New Episode - Listen now to Premiership Women’s Rugby's new podcast: The Power Pod

PREMIERSHIP WOMEN'S RUGBY (PWR) is thrilled to announce the launch of an exciting new podcast, The Power Pod, premiering with its first episode on Thursday 3 October.

Hosted by former Welsh international 15s and 7s player and now sports broadcaster Philippa Tuttiett and renowned rugby commentator Nick Heath, The Power Pod promises to be the ultimate destination for in-depth analysis, match previews, and all things PWR.

Airing every week throughout the season, The Power Pod will preview each round of the PWR, offering fans expert insights into the biggest matches and standout performances. Whether you’re a seasoned supporter or new to the league, Philippa and Nick will keep you up to speed with the latest news, tactical breakdowns, and player stories and updates from around the competition.

But that’s not all—The Power Pod is designed to be interactive! The Power Line is where listeners are invited to send in WhatsApp voice notes. Fans can share their reactions, review matches as they’re leaving the grounds, or even suggest the best local coffee spots for away-day supporters! Your voice could feature on the show, creating a unique way to connect the community of rugby lovers across the league.

We explore what happened with Liv McGoverne’s charged down conversion as Philippa consults the law book, before surveying the selections in the PWR Team of the Week. We have a good look at the Round 2 fixtures and PT picks her weekly Power Play. Our thanks to Oval Insights for the stats.
