Scaz & Mo popped by the studio just before they flew to Canada, to discuss pre-season, WXV, the Black Ferns and Ilona Maher’s world that we’re all just living in. Expect more Moisms, a few Scazisms, lots of rugby & somehow even more silliness, as ever, shepherded by our South African Queen. | |||

Scaz & Mo are Elma-less again, but this time, they’re joined by the trailblazing referee, most capped female match official, & newly awarded MBE, Sara Cox. With the new Whistleblowers documentary, Hollie Davidson’s Men’s Six Nations appearance & Aimee Barrett-Theron’s viral ‘I'm not mad, just really disappointed’ moment, refereeing is all over our news feeds right now. Coxy sheds light on how tough it can be in the middle with such grey areas in rugby’s law book, how much she loves coming into England camp to work with the Red Roses & her FIVE hour long kangaroo court session in New Zealand two years ago. | |||
| S4: EmpowHER: The Next Generation | 03 Jul 2024 | 00:58:40 | |
The PWR season is done & dusted. Mo and the Gloucester girls won, we had a party on the pitch, and now it’s time to wrap up our EmpowHER project, which aimed to connect uni rugby to the elite game. So on the show this week, Elma is joined by Mo & her mentee Em, as well as Scotland captain, Rachel Malcolm & her mentee Tash to discuss what your sock length & hair parting says about your age… and the difference our mentoring programme and Vodafone’s Player.Connect software has made on & off the pitch. | |||

With the first ever Women’s Lions tour finally on the horizon, Scaz & Mo (with the help of some Irish, Scottish & Welsh friends) put their heads together to pick a starting IV Lions side. Without picking themselves, they come up with a team that spans the four nations - which makes their hearts hurt at the talent they’ve had to leave out. Oh, and Elma & KDM pop up to Durham to catch up with some of the university rugby team who are part of the EmpowHER project we’re running with Vodafone.

Christmas has come early for our cat lady, who can’t believe her luck at having two South Africans in the studio with her… the Women Boks captain, Babalwa Latsha & her teammate for club & country, Aseza Hele. Babalwa is such a force that every time she speaks at this time of year, sleigh bells can be heard - that is until Elma asks her to take her reindeer antlers off… Aseza tells the girls about her incredible journey to find rugby & become one of the best No.8s in the world. & Scaz & Mo can’t believe how early on Elma manages to wedge in mention of the postal service - it might be a record. Expect emotional moments, new friendships & pigs in blankets. | |||
| S4 Ep3: Jo Yapp: Worcester to the Wallaroos | 14 Dec 2023 | 01:02:49 | |
Scaz, Elma & Mo are joined by the newly announced Wallaroos coach, Jo Yapp… the former Red Rose captain, who for the last decade has been coaching top level rugby in this country… Most recently, she’s steered Worcester through an incredibly tough year, before finally losing their funding & place in the league last month.

The girls are back in action for season four & Mo’s brought her WXV roomie, Meg Jones, with her!

They get into Meg’s big hopes to medal in Paris next summer with GB7s & make it back into a Red Roses jersey for the home world cup in 2025. They also look ahead to the new PWR season & someone lets the secret about Scazzy’s ear lobes slip… | |||
| S4: The Big WXV Wrap Up | 09 Nov 2023 | 00:42:16 | |
It’s been one hell of a tournament… England beat New Zealand, Sarah Hunter cried, Mo Hunt had a stormer & Marlie Packer was crowned Queen of the Universe (more commonly known as World Rugby Player of the Year). Elma, Scaz & Nick Heath reflect on the inaugural tournament & look ahead to what’s next… until they’re rudely interrupted by a CELEBRATING NATASHA HUNT, a South African guard dog and some bagpipes? | |||
| S4: A Red Rose, A Black Fern & the Chairperson of the Springbok Fan Club walk into a bar… | 02 Nov 2023 | 00:56:34 | |
England take on New Zealand in Aotearoa this weekend, in a replay of last years’ final. So, Elma & Scaz call up a woman who knows a thing or two about this match up… the most capped Black Fern of all time & three time world cup winner, Kendra Cocksedge. The trio look ahead to the clash, discuss the legacy of last year’s tournament and congratulate Scotland & Ireland on their WXV 2 & 3 wins… well, when they manage to steer Elma away from her non-stop Springbok celebrations… | |||
| S4: WXV3: Ireland on fire in Dubai | 25 Oct 2023 | 00:39:10 | |
Ireland’s new co-captains Sam Monaghan & Edel McMahon (AKA Tricky) join Scaz & Elma to talk all things WXV3 and life in Dubai. They’ve been using paddling pools & ice vests to stay cool, but nothing could protect them from Mo’s long range burns about the heat, all the way from New Zealand. Ireland’s rebuild, their decider against Spain, the story of Tricky’s nickname are all on the menu, as well as France’s thrilling one point win AND our big live show news we’ve been teasing you with!

