In this week's episode of The Rugby Paper Roundup… Assistant Editor Ben Jaycock is joined by rugby content creator and social media personality Ruck Star Lizzie to react to a dramatic final round of the Women's Six Nations — and look ahead to what feels like a huge new era for the women's game. England edged another epic battle with France in Bordeaux to secure an eighth straight Six Nations title and Grand Slam, while Ireland smashed attendance records at the Aviva Stadium in front of more than 31,000 fans against Scotland. We break down why England v France continues to produce the biggest matches in women's rugby, whether the Red Roses are building one of sport's greatest dynasties, and just how special Ellie Kildunne's tournament really was after a campaign packed with outrageous attacking numbers. We also discuss: • Marlie Packer finishing as top try scorer from the back row • Zoe Harrison leading the tournament points charts • Why Ireland's Aviva Stadium crowd felt like a landmark moment

Sara, Ugo and Katy Daley-McLean are podding pitch side immediately after the Red Roses won an eighth successive Six Nations title and fifth Grand Slam.

Former England international Katy Daley-McClean and ex-Black Fern Ruby Tui join Sara Orchard to review the Red Roses' 61-33 thrashing of Italy in Parma.John Harrison's reigning world champions made it 37 consecutive wins across all competitions with a dominant display in their fourth bonus-point victory of this year's competition.That's now 38 successive Six Nations wins, setting up what should be an epic grand finale in Bordeaux against France next weekend.The panel discuss the entertainment value of games such as this, whether winning the Six Nations would really be more impressive than the World Cup – as England's defence coach claimed pre-match, and the debutants who came on for the Roses.Timecodes: 00:10 Ruby's dramatic pod entrance 02:50 Are teams working England out, or is it just injuries letting teams score more? 05:00 How much credit do England deserve given the absentees? 06:00 How good were Lutui and Burns? 07:15 Ruby says England's domination is ‘systematic' like New Zealand's Sevens team 09:55 A debut for Haidee Head qualifies for 5 different nations! What's she like? 12:50 Ex-captain Marlie Packer's 4-try haul 14:15 Would England fall apart without Amy Cokayne and Lucy Packer? 15:33 Zoe Harrison's incredible kicking run ends 17:05 How did Italy come back from going 26-0 down inside the first 15 minutes? 18:50 Is Italy's box-kicking boring or really smart? 20:15 Is Ellie Kildunne still settling into this new position? 22:50 Is this France's best opportunity to beat England and get the Grand Slam?

Sara is joined by World Cup winner Kat Merchant and former Wales captain Siwan Lillicrap to reflect on England's victory over Wales. Despite the Red Roses scoring 62 points, there were still plenty of positives for Wales who earned a try-bonus point as Alisha Joyce returns, Keira Bevan shines at nine and their lineout bamboozled England. Despite shipping four tries, the Red Roses completed a record-extending 36th consecutive Test win. Marlie Packer scored another two tries, Zoe Harrison's sensational form off the tee continued, and captain Meg Jones impressed again - is she now nailed on to be World Player of the Year?

Dame Laura Kenny is the most decorated female cyclist in Olympic history with 5 gold and one silver medal. Alongside her husband Sir Jason Kenny who has 7 golds and two silvers, they are the most golden family in Olympic history! Both are now retired and are busy raising their three children. But far from falling away from the public eye, Dame Laura has used her platform to talk about subjects that are considered taboo, like her ectopic pregnancy and miscarriage. Talking openly is something that has helped Laura throughout her life and career and it could have been very very different. As a child Laura suffered with asthma, a chronic respiratory condition which resulted in her having a collapsed lung. For many it would have put them off from pushing themselves athletically, but for Laura that wasn't an option.Marlie Packer was a member of the squad of the recently crowned Rugby Union World Champions. The Red Roses enjoyed the ultimate success by beating Canada in a final watched by a record breaking crowd of more than 80,000 fans. Marlie was also part of the England set up that won the World Cup in 2014. Now 36, her career has coincided with the growth of the women's game from the early amateur days where Marlie juggled her international career alongside her job as a plumber.Millie Bright has just about won it all. She led the England women's football into the 2023 World Cup final, and the year before she was part of the team who won the European Championships. So her decision to withdraw from this years European championship was a shock to all. Domestically she has more than 300 appearances for Chelsea, during which time the west London side have won eight league titles, and nine FA and League cups and all through out there was Millie. So how has she done it?In 2007 English triathlete Chrissie Wellington surprised everyone by wining the prestigious World Ironman Championship in Hawaii. It turned out to be the first in a series of victories and world records... the remarkable thing is that Wellington only became a professional athlete in her late 20s after giving up a successful career in development.

Marlie Packer drops in for a chat with Scaz, Tinds and Elma, fresh from England camp and back on parenting duties. She takes us behind the scenes and reveals how karaoke and balloon art have helped the players to switch off in between tough training sessions and world class performances. We look at the young guns breaking through at international level, and how the Premier 15s is helping to advance women's rugby.

This week I have the great pleasure of talking to a role model from the world of Women's Rugby    Marlie Packer plays her club rugby for Saracens and is a regular in the England team. She has a long list of accolades to her name. From her position as flanker she helped England win the Rugby World Cup 2014, in 2017 was a losing finalist vs New Zealand, she is a 4 x Grand Slam winner, and also regular 7s player. Recently she was named by the Daily Telegraph as one of the best 10 women rugby players in the world.   Marlie provides a first-hand perspective of the growth of the women game - from her first experiences aged just 6, to making the England team in the pre professional era. And how now as a full time professional this has allowed her game to flourish but also means she can ‘play it forward' and through her exploits encourage more girls to take up the game.   A key theme is certainly around making sure you work hard at surrounding yourself with the right people. This has really helped Marlie when there are set-backs and adversity - be that sporting ones or life in general   So yes, we talk about radiators - not simply the ones in your house that she's qualified to fix but more the people you need around you to learn from, feel encouragement and support from during the highs and the lows of life in an elite team sport set up and in your life outside of sport. Not least her partner Tash and their little boy Oliver. You can follow Marlie on Instagram @marlie_packer Thanks again to the Athlete Media Group for setting this up. If you're a brand interested in working with Marlie -please contact them I hope you enjoy it Richard x The Mojo Podcast Hosted by leadership coach Richard Stokes from Ibiza @mojorichard on Instagram www.mojodevelopment.co.uk richard@mojodevelopment.co.uk #rugby #womensrugby #elitesport #englandrugby #redrose #saracens #premier15s #marliepacker #firsttimemum #worldcupwinner #rolemodel #radiatorsnotdrains
