Women’s Rugby World Cup: The big weekend review

from Rugby Union Weekly · host BBC Radio 5 Live

Do Scotland already have one foot in the World Cup quarter-finals? Fran McGhie’s hat-trick inspired the Scots to a record win over Wales in their World Cup opener, despite all the uncertainty around player contracts. Where did it all go wrong for Wales and why are they still not clicking under head coach Sean Lynn? Ugo, Sara, and Katy Daley-McLean discuss all this and more as they dissect the opening weekend for the home nations. Did the Red Roses justify their favourites tag after scoring 11 tries against the United States? Ireland also opened with an impressive bonus-point win with one player in particular catching the eye.