South Africa’s captain Babalwa Latsha, joins Elma & Scaz to debrief on the Springboks & the Women Boks action over the weekend.

The girls get into the captains' photo shoot which had us all laughing & look ahead to this weekend’s WXV fixtures and World Cup semi finals. | |||

Our Mo & her Circus came from behind to win back-to-back PWR titles on Saturday!!

They’re joined by fan favourite, Maud Muir (also known as Taylor Swift) & soon to be GB7s Olympian, Ellie Kildunne. Prepare for chaos, end of term fancy dress, an olympic preview & a look ahead to next season… | |||

WXV is here… Mo’s off New Zealand with the Red Roses, Elma’s in the All Blacks camp en France, and Scaz reveals she’s had a big old operation on her neck which will hopefully get her back on the pitch before too long! If that wasn’t already enough - they look ahead to the exciting new world of WXV, which kicks off this weekend. Expect more MONUMENTAS Mo-isms, more Elma banging on about the postal service and more Scaz being Scaz, this time (apparently) with jazz hands.
Make sure you’re following Good Scaz Rugby on social media to stay up to date with all the WXV news! | |||
| S3 Ep20: Queensholm & The Big Prem Final After Party | 26 Jun 2023 | 01:06:59 | |
The Allianz Premier 15s trophy has a new name on it… the Queens brought it home. Gloucester-Hartpury & our Mo are champions of England. While she was busy crowd surfing in the changing rooms, Elma & Scaz hot footed it across the road to the pub garden of Teague’s Bar for a live show for the ages! Katy Daley-McLean joined them to discuss the game & relive the day. And then… just when all hope was lost, a wild Mo Hunt appeared, still in full kit (including her boots) alongside G-H’s Maud Muir & Sam Monaghan, to celebrate & cause some chaos. The woman behind the Red Roses & Queensholm rebrands, Nicol McClelland also joins for a cider, and somehow Chardonnay does, too. Oh, and a post box. Don’t ask, just listen.

