    Twenty-Six All, Shaun Edwards & a Tortoise in the Fridge, with Alex Matthews

    We’re back in camp to get the Scaz & Mo’s reaction to the Red Roses' winning run coming to an end at Sandy Park in the first of three tests against Canada, joined by one of the most decorated players in the game and a stalwart of this unbeaten Red Roses side, Alex Matthews. She’s won the World Cup TWICE, is vice-captain of the Red Roses, and she has been in an England shirt since she was 17.  There's a new face around the camp: Shaun Edwards… & the girls have THOUGHTS. Most of which are apparently showing off in front of England’s newest coaching consultant. We break down the Canada draw, including Sophie de Goede backing Kevin Rouet's call to settle for the draw on the final play despite being raging about it and we look ahead to the Black Ferns this weekend - which Alex says is going to be ELECTRIC.  Alex also opens up about what it takes to be a leader in the best sports team on the planet as a quiet introvert. She’s living proof proof that the quiet ones can lead, too - even though she struggles with confidence at times.  Finally, a public service announcement: Alex is also a tortoise mum. Join Elma in learning how to look after one, why he lives in a fridge over winter, and how he ended up hibernating in Scaz's.

    In Camp with Sarah Bern & Holly Aitchison: Overcoming Anxiety, Style Secrets & A World Cup Final Rematch

    Sarah Bern & England’s newest 50 capper, Holly Aitchison join Elma & Mo in Red Roses camp. As two of the most stylish women in the game, Holly and Sarah let us in on their style secrets, how they shop and (crucially for Mo) pack for camp, before getting into the Sydney Sweeney controversy, an honest talk about overcoming anxiety, and how WXV is shaping up so far.  We do actually cover the rugby this week - with a decent review of the Australia game. But as for Canada at Sandy Park? The girls are clear it's not a Rugby World Cup final rematch… and if Canada want to call it that, well, that's a them problem.

    In Camp with the Red Roses: Meg Jones, Hannah Botterman, Amy Cokayne & Maud Muir

    Season 7 is here! Elma, Scaz and Mo kick things off back at The Lensbury, where the Red Roses are training ahead of WXV - in almost EXACTLY the same spot they celebrated last year's Rugby World Cup win.  They're joined by Megan Jones, Hannah Botterman, Amy Cokayne and Maud Muir to reminisce on that unforgettable night, dig into fertility support in sport, chat through the switch to the size 4.5 ball, and look ahead to WXV - including England's clash with Australia in Manchester this weekend. Three things to ponder before you listen... Why is Canada in America? Which Welsh word would you use to describe the size 4.5 ball? And what do you think Botts' middle name is?
