      <title>Six Nations Crunch Time &amp; Fallow Week BTS</title>
      <description>The fallow week is over and Rugby Rodeo is back in the saddle with plenty to get stuck into as the Six Nations enters a crucial stretch.

Ellie and Jess lift the lid on what actually happens during a fallow week in camp – is it feet up and recovery mode or harder graft behind the scenes? From training intensity to team bonding, they give a proper insight into life inside the Red Roses environment when there’s no match day.

There’s also a big talking point shaking up the women’s game, with World Rugby announcing plans to trial a smaller ball at WXV. The girls give their honest take on the proposed size 4.5 ball, with strong opinions already circulating across the game – including from Zoe Harrison.

Attention then turns to England vs Italy, with the Red Roses team named. Helena Rowland brings up her 50th cap, Ellie reflects on another switch to the wing, and Jess opens up on being rotated out this week and what those selection conversations really look like. Plus, what threat do Italy pose off the back of their win over Scotland, and why Francesca Sgorbini is one to watch.

We also catch up on the action from the week we missed, as England secured the Triple Crown with a 62–24 win over Wales. From a standout debut for Millie David to a vintage performance from Marlie Packer and the ever-influential Meg Jones, there’s plenty to unpack.

Finally, with injuries and rotation forcing a fresh look to this Red Roses squad, Ellie and Jess discuss how different this campaign feels – and whether there’s already one eye on that massive final-round showdown in Bordeaux against France, who are building nicely under a new coach.

      <title>Six Nations Catch Up with Ellie, Jess &amp; Zoe</title>
      <description>After a week off due to a hectic schedule, the girls return to break down a dominant Red Roses performance against Scotland — and what it says about the ridiculous depth in this England squad. With 13 World Cup players missing, the spotlight fell on fresh faces like 19-year-old Bristol back rower Demelza Short on debut, while Maddie Feaunati continues to make serious noise. 

Ellie reflects on a switch to the wing for her 50th cap, grabbing a brace in the process, and lifts the lid on the key differences between fullback and wing at the top level. 

The performance itself? Clinical. Lightning ruck speed, ruthless accuracy in the 22, and a flawless kicking display from Zoe Harrison who joins us for today's Pod! 

All that and more, before we head back to Allianz Twickenham to face Wales So settle back, enjoy, and make sure you’re subscribed on Spotify.

      <title>Red Roses V Ireland Preview | Womens Six Nations 2026</title>
      <description>With the 2026 Women’s Six Nations about to kick off, Ellie Kildunne and Jess Breach are back to tee up a massive opening clash: England v Ireland.



We dive straight into camp life — how the girls are feeling heading into round one, what prep week really looks like at Test level, and whether there’s been any chaos (on or off the pitch 👀). From team meetings to individual match-ups, how much detail actually goes into breaking down the opposition?



There’s plenty to get stuck into with a fresh Red Roses lineup as well as looking over at Ireland, who come into this years competition with a point to prove.



Get ready for a HUGE opening weekend… and we’ll see you back here next week.



YEEEEHAW 🤠

      <title>Winning Gold at the Scariest Sport in the Olympics - Tabby Stoecker </title>
      <description>This week on Rugby Rodeo, Jess and Ellie are joined by a VERY special guest… Olympic skeleton gold medallist Tabby Stoecker in the Spotify studio!

From flying head-first down an ice track at ridiculous speeds (seriously… how is that even a sport?!) to standing at the top of an Olympic final with the world watching — Tabby takes us inside one of the most extreme sports on the planet.

We get into:


  
What skeleton actually is (and why it’s completely insane)



  
Just how fast you’re going… and how you even steer 😳



  
The reality of crashes, injuries, and fear (or lack of it…)



  
Her mad journey into the sport via an Instagram talent ID 



  
From gymnastics + circus school to Olympic gold… 



  
What training looks like when there’s no ice track in the UK





  
The pressure of that final run… and what goes through your head



  
Winning gold with Matt Weston and how they celebrated 



  
The reality of funding and life as an Olympic athlete




It’s a wild one this week — proper insight, big laughs, and a sport that makes rugby look… relatively sensible.

