Podcasts about Twickenham

England begin their autumn campaign with victory over Australia and extend their winning run to eight matches. Chris is back on the pod with Ashy and Matt Dawson to pick through a contest that was close until the hour mark. What are the big positives for Steve Borthwick and his men? We get the assessment of fly-half George Ford on the match and we discuss why the Wallabies struggled to match their performance at Twickenham this time last year.

Australia have been knocked out of the Women's ODI World Cup by host nation India, who chased down a record total to progress. The age profile of this team means we are unlikely to see this group contend for this title together again, will this trigger the changing of the guard and are we ready? The AFLW is going into the final home and away round with movement inside the top eight guaranteed, and the Wallabies have made eight changes to the team that is set to take on England at Twickenham this weekend.Featured: Michelle Goszko, former Australian cricketer.

This week on the KOKO show we bring it back to our roots, delivering to you a no guest nonsense pod that is packed full of smack talk, poking fun at each other's insecurities and butt load of code. To start off the lads unpack the Wallabies' close call in Tokyo, as Eddie's Brave Blossoms put up one hell of a fight to try and claim their first ever ‘dub' against the might of the green and gold. However, our golden gladiators battled the elements and some sloppy execution to claim the win and our panel of pricks picked it apart to identify some work-ons before we take on the might of England. Ladies and gentlemen spring has sprung and autumn has autumned, depending on where you live, but one thing is for certain the world over its time for some tangy touring. With the Wallabies touching down in the Motherland ready to make jellied eels out of these pommy princes, the KOKO lads have put together a full ‘Spring Tour Set Up', previewing this week's tussle at Twickenham, as well as all the other international clashes this weekend. With hemispheric denomination at stake, emotions will run high as KOKO gets well and truly behind the South to ride these suckers home and prove which semi-circle is the best at playing footy.

“It's so easy to chase perfection, but it doesn't exist. The whole world is built on imperfection - and that's what makes it beautiful.”It was our privilege to talk to World Cup winner and Bristol Bears tighthead Sarah Bern for today's episode of The Game Changers podcast as she relives that history-making day at Twickenham and what's to follow. Sarah candidly traces her journey from a teenager wrestling with body image to a visible role model for strong, muscular women. Authentic on and off the pitch, Sarah shares how Ilona Maher's arrival at Bristol Bears helped her find her own voice on social media - a powerful tool to drive change and open vital commercial doors for female athletes.Sarah takes us behind the scenes - sharing what it's feels like in an England scrum or waiting in the tunnel walk to walk out in front of 82,000 fans. We also talk about the crossover of fashion and women's sport with the launch of her own clothing label - Below the Shoulder - with her teammates, a Vogue photoshoot and how Red Roses merchandise has been selling out in stores.Looking ahead, Sarah calls for true equality across sport as we judge female athletes by what happens on the pitch, not by their appearance.Her legacy goal is simple and powerful - to help women feel comfortable in their own skin so they can attack life with purpose and joy.Thank you to Sport England who support The Game Changers Podcast with a National Lottery award.Find out more about The Game Changers podcast here: https://www.fearlesswomen.co.uk/thegamechangersHosted by Sue AnstissProduced by Sam Walker, What Goes On MediaA Fearless Women production

We're back for Season 6! In this reflective episode, James and David catch up after the summer and explore the “big idea” that's been emerging across recent blogs and conversations: there is more to human development than learning about subjects.

Arguably England's greatest prop since World Cup winner Trevor Woodman, Alex Corbisiero has a fascinating life story. Born in New York and raised in Surrey, he went on to represent England at the highest level, before retiring in his late 20s after a long injury history.

It's time for a whirlwind ride through the world of South African sport with Nick Tatham's latest update! Kicking things off, Nick and the team celebrate the Springboks' nail-biting 29-27 victory over Argentina at Twickenham, clinching the rugby championship with a points difference that left New Zealand in the dust. The excitement is palpable - think World Cup vibes, confetti and a chorus of “well dones” echoing across the nation. However, the drama doesn't stop there! Nick dives into the tangled web of Bafana Bafana's World Cup qualifying campaign, where a three-point deduction and a forfeited match have left fans clutching their calculators and biting their nails. With the team now neck-and-neck with Benin, every goal counts, and Friday's clash against Zimbabwe at Moses Mabhida Stadium is set to be a do-or-die affair. Nick's playful banter and cheeky optimism shine through, urging Zimbabwe to “let us win this one, please!” and rallying the nation behind Bafana Bafana.

