In this episode we speak to Ireland international Lauren Delany. Outside of rugby, Lauren is a Performance Nutritionist and is currently studying for a PhD in behaviour change. We chat about how being a nutritionist has helped her as an athlete, what types of food we should be eating before and after games (and what she puts on her plate!) and we chat about the spread of foods on offer before and after a Six Nations match- especially when you're in Italy! 

Lauren also talks about her transition into the sport from 15 years playing basketball and what it's really like to attend an Irish qualified Talent ID day. She also tells us one of her best/worst jokes for our 'Tale, Joke, Bottle of Coke' section.  

This week's Rhino Rugby Star of the Week competition winner is Debbie and the U18 players at Dolphin RFC who have been fantastic in welcoming the girls and women to their new home from Highfield. Look out for your Rhino Rugby goodies in the post!