We’ll be back next week with more Rodeo chaos… but for now…

YEEHAW 🤠

  <li>
<p>What skeleton <em>actually</em> is (and why it’s completely insane)</p>
</li>
  <li>
<p>Just how fast you’re going… and how you even steer 😳</p>
</li>
  <li>
<p>The reality of crashes, injuries, and fear (or lack of it…)</p>
</li>
  <li>
<p>Her mad journey into the sport via an Instagram talent ID </p>
</li>
  <li>
<p>From gymnastics + circus school to Olympic gold… </p>
</li>
  <li>
<p>What training looks like when there’s no ice track in the UK</p>
</li>
</ul>
<ul>
  <li>
<p>The pressure of that final run… and what goes through your head</p>
</li>
  <li>
<p>Winning gold with Matt Weston and how they celebrated </p>
</li>
  <li>
<p>The reality of funding and life as an Olympic athlete</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p>It’s a wild one this week — proper insight, big laughs, and a sport that makes rugby look… relatively sensible.</p>
<p>We’ll be back next week with more Rodeo chaos… but for now…</p>

      <title>England Men's 6N Misery &amp; Capital Clash Worldies!</title>
      <description>Ellie is back in the saddle! 🤠 After an unexpected travel saga that left her stranded in Dubai, she finally makes it home to rejoin Jess for another ride through the rugby world.

This week on Rugby Rodeo, the pair break down the Capital Clash as Saracens secured their 12th consecutive PWR win with a 40–26 victory over Harlequins. Jess gives the inside story on the match, from the early back-and-forth to the momentum shift before half-time, her own try on 39 minutes and the impact of new attack coach Kevin Rouet. 

Away from the pitch, Ellie shares updates on her brand-new book (and a heart-melting World Book Day moment from a young fan dressed as her), while both hosts mark International Women’s Day by shouting out the female athletes who’ve inspired them this year.

There’s plenty more rugby chat too: the England men’s Six Nations struggles, record team changes, leadership and emotion on the pitch, and that fiery Maro Itoje–Fin Smith moment everyone’s been talking about.

Plus: reacting to the best videos on the internet this week, answering your listener questions (from Saracens’ mysterious mini-net game to weird compliments and festival stories), and giving shout-outs to rugby communities from Wimborne to Sydney.

      <title>Olympic Underdogs to Rugby World Cup Heartache: Canada's 12 Month Rollercoaster - Alysha Corrigan </title>
      <description>This week Jess is joined by friend of the pod Emma Swords stepping into the co-host saddle, and a very special guest all the way from Canada — Saracens and Canada international Alysha Corrigan.

Alysha opens up about her journey from growing up in Canada — where women’s rugby often flies under the radar — to taking a leap of faith and moving across the world to chase the professional game in England. She talks about the sacrifices behind that decision, the toughest off-field adjustments to life in the UK, and the moment she realised rugby could take her to the very top of the sport.

The conversation dives into Canada’s incredible run at the 2025 Women’s Rugby World Cup, including what it felt like to play in the record-breaking final at Allianz Twickenham, how the squad reflects on finishing second now the dust has settled, and the unforgettable memories from the tournament.

Alysha also reflects on a wild 12 months of rugby, going from an Olympic silver medal in Paris 2024 to challenging for World Cup gold, and the mental and emotional rollercoaster that comes with competing on the biggest stages in sport.

YEEEEHAW.

      <title>Bikini Photoshoots, Six Nations &amp; Valentines Plans</title>
      <description>We kick things off with a PWR recap and dive straight into the big talking points — Gloucester-Hartpury’s relentless dominance as they go 10 from 10, a huge performance from Sisilia Tuipulotu, and whether Harlequins can take confidence from a losing bonus point that could prove massive come the business end of the season. 

There was chaos in Saracens vs Bristol as Ruahei Demant brought that trademark Black Ferns magic, Sarah Bern powered over, and Zoe Harrison iced the game with a seriously cold late penalty. The girls also unpack Bristol’s tricky season so far after last year’s strong finish.

Elsewhere, Exeter leapfrog Quins with a dominant win over Loughborough, while Sale snatched victory in dramatic fashion against Trailfinders — including Canada’s Asia Hogan-Rochester delivering a top-tier celebration that absolutely deserved airtime.

