The Morning After the Black Ferns with Red Roses Captain Meg Jones

Never in the history of rugby matches - have we seen a game end with a penalty kicked short, and the kicker making an interception to score in the corner and then kick her own conversion.

So, the morning after the night before, the Elma, Scaz, Mo and Meggy meet in The Cabbage Patch, where Mo had been crowd surfing only hours before, to dissect their match against their greatest rivals, the Black Ferns and pay their dues to Zoe Harrison’s self-professed ‘shit or bust’ moment of history.

Meg tells us how she came up with the V formation to challenge the Haka & which Kiwi gave her the timing for the half way line approach. We also hear what Maddie Feunati, the women who wears a Rose but could have worn a Fern, told the girls ahead of facing the Haka at Allianz Stadium.

Mo also explains how tough it is to make the right calls off the bench in a game that tight & asks how many holes there are in penne pasta - answers in the comments, please!

& finally, our OG title partners in the first two seasons of this podcast, have opened a new round of the Allianz All Together Sports Fund: £100,000 is now available in grants of £1,000-£5,000, paid straight to grassroots clubs for pitch hire, bills, kit, travel and subs, or whatever else you need! Any RFU, WRU, Scottish Rugby or IRFU club in Northern Ireland can apply and the deadline is 21 November 2026.

Here’s the link to apply: allianz.co.uk/about-allianz/partnerships/sports-fund.html

If your club gets a grant, don’t be surprised if we turn up with a camera! 😎

Happy listening & watching GSR fam!
