    1994 World Cup Special: 30 years on

    On the 30th anniversary of England's victory in the 1994 World Cup final, Sara sits down with Giselle Mather and Gill Burns to relive that historic day in English women's rugby. It was the tournament that almost never happened, but Scotland stepped in to host at the last minute and the rest as they say is history. Gill and Giselle take us back to the struggles being a rugby player in the early 90s juggling work and even sharing beds with players while on tour. They also delve into the final itself and explain how they toppled the defending champions USA in front of packed stadium in Edinburgh.

    The Top 4 and the Top 9s

    The Top 4 and the Top 9s

    We're talking reunions on this week's pod after Ugo's trip to see Blue in Liverpool. If there was one team or player in their prime you could pay to watch, who would it be? Bristol get some love after crashing the top four party in the Premiership and that's time of year where we start to talk end of season awards. We get Danny to run the rule over England's plethora of in-form nines now that he has called time on his international career. There are big wins for Munster and Ospreys in the URC, Leinster sign a Barrett brother and Ugo considers launching a new career as a gymnast.

Shout out for rugby club Dwingeloo (Netherlands)

Hi guys, I’ve been a listener to the pod since the early days, and still enjoy (5 stars) listening very much. Next weekend 60 players/old players from rugby club Dwingeloo will be traveling to new castle to celebrate the 45th anniversary of our beloved Rugby Club. A lot of the guys will listen to the pod this week in perpetration if the champions cup final. Therefor a nice shout out for the Rugby Club Dwingeloo 45th anniversary would be great.

If you want to know how to pronounce the name of our club and village DWINGELOO we kindly invite you guys to join us on the Sunday evening boat back to Holland from new castle to ijmuiden. Not a stag party, but we assure you it will be a great experience !

Hope to see you in New Castle,

Kind regards,

Wouter

Boring Eddie haters

Been listening for years and now will stop. Chris Jones and Dawson seem to make a living from being critical of Eddie. Win, lose he’s always at fault and its boring that Dawson seems go thing the only way he can stay relevant is critiquing whatever England do. Change the record.

Gay teams in rugby

Hi guys,
Big fan of the pod, I listen every week, although I did put off the six nations de-brief as I’m still licking my wounds after England’s 5th place finish. Just finished listening to your sport relief special and your interview with the two lads from Manchester Spartans. Regarding gay teams in rugby: since moving to the Netherlands from the UK I joined Amstelveen RUFC (pronounced Amstel-vayn) who, I was interested to learn, have their own gay team called the Lowlanders. In fact, this summer the club and team are hosting the Bingham Cup. If you, or your listeners, don’t know what the Bingham Cup is or who it is named after - Mark Bingham - then I would urge you to look into as it is both a very sad and incredibly uplifting story. As mentioned, the tournament takes places in Amsterdam this year, starting on June 2nd and running until June 11th. In fact, I even have an apartment in central Amsterdam which you could crash in to record a pod if you wanted. While I don’t play for the Lowlanders, I am hugely proud to be part of such an inclusive club.
Cheers,
Harry
From Yarnbury RUFC in Leeds to Amstelveen RUFC in Amsterdam

p.s. I had to leave this as a review rather than send an email because I can’t find your email address listed anywhere!!
