Rugby Rodeo

It's the Season 2 finale of Rugby Rodeo, and Jess Breach, Ellie Kildunne and Emma Swords are looking back on a remarkable year both on and off the pitch.

After 40 episodes, the pair reflect on their favourite moments from the podcast, the conversations and guests that stayed with them, and the incredible journey they've experienced over the last 12 months. From becoming Rugby World Cup winners and securing another Grand Slam to record-breaking crowds and individual honours, they discuss what surprised them most and the unseen moments that truly shaped their season.

They open up about the lessons they've learned the hard way, how they've changed as people, and what they've discovered about each other while sharing so many unforgettable moments in an England shirt. They also reveal what really makes the Red Roses special behind closed doors, answer your listener questions, share their biggest fears, and talk about the achievements they're most proud of away from rugby.

Thank you for listening, watching and supporting Rugby Rodeo throughout Season 2. We'll see you soon for more stories, more laughs and more rugby. Until then... yeehaw.
