This one’s all about love.

Continuing our series of interviews celebrating the Women’s Six Nations, Lost Forward meets Bournville Ladies Vice Captain Naomi Gardner. 

Naomi‘s love and passion for the game shines through, as we chat about grassroots rugby, including: a surprise childhood rugby memory; players gassing it; and how she keeps her team motivated when things get tough.

Naomi and the pod also talk about tackling racism in (and outside of) the game. Naomi shares her thoughts and experiences as a Black woman in the sport, and talks about the importance of access and representation. 

It was an honour chatting with you Naomi. Lost Forward sends the best of luck now the Bournville women are back in training - and we hope you’re chuffed that your Super Rugby faves the Chiefs are doing well!