We look ahead to next weekend’s fixtures, before switching gears to a Men’s Six Nations round-up — where Scotland stunned England, snapping their winning streak and raising big questions about England’s attack efficiency, discipline, and backline creativity. Jess and Ellie also give their honest back-three perspective on Henry Arundell’s tough afternoon.

Ireland edged past a massively improved Italy, sparking discussion around Sam Prendergast, online pressure, and Andy Farrell’s powerful comments — plus standout performances from James Lowe and a brilliant return from Robert Baloucoune.

Of course, it wouldn’t be Rugby Rodeo without listeners’ questions — covering everything from nutrition and training routines to pancake toppings, Wagamama orders, underrated rugby skills, and which dog breed the girls would be (important journalism).

So saddle up, settle in, and as always… Yeehaw 🤠

      <title>BIG Six Nations Review, Sarries Back with a BANG &amp; Ellie LOVES Hand-offs</title>
      <description>We’re back on the rodeo sofa and this week it’s wall-to-wall rugby. 🤠🏉

On this episode of Rugby Rodeo, Ellie Kildunne and Jess Breach react to a HUGE weekend in the women’s game – and a blockbuster opening round of the men’s Six Nations championship too.

We start with a ruthless statement win for Saracens against Leicester Tigers – including Jess’ flying return to action. Was there any fear of rust after such a long break… or did the bodies feel fresher than ever?

Then it’s one of the games of the season so far as Harlequins and Exeter Chiefs play out a 38–38 thriller. Three sin-bins, relentless Quins pressure, a missed kick at the death… and Ellie talks us through her try – the dummy, the hand-off and the finish. Pure class.

The girls also dive into the opening weekend of the men’s Six Nations Championship – breaking down England’s big win over Wales, France’s statement performance against Ireland (including that pre-match light show and blockbuster TV audience), and Italy’s shock victory over Scotland in absolutely horrendous conditions.

Plus…💌 Valentine’s Day plans🎤 Jess’ behind-the-scenes 02 room stories🔥 favourite tries of the weekend – and why they stood out🌧️ how much rain really levels a match

And of course… it wouldn’t be Rugby Rodeo without your questions.One song they’d survive on for a year, hidden talents, everyday things that make them happy – and what their Instagram algorithms think they’re obsessed with.

We finish with a massive round of community shout-outs – grassroots wins, debuts, comebacks from injury, first-ever girls’ XVs, derby doubles on the line… and even a special celebration recommendation for a first try this weekend.

      <title>The Journey to the Red Roses FEAT Jess' Mum</title>
      <description>We have a VERY special episode this week on Rugby Rodeo, as for the first time ever, Jess' mum Trish joins us!

But before the family interview, the girls catch up on a very busy week.

Ellie lifts the lid on releasing her own book – how the whole idea came about, what the writing process was really like, and what fans can expect inside... 

There’s also one of the wildest off-field stories of the season, as Ellie tells the full tale of how Jason Derulo ended up asking for her number.



Then… it’s time for a truly special chat as Jess’s mum joins the show.

She talks about when she first realised rugby wasn’t just a hobby for Jess, what Jess was really like growing up at home, and what supporting an elite athlete actually looks like as a parent.

From watching her daughter make her England debut, to dealing with the nerves of big collisions and injuries – and sharing the moments fans never get to see – it’s an honest, emotional and brilliantly personal conversation.

To finish, Jess’s mum reflects on how proud she feels seeing women’s rugby grow, and what it means knowing her daughter is part of the generation helping change the game.

Yeehaw. 🎙️🤠

      <title>Sophie Power: Breastfeeding mid-way through a 100mile race, ULTRA Marathons &amp; Changing the Sport for Good.</title>
      <description>This week on Rugby Rodeo, Ellie Kildunne and Jess Breach are joined on the Rodeo sofa by one of the toughest, most inspiring athletes on the planet — Sophie Power.

Sophie is a world-leading ultra-marathon runner, Guinness World Record holder and a genuine trailblazer in endurance sport. She first became globally known after an extraordinary photo of her breastfeeding her three-month-old baby mid-race during a 100+ mile mountain ultra — an image later named by The Guardian as one of the photos that reshaped sport, sparking a global conversation about equality, motherhood and opportunity for women in sport.

