    Scaz & Mo are Elma-less again, but this time, they're joined by the trailblazing referee, most capped female match official, & newly awarded MBE, Sara Cox. With the new Whistleblowers documentary, Hollie Davidson's Men's Six Nations appearance & Aimee Barrett-Theron's viral ‘I'm not mad, just really disappointed' moment, refereeing is all over our news feeds right now. Coxy sheds light on how tough it can be in the middle with such grey areas in rugby's law book, how much she loves coming into England camp to work with the Red Roses & her FIVE hour long kangaroo court session in New Zealand two years ago.

    With the first ever Women's Lions tour finally on the horizon, Scaz & Mo (with the help of some Irish, Scottish & Welsh friends) put their heads together to pick a starting IV Lions side. Without picking themselves, they come up with a team that spans the four nations - which makes their hearts hurt at the talent they've had to leave out. Oh, and Elma & KDM pop up to Durham to catch up with some of the university rugby team who are part of the EmpowHER project we're running with Vodafone.

    Christmas has come early for our cat lady, who can't believe her luck at having two South Africans in the studio with her… the Women Boks captain, Babalwa Latsha & her teammate for club & country, Aseza Hele. Babalwa is such a force that every time she speaks at this time of year, sleigh bells can be heard - that is until Elma asks her to take her reindeer antlers off… Aseza tells the girls about her incredible journey to find rugby & become one of the best No.8s in the world. & Scaz & Mo can't believe how early on Elma manages to wedge in mention of the postal service - it might be a record. Expect emotional moments, new friendships & pigs in blankets.
