Where Claire and Lis talk about the goings on at Saints, Lightning and Blues. We start with training where Edo Todaro provided an interesting soundtrack to his rehab work whilst Kev B chased a parcel around the Gardens. We do talk about Saints trip to the Stoop where again we were impressed by Saints’ youngsters and a debutant who used to play at Saints. Claire caught up with an old friend of the pod who Is listening to us! 

We do pick out our Ladies Wot Pod player of the match and Sgt Wilson award - it’s great to be back in the swing of it.

We do talk Bedford and their news of a campaign to Save Our Scrum as the Scrum bar needs a new roof. Claire helped the team by taking photos of the new away shirt and supporting the campaign by doing some photography stuff.

We hear news from France where Claire’s credentials as any sort of pundit were trashed by this weekend’s results. And we hear news from the Champions Cup launch where things didn’t quite go to plan.

And we have Lightning news as they headed to Buckingham and on Saturday Rugby Fest 2.0 happened at the Gardens.

Meanwhile, we have U12’s news from Towcester and NSB. The International Man of Mystery was just too busy…

And we have loads to look forward to this week. Black Lion, Worcester and yet again Claire’s punditry is rubbish because Lightning are off up north to play Sale Sharks Women!

Of course this pod is all about the build up to the semi final against Tigers, the wonderful game of rugby that we witnessed on Friday night and all the fun we had at the game.

There are shout outs to lots of people, starting with our now regular feature of news from the high seas as one player’s Dad sails his yacht around Nova Scotia. Our dear friend Ben Rhodes did something very important before the game. Claire had a busy time with cameras whilst Lis was busy with yellow towels. We do name our LWP Player of the Match and there are two very worthy winners of the Sgt Wilson Award.

We do talk about the other matches in the Gallagher PREM and The PWR.

We do have a bit of a Media corner which is just as well given Lis is a regular on the airwaves.

Where Lis is on the pod from Greece whilst Claire is still on the edge of the Fens. We start wth news from high seas as our latest chapter of Saints related sailing news has arrived.

We talk about the Saints End of Season Dinner where both Claire and Lis met lots of people, there were a lot of awards and lots of fun. Lis went on holiday and Claire went to training where she dodged the showers and met a man from the Daily Telegraph.

And of course we talk about Quins where the Saints lads set some records, we learned loads (as did some of the team) and we learned it will be Tigers in the semi final. As a result, Dave on the Sofa was out and about.

On Sunday, the first East Midlands Derby of this week happened at Welford Road - the Lightning team battled to a good win. And then it was time for some emotional goodbyes.

Finally, we look forward to the semi-final against Tigers - to say we are excited doesn’t do it justice! Bring it on!

Where Claire and Lis have a fabulous guest to talk all things Champ with Sian Haynes from Champ Rugby!!

Sian is an old friend - she was for many years the Head of Community at Saints but now she is one of the team leading the revamp of the former Championship into the Champ.

We’re visiting all corners of the country as we have a natter about the changes to the league, the clubs involved and we discover that the Saintly family is to be found in so many places!!

Where Claire and Lis discuss a remarkably busy week given Saints weren’t playing. We start with news of Saints and Lightning new contracts and a sad farewell. We talk awards for both teams which we can all watch on the telly. We do talk about the England Rugby training squad and question some choices that were and weren’t made by Steve Borthwick.

But this pod is really going to be a celebration of the wonderful performance of Bedford Blues as they secured their place in the Elior Champ Final. We talk about a brilliant evening at Goldington Road where we spotted a familiar face in the match highlights video😂 We do award our Ladies Wot Pod Player of the Match.

We also, talk about that match at Ealing Trailfinders where Ealing really did demonstrate why chickens should never be counted. All thanks to a farmer Saint!

We talk about the two Finals in Bilbao; we talk about the fall out of Saints match against Bristol Bears; the Saints Walking Rugby league is reviewed and we of course, catch up with Dave on the sofa. Dave seems to have got out and about this week.

And we look forward to a huge week of rugby - Saints continue their quest for a home semi final as they play Gloucester at the Gardens. And it will be the time when we say some goodbyes. Lightning are also at the Gardens where Lis will be on duty to present the Player of the Season.

And we look forward to the biggest game ever at Goldington Road - the Final of the Elior Champ between Bedford Blues and Worcester Warriors - Claire will be representing the Ladies Wot Pod. It should be a cracker!

Where Claire and Lis are so over excited they record the pod early - we celebrate one of the most remarkable wins ever seen at the Gardens. Two teams fighting for the top four in the Gallagher PREM but only one will want to remember this match. 

We started the week at the Gardens at training where the weather played its part and the lads were working hard. Before the game, Lis reveals she was working hard too as a Halo. Meanwhile, Claire was learning more about what people do whilst listening to the pod - apparently, we improve ironing productivity! We also received a lovely gift each from the Hendy family - Lis was swigging hers at half time whilst Claire was drinking in the car park post game - classy!

We do go through every try and it does take a while. We do name our LWP Player of the Match but we have the opposite of the Sgt Wilson award - you’ll have to listen to understand. 

Amazingly, Dave on the sofa was busy all week - we keep you all briefed of some of the stranger things Dave has been saying.

And we do reveal what Ellis Genge said to Elliot Millar Mills this time!