Ahead of the release of her new autobiography The Power Within, Sophie takes us inside the wild world of ultra-running: what an ultra-marathon actually is, how you even begin to train for events that last days, and why her very first race was the infamous Marathon des Sables — a 250km, self-supported slog across the Sahara Desert in 40–50°C heat.

She opens up about “going to dark places”, the real dangers of extreme endurance racing (including a race that left her in a coma with a 50% chance of death), and the mental resilience needed to keep moving when your body wants to stop. We also dive deep into the story behind that iconic UTMB photo — why she raced while breastfeeding, what it cost her, and why pregnancy is still treated differently to injury in elite sport.

There’s also plenty on Sophie’s work beyond racing. She tells Ellie and Jess about her charity SheRaces, the SheRaces guidelines, and her mission to create fairer, safer and more inclusive start lines — from trail running to rugby pitches.

Settle back, enjoy — and make sure you’re subscribed. 



'The Power Within' is out now at all good retailers and is also available in audiobook format. More information on Sophie's charity SheRACES  can be found here: https://www.sheraces.com/

      <description>This week on Rugby Rodeo, Ellie Kildunne and Jess Breach hand the reins over to you for a full-blown Listeners Questions Special.

Before diving into the inbox, the girls give a big PWR league roundup, with Saracens currently top, Gloucester-Hartpury ready to pounce, and a ridiculously tight scrap brewing from 3rd to 6th.

And just when you think it couldn’t get more chaotic… Ellie and Jess go head-to-head in:

🧠💥 WRONG ANSWERS ONLY – wraps in hand, 30 seconds on the clock, Emma firing questions, and penalties paid in slaps...



Finally, it’s all about the grassroots love with shoutouts to:🏉 Bromley Girls U12s in the Kent Waterfall Final🏉 Strathmore RFC offering a FREE women’s rugby block🏉 Jakarta Bantengs hosting their first touch tournament🏉 Kings Norton Girls buzzing to be back🏉 And Belsize Park Women for being the ultimate rugby girlies 💙

      <description>Ellie and Jess are fresh from their first week back in Red Roses camp at Pennyhill Park. They chat all things England camp life – why it’s happening now, what the focus is post-World Cup, who they were most excited to see, and how hard it is to reset motivation after such a massive goal. There’s fitness testing pain, tactical chats, team culture chat, and an honest look at what comes next on the road to the Six Nations. Plus, a full debrief on the Red Roses Gold Party, Windsor Castle adventures, listener questions covering everything from uncapped standouts and dream holidays to Nando’s spice levels, and shoutouts celebrating rugby from Argentina 7s to grassroots clubs smashing it at home.

      <title>Liv Apps: RWC Heartache, Embracing Individuality &amp; English Culture </title>
      <description>It’s the final episode of the year and we’re going out with an absolute cracker.

This week, Ellie and Jess  are joined in studio by Canada international scrum-half and Saracens star Liv Apps — one of the most exciting players in the women’s game right now. From RWC stardom to making an instant impact in the PWR, Liv opens up like never before.

Liv takes us through how her short-term move to Saracens came about and what life has been like settling into a new club and country. We rewind all the way back to her rugby beginnings in Canada, a nation where rugby isn’t always front and centre, and explore the journey that’s shaped her both on and off the pitch.

In a powerful and honest conversation, Liv shares her story of being diagnosed with alopecia at just seven years old, how it affected her growing up, learning to embrace her identity, and becoming a role model for young girls watching her perform on the biggest stages in world rugby. She also reflects on the heartbreak of the Rugby World Cup final, how she processes that experience now, and the advice she’d give her younger self.

What did the girls Spotify Wrapped look like this year?



  
Most underrated PWR player?



  
Should women’s rugby have a Champions Cup-style competition across England, France &amp; NZ?

We answer your best questions including:


  
What did the girls Spotify Wrapped look like this year?



  
Most underrated PWR player?



  
Should women’s rugby have a Champions Cup-style competition across England, France &amp; NZ?

