BeyoncĂŠ of Rugbyâ.
The business end of the season is upon us, so Elma, Scaz & Mo are taking a peek behind enemy lines at StoneX Stadium. A home semi-final is yet to be booked for Saracens, so the girls are joined by two of their forward pack, Georgia Evans & Donna Rose, to discuss whatâs to come⌠including a match up against Moâs unbeaten Gloucester-Hartpury.

Oh & Donna makes Elma blush, Scaz gets obsessed with a cupboard, & Mo canât believe she was given a bird book. Twit-twoo.

Chaos reigns as Scaz & Mo return from Bordeaux, and relive the big moments from their third consecutive Six Nations Grand Slam title campaign. They delve into Mitchâs impact & his emotional outpouring post-Le Crunch, as well as Ireland, Scotland & Walesâ final round performances. We also find out how many croissants Scaz would swap her shirt for, how many Barbaras are saved in her phone & which common British bird is Moâs favouriteâŚ
The final round is upon us; will the Red Roses manage back to back Grand Slams? & who will snatch third place, to guarantee WXV1 & World Cup qualification? Elma & KDM have called in the two oracles of women's rugby to answer these questions - the founder of ScrumQueens, the OG womenâs rugby website & publisher, Ali Donnelly & BBC Sport reporter & commentator extraordinaire, Sara Orchard.