| S3 Ep19: Chardonnay, Katy Daley-McLean & The Prem 15s Final | 19 Jun 2023 | 01:23:41 | |
Our Mo’s made it all the way to the final of the Premier 15s with her Gloucester-Hartpury side, so as a treat, Katy Daley-McLean’s come all the way down from Manchester to join her besties, to review two spectacular semis & look ahead to the big final at Kingsholm. They reminisce about the glory years, talk about Katy’s retirement and her big shiny job at Sale Sharks… And yet the show is stolen by Scaz’s favourite pet when the trio lived together during their days on the 7s circuit; Chardonnay, the fish. | |||
| S3 Ep18: Jodie Ounsley AKA Fury The Gladiator | 07 Jun 2023 | 01:16:14 | |
Jodie Ounsley stopped by for a natter with the girls just before her first day as ‘Fury’ in the BBC’s remake of the classic 90s hit television show, Gladiators! Elma, Scaz & Mo can’t contain their excitement to hear all about the Exeter Chiefs and England 7s winger’s shift from rugby girl to showbiz character; something she’s not found to be the easiest fit. As the first ever profoundly deaf gladiator & England rugby international, there’s very little that’s run of the mill about Jodie’s life. They chat about her impressive campaign to raise awareness about what deaf people are capable of and Elma manages to get to the very end of the episode before exploding into a conversation about Jodie’s parents’ hotel for cats. That’s right, a hotel… for cats. If that wasn’t enough unexpected content, Elma also managed to surprise Scaz & Mo with something very special... | |||
| S3 Ep17: The Pineapple, The Rig, The Legend: Vicky Fleetwood | 01 Jun 2023 | 01:01:44 | |
Scaz & Mo are in charge this week - without Elma. So they’ve invited their old friend, Vicky Fleetwood over to chat about her very recent retirement. Scaz & Fleeto first started playing together aged 15, when Vicky joined Leicester Forest (East). The pair travelled to uni together and then to Lichfield… so there’s glory days both on and off the pitch to relive, on top of stories from World Cups and Commonwealth Games. It’s safe to say the wheels are firmly off from the start with a studio decked out with pineapples, Scaz & Mo at the helm & Fleeto’s incredible career to celebrate! | |||
| S3 Ep16: Behind The Scenes with Scaz at Loughborough’s New Franklin’s Gardens Home | 17 May 2023 | 01:15:20 | |
It’s round two of Scaz Vs Mo this week, as Loughborough Lightning hosted Gloucester-Hartpury at their new home of Franklins Gardens. Join tour guide Scaz for this Loughborough special, starting with a behind the scenes look at the facilities. From the brand new indoor pitch to the pregame changing room setup, it’s clear the blossoming partnership with Northampton Saints is set to be a good’un. A victorious Mo joins the duo post-game, with a Scottish line up of Rachel Malcolm & Helen Nelson for a pitchside natter. We hear about Scaz & Mo’s recent trip to Pembrokeshire, Rachel’s time in the number two jersey, Helen’s other life as an alpine skier, and we finish off with a Ceilidh. What more could you ask for? | |||
| S3 Ep15: Record Breaking Roses & The Path to 2025 with RFU Chief, Sue Day | 03 May 2023 | 01:19:12 | |
Recovered from a Super Saturday for the ages, a croaky Scaz & Elma relive one of the greatest days in the history of the Red Roses. They take you behind the scenes & talk glitter moustaches, crowd surfs and party hats from a day that was bookended by hilarity at The Cabbage Patch. After a day like that & with a home World Cup on the horizon, the question we’re all asking is how do we keep this momentum alive… & lucky for us the RFU’s COO & CFO - & former Red Roses captain - Sue Day, is on hand to discuss the strategy, numbers & business of women’s rugby in England. | |||
| S3 Ep14: Six Nations Super Saturday: Le Crunch Avec Lenaig Corson | 27 Apr 2023 | 01:22:17 | |
The girls are back in the studio this week, joined by French legend, Lenaig Corson to look ahead to the weekend’s Six Nations Grand Slam decider, between the Red Roses & France in front of a record breaking crowd. Scaz & Elma can't contain their excitement at seeing their Mo back in white again... but it's not all plain sailing, they also fall our about Scaz's poor social media game. A pair of jubilant Scots, Rachel Malcolm & Helen Nelson, also join the pod - fresh from their triumph over Italy. It’s all going on, but it’s no surprise with every Six Nations spot hanging in the balance! | |||
| S3 Ep13: The Women In Green: Ireland & South Africa with Lynne Cantwell | 19 Apr 2023 | 01:20:33 | |
With the Red Roses heading to the Emerald Isle this weekend and the storm clouds gathering over Irish rugby, this week Scaz & Elma are joined by a woman who knows a thing or two about dealing with the rain. Ireland’s most capped women’s player, Lynne Cantwell, gives the girls her perspective on the situation from her unique viewpoint, as Women’s High Performance Manager at the South African Rugby Union - where a parallel story has unfolded; the boys in green and the Springboks have both had great success recently and their female counterparts are struggling to progress. We also hear about Lynne & Scaz’s epic battles in the midfield, and get Scaz’s two pence on Simon Middleton’s kicking comments. Oh, and lest we forget the Marlie Packer post match interview you'd never get on the BBC, thanks to our Mo! | |||
| S3 Ep12: Bonnie Scotland’s Sarah Bonar | 12 Apr 2023 | 01:20:01 | |
Scotland, Quins & RAF lock, Sarah Bonar joins Scaz & Elma in the studio this week. She’s been kept out of the Six Nations thus far by a broken collar bone (AKA Colly B, who you’ll get to know throughout the episode) - but she still gives us the inside scoop from Scotland’s clashes with England & Wales. Spartans & Scottish rugby feature heavily, not to mention stories from Bonar’s time as a GB rower, her day job in the RAF, her very important business cards and the school assembly bangers that still get her going. And while, we’ll never know what happened in Glasgow, we do know that if Scaz were an animal, she’s be a duck, so at least there’s that.
Head to our socials for information about ‘Le Crunch Avec Brunch’ at the Cabbage Patch on Super Saturday ahead of England Vs France at Twickenham. Don’t miss it. It’s gunna be a hoot! | |||
| S4: The Big Prem Final Preview | 17 Jun 2024 | 00:23:57 | |
