Ellie is back in the saddle! 🤠 After an unexpected travel saga that left her stranded in Dubai, she finally makes it home to rejoin Jess for another ride through the rugby world.

This week on Rugby Rodeo, the pair break down the Capital Clash as Saracens secured their 12th consecutive PWR win with a 40–26 victory over Harlequins. Jess gives the inside story on the match, from the early back-and-forth to the momentum shift before half-time, her own try on 39 minutes and the impact of new attack coach Kevin Rouet.

Away from the pitch, Ellie shares updates on her brand-new book (and a heart-melting World Book Day moment from a young fan dressed as her), while both hosts mark International Women’s Day by shouting out the female athletes who’ve inspired them this year.

There’s plenty more rugby chat too: the England men’s Six Nations struggles, record team changes, leadership and emotion on the pitch, and that fiery Maro Itoje–Fin Smith moment everyone’s been talking about.

Plus: reacting to the best videos on the internet this week, answering your listener questions (from Saracens’ mysterious mini-net game to weird compliments and festival stories), and giving shout-outs to rugby communities from Wimborne to Sydney.
