Where Claire and Lis talk about the Mobbs Memorial match which proved to be an entertaining affair at the Gardens. We talk about the Saints players who stood out - and Claire declares she was right about her prediction. Lis heaps praise on the IT Department who have gone out and spent money on a book about sound - Claire is expecting Abbey Road studios in the future. Claire talks photography and her ability to be at the wrong end to the play.

This week is a Saints Show Ladies Wot Pod mashup as Graham, Lennie, Claire and Lis preview this season. We pick the players, games and places we’re looking forward to going to. It was great fun recording this pod at BBC Radio Northampton’s studios. Lennie and Graham were on top form and we had a great discussion about the coming months.

We also, talk about all the usual stuff and we had a very special interview with Harry about his latest try for Towcester. Claire becomes quite emotional about a very special gift from the Wheelchair Rugby team. We talk about walking rugby, Halos, as well as Bedford, Loughborough and a preview of this week.

We send our very best wishes to Emma Wassell - here’s hoping you’re back at the Gardens very soon.

Where Claire and Lis talk to Liz Tyler and Lizzie Goodchild. These two women play a key role in making sure things run smoothly for the players and coaches. Liz is the Team Media manager who works closely with the press whilst Lizzie is the Team manager managing the logistics of the players and on match day gets the joy of sitting in the weather, working with the officials and opposition team.

It’s a fascinating insight into a world that most supporters never see. We learn about medals and who gets them (including which player is keen for his to arrive), we hear trauma for both Liz and Jack Miller during that Final, Lis and I learn what those Investec Zebras are actually called. And we learn of a Towcester connection between Lizzie and Harry!

And Lis tells us how her walking rugby coaching is going - is she more Northern?!

Where Claire and Lis talk to Matt Ferguson in the Scrum Lounge. Matt is one of our most loyal listeners and we were delighted when he agreed to have a chat. We learn all about Matt’s career, bonkers hookers, our exciting crop of young front rowers, and the extraordinary detail that goes into the planning and coaching of each game. We learn about the coaching culture at the Saints which challenges Matt as much as the players. This episode features a lot of cake, hats and Matt offers advice to us and the pod for the coming season. The IT Dept is in for a shock!

And we name our Ladies Wot Pod Player of the Match from the Bedford Blues vs Blackheath game - and it's a Blues player!

Meanwhile, the season has started for Towcester Under 10s, about to start for the Under 7s and Lis is still fretting about the shape of her walking rugby D. Matt comes up with an idea for that too!

Where Claire and Lis talk about preseason and how all the lads are settling in, Lis has a near miss in Sainsbury’s with Ruben Logan, we fret about whether we have got to grips with the shape of our D (and realise we haven’t) and we talk all things Blakiston. We talk about the newly announced Premiership Rugby Cup fixtures and that Valentine’s trip to Lady Bay. Plus news of the Wheelchair Rugby team, walking rugby and Towcester Under 10s.

Where Claire and Lis talk to several of the players from Loughborough Lightning at the recent Media Day. We learn about the careers so far of all six players including the revelation that Daisy Hibbert-Jones is younger than Lennie Newman!! Who knew?! All six players seem to have had different routes to where they are now.

And we have a chat about Saints pre-season so far where we say hello to some new players and reveal that one of our Australians seems to be turning into a Brit!

Where Claire and Lis talk about last season with some very special guests and we give out our Ladies Wot Pod Awards. We’re joined by two ladies who claim to be our biggest fans - one of them is a player’s Mum so we learn about the highs and the odd low involved. A health warning to PRL - Lis is on the war path about the fixture list!

The Ladies Wot Pod are back in harness and loving taking all things Saintly!

Where Claire and Lis talk about what’s happened since that glorious weekend when Saints won the Premiership. We talk about the changes happening at Saints, the performance of our internationals both on the field and behind the lens and Lis disappears!