The All Blacks have swept the Bledisloe Cup series, and Brett McKay and Harry Jones pull it all apart in another TRC Post-Mortem for The 8-9 Combo Rugby Podcast. A relatively even first half contest looked more comfortable than perhaps it was, courtesy of two late tries, before the Wallabies cruelled their own second half with silly mistakes, skill errors, and poor decision-making, leaving them and Australian fans to contemplate the what-ifs for yet another year. And because the WiFi gods worked against us, and we recorded several hour after both games, there's a good wrap-up of what turned out to be a surprisingly close match between Los Pumas and the Springboks at Twickenham. #rugby #rugbypodcast #89Combo #WeekendPostMortem #InternationalRugby #TheRugbyChampionship #Wallabies #AllBlacks #Springboks #LosPumas Find us: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@8-9Combo?sub_confirmation=1 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/1BcKhb24YOtwQhKc0S3sDm Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/the-8-9-combo-rugby-podcast/id1729575866 Social media: #89Combo Twitter: https://twitter.com/89combo BlueSky: https://bsky.app/profile/89combo.bsky.social Find Brett and Harry on both Twitter and on BlueSky: @BMcSport + @HaribaldiJones Music: "Stalling" by Topher Mohr & Alex Elena (via YouTube Creator Studio) Voiceovers by Chookman + Sean Maloney Learn more about your ad choices.

The Springboks are expecting an enormous battle when they face the Pumas again TODAY as the Castle Lager Rugby Championship concludes at the Allianz Stadium, Twickenham in London. Kick off is at 3pm. Victory over the Pumas this afternoon, will secure Rassie Erasmus' men a second successive title. No Springbok team has achieved this before. The Boks won last week's match against Argentina 67-30 in Durban and currently lead the Rugby Championship standings by one point. Despite winning their last two games with impressive scores -- the other being a record 43-10 victory against the All Blacks in Wellington -- the Springboks are expecting a tough outing in London. This is what captain Siya Kolisi said ahead to todays game. Elvis Pessin spoke to SABC sports reporter, Simon Burke..

The Bledisloe Cup is back in storage for another year but the Rugby Championship remains up for grabs for all four teams going into the final round.

Vice-captain Jordie Barrett told Mike Hosking a week is a long time in international rugby, as the game has become so competitive and the margins are so small. He says they're making a few adjustments after last week's game, but the Rugby Championship is there to win if they really want to. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It's the final round of The 2025 Rugby Championship this weekend, with a couple of key southern hemisphere matches to be played in Perth and, er… London? Brett & Harry ask the key questions for TRC Rd.6. Can the Wallabies square the Bledisloe Cup series in Western Australia, and can Los Pumas possible bounce back against the Springboks at Twickenham?

Not all fairytales have happy endings.In the home of rugby, on the hallowed ground of Twickenham, these mighty women represented Canada, and left it all on the pitch...but it wasn't meant to be, as they came up short against the might of England, as the Red Roses were victorious, 33-13, and lifted the Women's Rugby World Cup at home.But one defeat does not undo all the effort and successes elsewhere, as this tournament has proven that women's rugby - née, women's sport - is worthy of investment and growth, and that Canada's women are eager to bring the fight, as eyes turn to Australia in 2029.And one victory is certain - after years of us saying so, Sophie de Goede is finally recognised as the best Women's Rugby Player in the world for 2025.

Promotion and relegation, franchising and the rugby pyramid; these are all issues that are so fundamental to the state of English rugby, and things so few people agree on. So, to tackle these meaty topics Will and Alex go to Twickenham to meet Simon Gillham, the chair of the new Tier 2 board, and vice-president of French Pro D2 side Brive. Can the Champ, which relaunches this weekend, and the Prem finally get on, coexist and thrive together? How could promotion to the top flight work? Will London Irish return like Worcester Warriors have? And Will there be an end to "self-interest" on all sides? We discuss it all, and rattle through the news from the opening round of the Prem, plus the finale of The Rugby Championship. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Through a thematic and broadly chronological approach, WOLSEY (Routledge, 2020) offers a fascinating insight into the life and legacy of a man who was responsible for building Henry VIII's reputation as England's most impressive king.  The book reviews Thomas Wolsey's record as the realm's leading Churchman, Lord Chancellor and political patron and thereby demonstrates how and why Wolsey became central to Henry's government for 20 years. By analysing Wolsey's role in key events such as the Field of Cloth of Gold, the study highlights how significant Wolsey was in directing and conducting England's foreign relations as the king's most trusted advisor. Based on up-to-date research, Richardson not only newly appraises the circumstances of Wolsey's fall but also challenges accusations of treason made against him. This study provides a new appreciation of Wolsey's importance as a cultural and artistic patron, as well as a royal administrator and politician; roles which helped to bring both Henry VIII and England to the forefront of foreign relations in the early-sixteenth century.  Presenting Wolsey in his contemporary and historiographical contexts more fully than any currently available study, Wolsey is perfect for students of Tudor England. Author: Glenn Richardson is a Professor of Early Modern History at St. Mary's University, Twickenham, London. He is a Fellow of the Royal Historical Society, a Fellow of the Society of Antiquaries and is an Honorary Fellow of the Historical Association. Dr. Kristen Vitale Engel, Assoc.
