Red Roses’ England stars Emily Scarratt and Natasha Hunt, alongside their co-host Elma Smit, are bringing their award-winning rugby podcast The Good, The Scaz & The Rugby back bigger and better than ever.
Fresh off the Lionesses’ historic Euros victory and with eyes firmly fixed on the Red Roses’ home Rugby World Cup, the trio are not just returning for a sixth series – they’re expanding their presence in the world of sports media.
This includes a newly-launched YouTube channel, double the amount of weekly shows during the tournament, exclusive merchandise and even live events, promising fans more in-depth access and engagement than ever before.
An incredible summer of women’s sport coincides with the first episode of the new series featuring the powerhouse trio starting this Thursday, July 31.
Emily Scarratt, Natasha Hunt, and Elma Smit bring their award-winning podcast, The Good, The Scaz & The Rugby, back for a bigger and bolder sixth series.
The show is hosted by best friends and World Cup-winning stars Emily (Scaz) and Natasha (Mo), alongside their good friend, the South African broadcaster Elma.
The premiere episode of the new series sees the trio reunited after their summer break ahead of the Rugby World Cup.
Folding Pocket, a Platform Media label, will release a new show every Thursday for the next ten weeks, culminating in a post-World Cup final review show at the end of September.
Emily, who has just been selected for her fifth Rugby World Cup, the first English person to achieve this, said: “After eight weeks of pre-season with England, getting to sit down and debrief on all the action with Mo and Elma is the dream.
“Over five series we’ve interviewed some of the biggest names in the game and won Best Rugby Podcast at the sports podcast awards … and this next series will be even bigger.
“We’re launching our own YouTube Channel, merchandise line and will be covering the biggest event in world rugby on home soil on our show and maybe in a few live shows, too.”
The podcast’s versatility is unmatched. Guests have ranged from Springbok captain Siya Kolisi to Olympian Laura Kenny, showcasing an incredibly diverse line-up.
Scaz and Mo have been named in the Red Roses squad for this summer’s Rugby World Cup in England.
As the world’s top-ranked team, the Red Roses are strong favourites to win the tournament on home soil, which kicks off on August 22 and concludes in late September. The event is a landmark moment for women’s rugby and sport in the UK, having already sold a record-breaking 300,000 tickets.
Following their recent Women’s Six Nations Grand Slam, Scaz and Mo will provide an exclusive look ahead to the World Cup, with the players focused on leading England to the final.
Mo also comes off the back of three consecutive Premiership Women’s Rugby league titles in a row, having missed out on selection for the last Rugby World Cup.
They discuss the emotion of being selected for another global showpiece tournament, the goosebumps they get hearing the national anthem and look ahead to the pool stages.
The Good, The Scaz & The Rugby is ahead of the curve in women’s sport podcasting, having launched back in 2020 and now heading into their sixth season at a time when sports podcasts are more popular than ever for their ability to turn lay fans into engaged fans, to build communities around events and live shows and make a societal impact.
In addition to regular Thursday releases, the podcast will feature a Monday morning reaction show after each World Cup round, hosted by Elma and trusted rugby commentator & presenter, Nick Heath.
Emily Scarratt, Natasha Hunt, and Elma Smit bring The Good, The Scaz & The Rugby podcast back for a bigger and bolder sixth series.
Elma will also be heading into Red Roses’ camp to interview some of the Red Roses throughout the tournament. These interviews will be available on GSR’s social channels and YouTube.
