About this episode
The ninth edition of the Women’s Rugby World Cup is kicking off. The excitement is tangible for the growing legion of fans who enjoy following their sporting idols.
However, the promotion around this world-class sporting event pales in comparison to when the Men’s Rugby World Cup was previously held in New Zealand.
So are we doing enough to back the Black Ferns? Who are the main teams to watch this year? And can the Black Ferns take the trophy for a record sixth time?
Today, Damien is joined by NZ Herald columnist, huge rugby fan, and passionate player of the game, Alice Soper.
