  • Episode 17: Alice Lockwood & Daisie Mayes
    Mar 6 2026

    She's the Champ is back from the bye week, and to make up for it, we're bringing you two guests in one episode for the first time. Alice Lockwood and Daisie Mayes aren't just teammates on the pitch for North Bristol, they're also partners off it. Ahead of North Bristol's derby day visit to Bath, at the Rec, they talk about forging player pathways in the west and southwest of England, horror injuries at Twickenham, and how North Bristol have cemented themselves in the Champ. Oh, and their house rabbit gets in on the action too...


    Plus the results from Round 17 two weeks ago, the rearranged fixtures played in the bye week, what it all means for the tables and a look ahead to Round 18, the penultimate week of the league season.

    Feb 14 2026

    Alne Kloppers joins She's the Champ this week, and becomes our first Kiwi guest in the process. The Richmond back row talks about why she came to England at three weeks notice to play at the RAG, what kept her out of rugby for nearly three seasons and why she could've ended up in Spain. She also talks about the differences between rugby in England and New Zealand, how she got her nickname 'Little Red' and what her friend Renee Holmes is really like.


    Plus a recap of the tables after the bye week and a look ahead to the fixtures for Round 15.

  • Episode 15: Kat Robinson
    Feb 6 2026

    This week, She's the Champ has not one, but two guests! Sort of... Henley Hawks utility forward Kat Robinson joins the podcast, along with baby Hugo. Not only does Kat talk about her recent return since giving birth, and why Henley's difficult season may be on the up, but she talks about her storied career via a title-winning Saracens side and making history with the RAF. And she talks about playing as a single mother, and how her rugby family at Henley help her do it.


    Plus a round of upsets from the Round 14 results, and how the tables look going into a bye-week this weekend.

  • Episode 14: Tanya Bird
    Jan 30 2026

    She's the Champ is venturing back north, this time to the Midlands, to meet Lichfield's Tanya Bird. One of the old souls of the Champ, she gives us her (hilarious) takes on the modern game, makes the case for teams for short people, and shares her stories about playing internationally for the Philippines and how long she played through her torn ACL. And, without hesitation, she tells us which Pokemon she'd be.


    Plus the results from Round 13, where that leaves the tables and a look ahead to some big games in Round 14.

  • Episode 13: Lou Burgess
    Jan 23 2026

    She's the Champ is back after last week's hiatus, and is trying to keep up with the lightning pace of Lou Burgess. The Trojans full back and former pro talks to about how her side are adapting to life back in Champ 1, and remembers keeping up her pro career despite long drives and breaking her leg. In this episode, Dr Burgess explains how her PhD and research at Bournemouth University links to rugby and what it's like coaching the student team. And she shamelessly tries to recruit Bluebell for Trojans...


    Plus a round up of the first results of the year from Round 12, a run through the tables as they stand and a look ahead to this weekend's Round 13 fixtures.
