The Circus Comes to Town - Gloucester-Hartpury (H) Preview

With no game to review, all eyes are on Saturday as Leicester Tigers Women host the defending champions and league leaders Gloucester-Hartpury. Before that, Jess and Jacob delve into the circumstances surrounding Forward Coach Luke Stratford’s 7 week matchday suspension and the impact that will have on the team in this period, before a look at the furore surrounding the gendered language of World Rugby’s tweet in the documentary on officiating in the last World Cup. Then, courtesy of Jess’ LinkedIn totally-not-stalking and Jacob’s goldmine-discovery of an archived post on the University of Ottawa’s website, we have a mega player profile on recent signing Claire Gallagher where we get equally giddy about her potential, equally befuddled about Canadian collegiate awards as well as do an insight into the state of women’s rugby in Canada. Rounding off Episode 10, we explore the possibilities awaiting Tigers facing the daunting challenge of Gloucester-Hartpury, and where the gyals can look to improve on their showing from the heavy defeat away fixture in the end of November and continue to build from their first victory in the PWR against Sale.
