She gives us a brilliant insight into how to become a ref, and how it helped her get back to the game from a serious injury.Mollie brings a new quiz into the mix and Jodie cheats and the usual nonsense ensues.ChezSez has been on holiday, and generally very busy but don’t worry, we’ll do a special 1 off episode with her next week!Oh and we announce the date and the venue for the GrassRoots Festival in August!To support the pod, please ‘buy us a coffee’ – for just £4 you can help us develop content, pay for the various subscriptions we need to keep it going, and generally make us happy: www.ko-fi.com/grassrootsrugbypodTo play for the GrassRoots Nomads in August, email us at: grassrootswomen@hotmail.comTo follow GrassRoots:Twitter: @gr_rugbyInsta: Grassrootsrugbypod

Tune in to GrassRoots-Women's Rugby from the Roots Up, where hosts Matt, Lou, Jodie, Dubs, Lucy, and Mollie gather to talk about the real heart of the sport. This isn't a show about professional contracts or international headlines; it's a bi-monthly conversation dedicated entirely to the vibrant, chaotic, and joyful world of women's rugby at the club level. Each episode feels like pulling up a chair in the clubhouse after a match, diving into the stories of the teams and the unforgettable characters that make the community so special. You'll hear about the essence and culture that binds players together, from the muddy pitches to the socials, and get a genuine spotlight on squads competing in various leagues across the country. Adding a unique perspective, the legendary Cherie (ChezSez) regularly shares intimate insights from her own life in rugby, offering a personal lens on the game's triumphs and challenges. This podcast is built for anyone who loves the unvarnished, authentic side of sports-the camaraderie, the grassroots intrigue, and the pure passion that fuels every scrum and lineout. It’s a celebration of the foundation upon which the entire women’s game is built, told by the people who live it every week.
