B-Side Bois
9/10/25 B-Side Bois w/ Sam Hendricks of Wombats & Sadie Denner of Iowa State Women
Episode Notes
Episode 156 brings a new twist with guest host Sam Hendricks of the West Des Moines Wombats, stepping in for his audition phase. You might know him as the Wombats’ #8 or recognize his voice from the spring live stream of the Iowa High School Selects against the NW Missouri Bulls.
We kick things off recapping the end of summer before catching up with Sadie Denner of Iowa State University Women’s Rugby as she gears up for her freshman season. From there, we dive into the USA Women’s World Cup pool play and their promising future, followed by a look at the USA Men’s much-needed win over Samoa and the challenges ahead.
The episode also covers top college matches from around the Midwest, Week 1 Iowa Youth Rugby Girls action, Midwest Senior rugby results, and the latest from Major League Rugby. It’s two hours of rugby coverage spanning local to international, filled with laughs, insights, and some serious conversations.