Strap in for a nausey twenty three minutes of Premiership Women's Rugby Final build up… Scaz, Mo & Elma dissect Bristol & Gloucester-Hartpury’s match winning game plans & predict how they’re going to face off this Saturday at Sandy Park in the PWR Final. | |||
| S3 Ep11: The Dragons' Den: Inside Wales Camp | 05 Apr 2023 | 01:19:34 | |
This week Elma’s said ‘toodlepip’ to Scaz & Mo, as she’s crossed the Severn Bridge to the beating heart of Welsh Rugby, somewhere two Red Roses would not be welcomed with open arms - especially not ahead of a Wales England match up in the Six Nations… Head Coach Ioan Cunningham shows Elma around the Elite Training Centre at The Vale Resort, where both Welsh international sides call home. She gets a behind the scenes look at all the state of the art facilities including the cryo chamber, the judo zone, and the team room to see where Wales have built their first couple of victories in the Six Nations. Scrum half, Ffion Lewis, hooker Kelsey Jones & centre Kerin Lake also drop by for a chat in Elma’s makeshift studio on the indoor pitch to spill all the tea about life in camp, the girls’ journey to the big time, and the Welsh passion for singing. | |||
| S3 Ep10: Sarah Hunter: Red Rose #137 Over & Out | 29 Mar 2023 | 01:23:17 | |
She may not have lifted the World Cup last year, but her words after the final (and everything she’s given the game before and since) have lifted a nation, so join Scaz, Mo & Elma to say ‘toodle-pip’ & ‘cheerio’ to the woman of the moment; Sarah Hunter. She made it down from her ‘Leaving Do’ in Newcastle (AKA England Vs Scotland) to have a chin wag with two of her oldest pals. They re-live all the big, bad, and brilliant moments, from the first cap to the last dance of a captain who’s led the Red Roses for so many years. Mo struggles to find the words to describe Sunter, or much else for that matter, for the entire 80 minutes and Hannah Botterman’s attempt to not be the centre of attention is given a whole lot of air time. The girls also celebrate Wales’ record crowd at Cardiff Arms Park and look ahead to another round of fixtures. Quite frankly, you should be ‘itching at the bits’ to get your ears around this one. | |||
| S3 Ep9: The Big Six Nations Preview with Nick Heath | 23 Mar 2023 | 01:19:38 | |
Come on down to the Six Nations preview show… whether you’re a seasoned nause or you’re taking the plunge for the first time, this episode is for you. Elma and Scaz are joined in the studio by commentator Nick Heath - who’s voice you should recognise from our opening credits. They run through the opportunities, the ones to watch and all the scoops from each of the six camps ahead of the first round. The trio give their two pence on the men’s Six Nations, too and look ahead to the World Cup in the autumn. Scaz explains where she’s up to with injury and Mo drops in fresh from her return to England camp to spill the beans on rooming with Marlie Packer.
Elma & Scaz will be here every Thursday for the duration of the tournament - bringing you everything you need to know, and all the guests you need to hear from! | |||
| S3 Ep8: Abbie Ward: ‘Ball in one hand, baby in the other’ | 16 Mar 2023 | 01:13:19 | |
The Cabbage Patch is a home from home for the girls, so this week Scaz & Elma are joined by England and Bristol Bears Lock Abbie Ward in Twickenham's famous rugby pub. They discuss all things pregnancy and motherhood with the Red Rose who will be the first player in the professional age to have a baby and make use of the RFU’s brand new maternity policy. Abbie shares the details of her ambitious plans to be back on the pitch next autumn and the white lies and acting skills she had to employ at Bristol to ensure her teammates didn’t find out she was pregnant too early on. Abbie’s husband, former Quins player, and her coach at Bristol Bears, Dave Ward also pops in for a chin wag, & Scaz & Abbie share some stories from England Camp where they left Mo… who we’re so glad is back in the squad! | |||
| S3 Ep7: Cookin’ up a Women’s Lions Tour with Claire Molloy | 02 Mar 2023 | 01:09:47 | |
It’s on the cards!!!! A two-year feasibility study has confirmed that the first female British and Irish Lions tour is able to go ahead… We don’t know what it looks like yet, but Elma, Scaz, Mo and legendary Irish back row, Claire Molloy take a run up at what they’d like to see. Elma (the smuggler) regales the team with tales of her time embedded with the Springboks during the last Lions tour and Claire gives the girls an insight into her job as an A&E doctor with descriptions of some of the strangest injuries she’s treated in between scoring tries and getting turnovers for Bristol Bears. Mo also talks about the heat Gloucester-Hartpury have had on social media since the announcement of the Prem Final at Kingsholm… And somehow with all this to talk about, a shower puff steals the show… | |||
| S3 Ep6: In The Middle with Hollie Davidson | 16 Feb 2023 | 01:06:22 | |
It’s been a huge year on the park for Scottish referee Hollie Davidson, who’s broken glass ceiling after glass ceiling & refereed some of the biggest games in both 7s and 15s - including last years World Cup Final in Aotearoa. She joins the girls to relive the sinking feeling at seeing THAT tackle on the big screen, and they learn about all about Helga, her favourite fan. Mo’s mind is blown by the art of when NOT to blow your whistle, and Hollie also lets us in on what Scaz & Mo are like to referee - one of them’s compared to Scrappy-Doo, can you guess which? And last but by no means least… if you thought referees were all goody two-shoes, Hollie’s insight into their kangaroo court at the end of the Rugby World Cup might make you think again… | |||
| S3 Ep5: Rachael Burford in the House | 02 Feb 2023 | 01:13:03 | |
Mo, Elma & Scaz are joined by their pal and legendary Red Rose, Rachael Burford, to relive some of the best times they’ve spent together on & off the pitch, & celebrate the game changing work she's doing across the world of rugby. Rachael shares that this season will probably be her last on the pitch & that her recent hamstring injury might have even put paid to that. It’s also the morning after the night before, & Mo’s struggling with a terrible hangover after spending the evening at a dinner to honour Scaz’s incredible career….

