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’s 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 handoff, 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.

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.
