Before the biggest tournament of her career, Kelsey Clifford had to deal with the passing of her grandad and the pain of his absence ahead of the 2025 Women’s Rugby World Cup win. The Saracens prop opens up on the grief she had to deal with pre and post-tournament and some of the things she had to process to help her become a world champion.
Clifford also tells England Rugby Podcast: O2 Inside Line the weight-loss targets she was set to become a Red Rose, and why she quit crisps to help, where her in-camp nickname of ‘Wesley’ comes from as well as her match day superstitions she must do to feel prepared for a game, including one she is trying to lose.
In this podcast you will also hear from Kelsey’s dad Michael Clifford, her partner and Saracens teammate Beth Blacklock, and Red Roses players Mo Hunt and Alex Matthews.
This podcast was recorded in January 2026.
