    In the only podcast solely dedicated to the grassroots women's game, Jodie, Matt, Lou, Mollie, Goose and Joyce take a bi-monthly stroll through the chaos, joy and intrigue of club-level rugby. We celebrate the characters in the game, the essence and culture of rugby and shine a spotlight on the teams playing in various leagues around the country. Our very own legend Cherie (ChezSez) gives listeners a unique insight into her life in the sport and the mayhem of 70% off hour at Aldi. We will bring interviews from other clubs, ideas and general rugby love from the Grass Roots game. No prem, no International, just rugby as we all know and love. In the mud, in the bar, with your mates. Expect chat, regular sections, special guests and characters from the game, laughs and analysis. We will also tackle some of the more difficult subjects. Overall this is an extension of the rugby clubhouse where we share stories, ideas and facts from the fastest growing sport in the UK. Definitely not one for the car on the school run........
