Sara Orchard sits-down with two of the biggest names in women's rugby, Lions Women's head coach Jo Yapp and New Zealand women's head coach Whitney Hansen. A year out from the inaugural Lions Women's Tour and who would have thought the darts is at the forefront of Whitney Hansen's mind. The Black Ferns head honcho also discusses how New Zealand didn't capitalise on their 2022 RWC win, but is open to innovation with the Lions on what women's sport could look like in the future. Coaches dance-off, maybe? Yapp confirms New Zealand as her ideal destination and reveals her hopes a Lions Women documentary that can make the same impact as the men's from 1997.

Never in the history of rugby matches have we seen a game end with a penalty kicked short, the kicker making an interception to score in the corner and then kick her own conversion to win the game at the death. So, the morning after the night before, the Elma, Scaz, Mo and Meggy meet in The Cabbage Patch, where Mo had been crowd surfing only hours before, to dissect the match against their greatest rivals, the Black Ferns and pay their dues to Zoe Harrison's self-professed ‘shit or bust' moment of history.  Meg tells us how she came up with the V formation to challenge the Haka & which Kiwi gave her the timing for the half way line approach. We also hear what Maddie Feaunati, the women who wears a Rose but could have worn a Fern, told the girls ahead of facing the Haka at Allianz Stadium.  Mo also explains how tough it is to make the right calls off the bench in a game that tight & poses the big question... how many holes there are in penne pasta - answers in the comments, please!  & finally, our OG title partners in the first two seasons of this podcast, have opened a new round of the Allianz All Together Sports Fund: £100,000 is now available in grants of £1,000-£5,000, paid straight to grassroots clubs for pitch hire, bills, kit, travel and subs, or whatever else you need!

Here's the link to apply: https://www.allianz.co.uk/about-allianz/partnerships/sports-fund.html  If your club gets a grant, don't be surprised if we turn up with a camera!

Fresh off an unforgettable trip to Baltimore — and battling a bit of post-travel sickness — I'm recapping a genuine rugby bucket-list experience: the All Blacks and Springboks in the United States, historic attendance at MT&T Bank Stadium, incredible access to the teams, and what an event of that scale can mean for rugby's growth in America.Then we get into a massive week across New Zealand rugby. I break down NZ Rugby's reported $66 million financial challenge, why the NPC and Ranfurly Shield remain vital to the game's future, and why it matters that players including Beauden Barrett, Noah Hotham, Cortez Ratima, George Bell, Emoni Narawa and others are returning to represent their provinces.I also unpack the Black Ferns' heartbreaking Red Roses defeat, Counties Manukau's emotional Ranfurly Shield win, Northland's incredible Shield journey, and the attacking ambition of Auckland's Rico Simpson.In the second half, it is all about one of the wildest Tests of the year: the Wallabies' 42–38 win over the Springboks. Australia held on with just 11 men, lifted the Mandela Challenge Plate, and delivered a major statement against the reigning world champions.Plus, I reflect on making my play-by-play commentary debut for UCLA Rugby's last-minute win over Michigan, and look ahead to UCLA's upcoming home fixtures against Brown and Southern Nazarene.In this episode:Baltimore recap: All Blacks, Springboks and a record U.S. rugby crowdWhat NZ Rugby's financial challenge means for the gameWhy All Blacks returning to the NPC mattersBlack Ferns v Red Roses reactionCounties Manukau win the Ranfurly ShieldWallabies survive with 11 men against South AfricaUCLA Rugby commentary debut and upcoming matches