| S3 Ep4: A party at Gloucester-Hartpury with Mo & co. | 19 Jan 2023 | 01:14:19 | |
It’s all about Mo this week, for a Loughborough away day at Gloucester-Hartpury. What better excuse for Elma and Scaz to head to the West Country to see Mo in action for the Cherry & Whites. Mo takes Elma for a nose around the gym & matchday changing room. Then postgame, the girls sit down with her boss, Sean Lynn, to get the goss on Mo at work, his brand new electric scooter, nerf gun fights & the winning culture they’ve built at the club. Finally, teammates, Maud Muir & Rachel Lund join the gang to chew the fat about friendship, groundbreaking research, & broken chairs.

| S3 Ep3: Christmas at Quins with Amy Cokayne & Jade Konkel-Roberts | 22 Dec 2022 | 00:55:30 | |
Twickenham Stoop is the setting for this week’s show, as Scaz’s World Cup roomie, Amy Cokayne, joins her and Elma for a chinwag. The Harlequins and England hooker became only the third person ever to score a hattrick in a world cup final, was raised in the Land of the Long White Cloud & could’ve been a Black Fern (thank God she moved back home). We hear all about her time in NZ, what Scaz is like to room with and her work as a Flight Lieutenant in the Royal Air Force. The trio are also joined by Scotland and Harlequins number eight and fire fighter, Jade Konkel-Roberts, who’s had a very different World Cup - one that involved visiting every single fire station she could. They also discuss the annual Cokayne Christmas family bench press competition (at length) & Amy just won’t stop talking about pigs in blankets. | |||
| S3 Ep2: Sophie de Goede: Born for this | 15 Dec 2022 | 01:11:53 | |
Sophie de Goede joins Elma, Scaz and Mo to tell her world cup story; a journey of two languages, camaraderie and sacrifice like no other. She’s Canada’s goal kicker, number eight AND captain - a role that you could say she’s been bred for, as both her mum and dad have captained Canada at world cups. De Goede tells the girls all about the experience of leading her team to the semi-final against England - the only amateur team to get that far. And top things off, Scaz, Mo and Elma disagree on Christmas tree size; a debate for the ages. | |||
| S4 Ep19: The Woman With All The PWR: Belinda Moore | 12 Jun 2024 | 01:19:28 | |
Our Mo & her Gloucester-Hartpury girls are off to Sandy Park this weekend to take on Bristol Bears in the PWR Final!
So, the woman in charge of the league, Belinda Moore, CEO of the PWR, joins Elma, Scaz & Mo to discuss how the season’s gone & what the future looks like. EQP, funding, sponsorship, TV rights & what headhunters look like are all on the menu… and the final, of course.