      <title>Double Kildunne,  Abby Dow Retires &amp; Advent Calendar Controversy</title>
      <description>This week on Rugby Rodeo, Jess is joined by not one… but TWO Kildunnes! That’s right — Ellie’s little brother Sam Kildunne jumps in the saddle for a family edition of the pod.

Sam’s just 22 but already has some CV: BUCS Super Rugby with Loughborough, a GB 7s jersey, and now a contract with Ampthill in the Championship. Jess goes straight for the sibling dirt — what Ellie was really like growing up, who caused the most chaos, the pettiest argument they’ve had this year, and whose fault it was (because it’s always someone’s). And yes, we get the definitive verdict on sibling rivalry in the Kildunne household.

Ellie dives into Sam’s rugby journey — BUCS life, moving into the Championship, the physicality jump, how he balances sevens aspirations with 15s, and what advice he has for players at uni or school trying to go pro. Plus Sam reveals his proudest moment watching Ellie — grab tissues.

We also cover:
🏉 Aby Dow’s retirement
⏱️ Ellie’s Lateness Chart — has Double Kildunne doubled the delays or fixed them?
✈️ Ellie hearing her own voice on the Heathrow tannoy
🎄 Jess vs Archie’s advent calendar controversy
🏟️ Ealing 5–57 Saracens — London fully belongs to Sarries, with Jess in the mix for a couple of tries

      <title>England's New Magician &amp; the Hardest Tackler in Women's Rugby</title>
      <description>Ellie Kildunne and Jess Breach are back in the saddle for another week of Rugby Rodeo — and London is looking extremely festive. But have the girls even bought a single present yet? 

Jess has just landed back from Jersey with stories to tell, while Ellie’s been everywhere: hosting a lunches, dancing and still finding time to watch all the Quilter Autumn Nations games...



We chat: Tom Curry's late shot on Juan Cruz Mallia and the fallout that came of it, England's new magician Max Ojomoh and the most one-sided scrum domination we've ever seen!

🎤 Listeners’ Questions:Skills swaps, underrated perks of being Red Roses, hardest hitters, talent shows, crisp flavours(?!), and Jess gives her Top 3 tips for becoming a world-class winger.



💌 SHOUTOUTS GALORE!We go global this week — from Broad Plain U8s to the WBRC Bobcats in the US, the Kyogale Cockies in Australia, Toronto City Amazons, Santa Monica Women’s Rugby in LA… and heaps of love for teams across the UK including Mansfield Ladies, the Lowestoft Dragons U14s, Bromsgrove Calts, Yate Women’s Rugby and a big get-well-soon to Beatrix recovering from concussion ❤️



And that’s us done for this week! Back next Thursday — AND we’ve got some exciting guests coming up. Until then… YEEEEE-HAW! 🤠

      <title>Meeting Henry Pollock, Respect the Haka &amp; Ellie's Heathrow Takeover </title>
      <description>If you’re flying out of Heathrow anytime soon, don’t be shocked if you hear a familiar Yorkshire twang over the tannoy. Yep — Ellie is officially the Voice of Christmas at Heathrow. We get the full story of how she ended up bringing festive cheer to Terminal 5.

Jess also had a pretty special week as Chichester Rugby Club officially named a stand after her. She tells us why the club means so much to her, how it all came about, and what went down on the SURPRISE opening day.

The girls break down Ellie’s mystery announcement she teased on socials, before diving into England men’s massive win over the All Blacks at a packed Allianz. We chat England climbing to 3rd in the world, THAT oldest-to-youngest haka formation, Henry Pollock licking his lips, and which exciting young players  the girls are backing right now.

Then—HUGE news for the PWR: Ruahei Demant signs for Bristol Bears. The 2022 World Player of the Year and World Cup-winning Black Ferns captain heading to England?! Jess and Ellie discuss what it means for the league, the Bears, and the growing pull of English women’s rugby.

Jess had her feet up this weekend but Sarries barely noticed—a 79–5 demolition of Leicester, a ridiculous Olivia Apps finish, and another big flex of their international-stacked depth even with Jess resting. Meanwhile, Ellie breaks down what went wrong for Quins in their disappointing defeat away down at Sandy Park.

