]]> The Ringer ringerfeed@spotify.com Six Nations Crunch Time & Fallow Week BTS 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.

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.

]]> 3013 The Journey to the Red Roses FEAT Jess' Mum 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.

]]> 3022 Sophie Power: Breastfeeding mid-way through a 100mile race, ULTRA Marathons & Changing the Sport for Good. 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.

]]> 2944 Double Kildunne, Abby Dow Retires & Advent Calendar Controversy 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 YEE-HAW Learn more about your ad choices.

Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices 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.

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 👀)

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!
