We\u2019re back on the rodeo sofa, and this week it\u2019s wall-to-wall rugby. \ud83e\udd20\ud83c\udfc9<\/p>\n
On this episode of\u00a0Rugby Rodeo, Ellie Kildunne and Jess Breach react to a HUGE weekend in the women\u2019s game\u2013and a blockbuster opening round of the men\u2019s Six Nations championship, too.<\/p>\n
We start with a ruthless statement win for Saracens against Leicester Tigers\u2013including Jess\u2019s flying return to action. Was there any fear of rust after such a long break \u2026 or did the bodies feel fresher than ever?<\/p>\n
Then it\u2019s 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 \u2026 and Ellie talks us through her try\u2013the dummy, the handoff, and the finish. Pure class.<\/p>\n
The girls also dive into the opening weekend of the men\u2019s Six Nations Championship\u2013breaking down England\u2019s big win over Wales, France\u2019s statement performance against Ireland (including that pre-match light show and blockbuster TV audience), and Italy\u2019s shock victory over Scotland in absolutely horrendous conditions.<\/p>\n