Then it’s LISTENERS QUESTIONS time with an elite batch this week:– One quote they live by– Favourite Lioness– What they miss most about home– How they unwind after big match adrenaline– Are they hyped for GTA 6?– What made them fall in love with rugby– And… which kitchen utensil they’d be 🤠

Finally, SHOUTOUTS galore this week:

💙 Dunbar RFC U16s heading to Orkney in the Scottish National Cup💛 Medway U12s smashing 3/3 in the waterfall league🌍 INTERNATIONAL SHOUTOUT: Ade and Piper spreading the women’s rugby gospel in Ethiopia and now Virginia – get down to NOVA Vipers Rugby and join the crew!

See you next week, YEE-HAW!

      <title>Derby Day Fallout, Jess' Birthday &amp; Becoming Doctors?!</title>
      <description>It’s party hats and post-match stats this week as Ellie Kildunne and Jess Breach saddle up for a very special episode — because it was Jess’ birthday! 🎂

Ellie puts Jess through a round of birthday interrogation — from her earliest cake memory to the Red Roses teammate most likely to forget the big day...

Then it’s back to business as the girls ride through another HUGE weekend of PWR action:

      <title>London Derbies &amp; Late Charts</title>
      <description>Hold onto your cowboy hats, because this week’s episode of Rugby Rodeo is packed tighter than Ellie’s calendar (which… might explain the new lateness chart 😅).

Ellie Kildunne and her Saracens pal Jess Breach are back — and Jess has some massive news to share 👀. She’s re-signed with Saracens! The girls chat through the deal, why she’s staying put, and what makes the Sarries setup so special.

That’s not all — there’s a new face at the club too. Kevin Rouet, the mastermind behind Canada’s attacking game at the World Cup, joins as Saracens’ new attack coach. Expect fireworks.

Then it’s time to look ahead to the London Derby — Saracens vs Quins, this Sunday. No talk of “duels” here, just North vs South, as Ellie (North London) and Jess (South London) battle it out in the ultimate This or That: best football teams, landmarks, rappers, brunch spots, and stadiums — The Stoop or the StoneX? You decide.

Away from the pitch, Ellie’s been living her best life — from rocking a custom NFL jersey to walking the red carpet at the Pride of Britain Awards. The girls share the most inspiring moment from the night and a few behind-the-scenes stories too 👀.

Then it’s Listeners’ Questions — from shouting vs whispering, dream guests, chaotic memories, and what female players should get instead of ties  plus shoutouts to the University of Chicago Women’s Rugby Team and the unstoppable Bracknell U14s Girls.

The perfect warm-up for London’s biggest clash - Yeehaw!

      <title>  Sara Cox MBE: Breaking Barriers and Blowing the Whistle</title>
      <description>This week on Rugby Rodeo, Jess and Ellie are joined by one of the most respected officials in world rugby, Sara Cox MBE. From retiring as a young player to making history as the first female referee in Premiership Rugby, Sara’s journey is one of resilience, trailblazing and passion for the game. The trio chat through her early days finding her voice in a male-dominated field, the nerves and pride of that iconic Premiership debut, and the significance of reaching her 50th international Test. They also dive into the lighter side, the funniest moments, toughest calls, matchdays, and what fans don’t see behind the whistle. Sara opens up about being the first woman in many of her roles, collecting her MBE from Princess Anne, and what the next generation of referees can expect. It’s an inspiring, funny, and honest conversation with one of rugby’s true groundbreakers. Presented by Emirates.

      <title>Girls Holidays, Shushing Rivals &amp; Toxic Traits</title>
      <description>Ellie’s finally got her voice back (hallelujah 🙌) and both she and Jess are looking a little more bronzed, blissed-out, and maybe slightly too relaxed after their time in Dubai. From beach clubs and dune buggies to questionable tan lines and TikToks with a bored-looking Archie in the background — it’s fair to say the girls have had quite the two weeks off.

They’re chatting all things post-World Cup recovery, how easy (or not) it is to “switch off,” what it’s like returning to club life after lifting the biggest trophy in women’s rugby, and what their goals are for the season ahead.

