The whistle’s about to blow. Six weeks. Sixteen nations. Packed stadiums, global attention and history on the line. The 10th Women’s Rugby World Cup in England is here — and it promises to change the game forever.

In this brand-new special series, David Pembroke is joined by Wallaroos fly-half Bella McKenzie to break down all the action. From Bella’s personal story of heartbreak and resilience to the blueprint shaping the future of rugby, this episode dives into the biggest talking points:

Who to watch: Portia Woodman-Wickliffe, Georgia Miller, Maddie Feaunati, Maya Stewart, Sylvia Brunt, Ellie Kildunne and more.
Pool-by-pool previews and the Wallaroos’ shot at making it out of a brutal draw.
Round 1 matches under the spotlight: England v USA, Australia v Samoa, Canada v Fiji, France v Italy.
Why women’s rugby is no longer “emerging” — it’s driving the prosperity of the whole game.

This isn’t just about women’s rugby. It’s about the future of rugby union worldwide. And it’s here now.
