WRP 174 - Sharks' Tails!  Red Roses star Sarah Bern and Johnnie Hammond are joined by two guests this week, Sale Sharks coach Rachel Taylor and Helen "Flip" Street - wife of Gary and Rori has all the news. The latest round of games from the PWR (Premiership Women's Rugby) are reviewed including Saracens win at The Duel and the last minute winner in the west country derby between Bristol and Gloucester-Hartpury. The former Wales captain and Sale Sharks Performance coach, joins us this week after another defeat at the weekend in the PWR, this time to Exeter, their seventh in a row. "Tails" chats about where the group are, as a group, how they are coping with the rut they find themselves in, the motivations looking further ahead, the club's commitment to women's rugby and the plans that are already coming to fruition. The former flanker's passion shines through and she is incredibly upbeat despite the injuries and sporadic nature of their performances and she also speaks about what motivates her. Our guest newscaster, ten year-old, Rori Taylorson, from Weybridge Vandals Valkeries, has all the latest from around the world, with fixtures in the Celtic Challenge, who won the "Latin Cup" and who picked up awards in Australia. Also on the pod this week, Helen "Flip" Street, the wife of World Cup winning coach, Gary. As we have mentioned many times "Streety" is on a long road of recovery after a stroke mid-heart surgery, so we thought we'd get "Flip" on the pod. We hear an update on Streety's health, what the next steps are and how in a practical sense the family are coping. Plus we hear about the positive impact the fundraising ("Street's Ahead" on go fund me) has made on the family and how that support will assist going forward and what are the further plans ahead............big and impressive........Sue Dorrington is involved!!