PLUS — 2Truths and a Lie: Dubai Edition 🌴Who’s telling porkies? Who actually ate the weird chocolate? And who maybe got a bit too comfy at a beach club?

And of course… it wouldn’t be Rugby Rodeo without LISTENERS’ QUESTIONS.This week the Rodeo faithful ask:


  
How do you capitalise on the buzz of a Rugby World Cup win? 🏆



  
Ellie, what’s it like having your own Barbie doll?!



  
What’s your toxic trait?



  
Who would win in a fight? (We finally get an answer 👀)




Finally, we’ve got SHOUTOUTS GALORE to the Sarries girls lifting the Prem Cup, Ruislip Rubies’ Zoe scoring her first ever try, and Kamloops junior girls getting their first ever W! 💪

It’s laughter, honesty, sunshine and chaos — all wrapped up in that Rodeo energy you know and love.

So saddle up, press play, and as always… YEEEE-HAW! 🤠

      <title>The BIGGEST RWC Final in Women’s Rugby History</title>
      <description>Ohhh my word… we’ve made it! After two SENSATIONAL semi-finals (and yes, Sara’s voice still hasn’t fully recovered 🙃), we’re here to preview the BIG one: the Rugby World Cup 2025 Final.

England. Canada. Two unbeaten sides. Two very different styles. One trophy on the line.

We’re breaking it all down – from Canada’s offloading, high-tempo chaos to the Roses’ set-piece dominance and Zoe Harrison’s metronome boot. Can anyone stop England’s rolling maul? Can Canada’s lightning ruck speed flip the script? And what about the nerves – Red Roses in their SEVENTH straight final vs Canada’s first since 2014. Pressure or freedom?

We’ll also chat individual match-winners (Ellie K, Sophie de Goede, Megan Jones, Julia Schell 👀), pick our Emirates High Flyer of the Week, catch up on the PWR Cup, and shout out the legends at every level of the game – from Rocky Clark and the Golden Girls cycling 750 miles for MND, to grassroots sides smashing their first ever wins.

So settle in, because next week we’ll know who are the new Queens of the rugby world. Will it be the Red Roses or the Maple Leafs? We can’t wait. YEEE-HAW 🤠🏉✨

      <itunes:summary>Ohhh my word… we’ve made it! After two SENSATIONAL semi-finals (and yes, Sara’s voice still hasn’t fully recovered 🙃), we’re here to preview the BIG one: the Rugby World Cup 2025 Final.

England. Canada. Two unbeaten sides. Two very different styles. One trophy on the line.

We’re breaking it all down – from Canada’s offloading, high-tempo chaos to the Roses’ set-piece dominance and Zoe Harrison’s metronome boot. Can anyone stop England’s rolling maul? Can Canada’s lightning ruck speed flip the script? And what about the nerves – Red Roses in their SEVENTH straight final vs Canada’s first since 2014. Pressure or freedom?

      <title>Semi Finals Showdowns with a Red Rose &amp; a Maple Leaf</title>
      <description>It’s SEMI FINALS WEEK and Sara and Emma are breaking down all the chaos from the quarter-finals — France’s wild comeback against Ireland (and the bite that’s had everyone talking), the Black Ferns’ second-half takeover against South Africa, and whether Ireland are now ready to crash the top tier of women’s rugby...

PLUS we’ve got not one, but TWO special guests joining the rodeo ring: Red Roses fly-half and ice-cold kicker Zoe Harrison, and Canada’s point-scoring machine Julia Schell. Expect big insights, plenty of laughs, and even a cheeky This or That: Canada vs UK quiz to settle once and for all whether poutine beats fish &amp; chips.

We’re also handing out our Emirates High Flyer of the Week (some serious contenders this round 👀), diving into the best rugby TikToks shaking up the women’s game, AND giving our shoutouts to the legends of the grassroots.

Strap in, folks. Semi finals are here, the stakes couldn’t be higher, and we are BUZZING. 🏉✨

      <title>Quarter Final Bookings &amp; Cowboy Hat Tricks </title>
      <description>The Rugby World Cup group stages are nearly done and Round 2 did NOT disappoint – so we’re back in the saddle to bring you all the drama, all the tries, and all the slides...

