Week 38

This week on the pod Scotty Stevenson is joined by Melodie Robinson, a two-time World Cup winning Black Fern and broadcaster, to talk over the state of women’s rugby. They dig into the lack of coverage given to the women’s game, the need for newsrooms to employ more female rugby reporters, and the threat Sevens poses to the 15-a-side game.

Oh, and there’s also some talk about the weekend’s internationals, and whether rugby players will still be allowed to tackle in the wake of Ireland’s national meltdown this week.