| S3 Ep1: New Faces, Big Debriefs: The World Cup Catch Up | 08 Dec 2022 | 01:05:43 | |
Mo Hunt’s officially part of the crew!! She joins Elma and Scaz as a full time host for the start of Season Three from a kitchen somewhere in the Leicestershire countryside. Mo & Scaz haven’t seen each other since before the World Cup & a lot’s happened for both of them since then, so the girls have got some catching up to do. Scaz give us a full tournament debrief; the thrill of a final at a hostile Eden Park, the white wall that faced the Black Ferns Haka, that rainy Australia game and the families versus players cricket match which sounds like one for the ages. It’s a wild ride - finished off with the story and the heartache behind Mo’s shock omission from the England squad pre-tournament & Elma’s baking, which leaves a lot to be desired.

| S2 Ep24: End of Season Do | 08 Jul 2022 | 00:29:10 | |
Scaz, Elma and Tinds take a look back on the season that was and dish out awards for the best of the pod and the best on the pitch… as well as a few choice awards for each other. We also can’t wait to see the high energy Scaz TikTok from the Red Roses camp… or not, as the case may be. | |||
| S2 Ep23: The State of the Stash & The State of the Game | 30 Jun 2022 | 01:13:27 | |
Three incredible Prem 15s athletes and entrepreneurs join Elma in the studio this week to chat about the way the women’s game is viewed, how important the right kit is and the progressive work they’re all doing off the field. Worcester Warriors’ Stef Evans, founder of women’s kit and apparel company Ruggette RFC, Harlequins’ Emma Swords, founder of headwear company BONCEE & Wasps’ Flo WIlliams, founder of sports marketing company, The Perception Agency & now working for MATTA, take the perception of the game to task. They debate kit provision, male allyship (and the James Haskell storm), gratefulness and coverage of the women’s game; and all make a case for the marketability of the sport and the individuals in it. | |||
| S2 Ep22: The Journey, The Injuries and The Menstrual Cycle with Fee Pocock | 16 Jun 2022 | 01:05:30 | |
Fee Pocock drops in for a chat with Elma, Scaz and Mo this week. A broken knee, PTSD and an ACL injury plagued Fee’s remarkable England career, so now, motivated by the change she needed in the women’s game, she makes space for female athletes to learn about strength and conditioning and mental health through her coaching business. The girls pick Fee’s brains on training and the menstrual cycle and share their own period struggles. | |||