Emma &amp; Sara break down a blockbuster weekend:

🏉 Scotland’s Quarter-Final Sealing Win – Francesca McGhie starring with two tries and a crucial charge-down, Rhona Lloyd unstoppable on the wing.🍁 Canada’s Shut-Out Statement – Sophie de Goede flawless off the tee and everywhere else.🇫🇷 France in Cruise Control – 84–5 vs Brazil, with Bianca Silva making history.🏴 Red Roses Roll On – Helena Rowland breaks the RWC points record (27!), Jess Breach bags a hat-trick and hits the 50-try milestone.

We also get into the pool permutations – what Australia and USA need to sneak into the final QF spot (spoiler: the maths is not pretty for the Eagles 🦅).



Plus, we hand out the Rugby Rodeo Performance of the Round award – Evie Gallagher’s 35 tackles? Sophie de Goede’s dominance? Portia Woodman-Wickliffe breaking records? Jess Breach rewriting history? You’ll have to tune in to find out… 👀

And as always, we finish with listener shoutouts – from Haywards Heath’s brand-new women’s team, to Dunfermline U18s, to Sheffield Hallamshire RUFC playing their first ever match.

It’s stacked, it’s spicy, and it’s full of rodeo energy – hit play, subscribe on Spotify, and YEEE-HAW your way into the quarter-finals with us 🤠

      <title>Why I Quit Pro Rugby | Archie White Joins the Rodeo</title>
      <description>No Ellie this week… but stepping in is none other than professional rugby player Archie White — and, perhaps more notably, Jess Breach’s other half. Joining us from the Spotify Studios, Archie opens up about his bold decision to step away from the game at just 27. He shares the unusual reasons behind the move, his favourite memories on the pitch, the sacrifices he's made throughout his career — and even spills the tea on who really wears the trousers in his relationship with Jess.

      <description>In this episode, Jess Breach and Ellie Kildunne are joined by Saracens and Welsh fly-half Flo Williams.

The trio explore what rugby can learn from other sports, how the Lionesses managed to capture a nation’s heart, and why the men’s game could take a few cues from the women’s.

      <title>Episode 8 -  Rodeo HALLOWEEN Special - Trick, Treat &amp; Tries!</title>
      <description>It's a Halloween special of Rugby Rodeo, with Ellie and Jess bringing the tricks, treats, and tries. Jess gives us an injury update - how’s life on crutches treating her, and is Archie pulling his weight as her personal assistant? Then, it’s into the rugby action as Ellie breaks down her show-stopping try for Quins that clinched the 22-19 win over Loughborough. We also celebrate a milestone for Leanne Infante, who announced her retirement after her 100th cap against Gloucester-Hartpury. Meanwhile, Saracens continue their unbeaten run with a 49-38 thriller over Gloucester, plus, some quickfire takes on the other big games. And, because it’s Halloween, Jess spills about her love for the holiday, especially with her birthday around the corner and a reveal of each other’s costumes. Plus, listener questions this week and lots and lots of shout outs, so thank you to everyone who sends them in!

      <title>Episode 2 - Behind the Roses: Getting to Know Us &amp; Our Journey to Becoming Red Roses</title>
      <description>We’re back for another episode, and first things first: massive thanks for all the love and support on our launch last week! Whether you followed us on Instagram, TikTok, Spotify, or just dropped a comment, we see you and appreciate every bit of it. Keep sharing the show with friends, in your WhatsApp groups, or on socials - it means the world to us!

In this week’s episode, we’re going deeper, giving you a sneak peek behind the scenes of our lives as Red Roses. From pre-game jitters to post-match hangs, and even our first impressions of each other (you don’t want to miss these stories)! We’re answering your burning questions—like what we love outside of rugby, our toxic traits (yep, we’re spilling), and even what song we’d want blasting every time we score.

If you're listening on Spotify, good news you can now watch the video too! Oh, and did we mention the big news? We’ve been selected for the Red Roses squad heading to Canada! So next week, it’s all about camp life, behind-the-scenes fun, and what we get up to when we’re not on the pitch.

Don't forget to follow us on Instagram and TikTok @RugbyRodeo, send in your questions, and most importantly, make sure you’re subscribed on Spotify to never miss an episode!
