Freelance Sports Journalist and Tigers supporter Vitty de Lazzer hops on to the Fancast to talk about the Black Ferns/Springbok Women game/preview WXV, of course a mention about 4.5 balls and we react to the news that Brewdog is becoming a sponsor of Leicester. Then, Jacob showcases his talent at sharing a zoom screen (or significant lack thereof) as we do on an overview of the Tigers squad and try and predict where this team could go this season in the PWR and Next Gen Cup.

Leicester Tigers Women were back in action as they were hosted by old enemies Cheltenham Tigers on the 27th August. Was it a joint training session, was it a proper fixture, was it an U23s development game? As discussed by Jacob and returning guest Bluebell (from She's the Champ pod) the answer was a combination of all three. Before we discuss that game, we react to Tigers signing Welsh winger Lisa Neumann, Tigers involvement in WXV squads and the shock news that Swys de Bruin has left his role as head coach of Springboks Women! Enjoy!

Head of University of Nottingham WRFC and Lichfield Ladies Head Coach Tim Westwood once again joins Jacob for an exclusive chat to preview the impending season. Westwood reflects on last season, how Nottingham can do one better this season and achieve promotion to BUCS Super Rugby Women's (BSRW), his excitement at the continuing partnership with Leicester and his ambitions for Lichfield.

Huw Griffin joins Jacob to discuss Tigers kit (isn't everyone) and all the reasons behind this off-season being CRAZY in terms of PWR transfers. From Ruby Tui joining Trailfinders, Marlie Packer swapping Sarries for Quins, and World-class Wallaroos heading to Leicester, the PWR next season looks to be better than ever.

In this bonus podcast, Jacob provides an audio-visual version of his substack article looking at what's behind all these Australians rocking up to Mattioli Woods Welford Road next season.

Over a month ago, Rugby Australia officially announced a partnership with various PWR clubs, although Leicester Tigers seem to be the club that have considerably benefitted so far. So, how is this partnership going to benefit Tigers next season, will it turn the club’s fortunes around, and what do Rugby Australia get out of this arrangement? Enjoy this bonus episode and let us know your thoughts in the comments.

Hannah returns to talk to Jacob about the insane transfers happening in the PWR at the moment, as well as a bit of Lions chat. We speculate whether a certain Gabrielle Vernier or Ellie Kildunne could be wearing the red, green and white next season. After that we break down the East Mids Derby, in which Tigers Women saved their best performance till last, but it was not enough to achieve that elusive win. Enjoy this last episode of Season 3 of the Fancast!

As the dust settles from that near miss against Loughborough in the final game of the season, Jacob gives an emotional initial reaction to the season as a whole, whilst you can also hear exclusive pitch side reactions from coaches Fraser Goatcher and Ross Bundy, and players Emerson Allen and Jordan Russell. Enjoy!
