    2025/04/15
    This week on MudderRucker, we’re joined by Irish rugby legends Chloe Pearse and Ilse van Staden to unpack a huge weekend of Women’s Six Nations action. From Ireland’s gutsy, galvanising 50-minute stand against England, to France’s chaos-ball against Wales and Italy’s bounce-back win over Scotland, there’s loads to dive into. We talk player development, set-piece struggles, the growing IQ and grit of this Irish team, and how a relentless defensive mindset is putting belief back at the heart of the squad. Plus, we get into the future of the AIL, club rivalries, fullback nightmares, and what Melissa McCarthy has to do with Chloe’s rugby journey. It’s honest, passionate, and—at times—hilarious.

    2025/04/23
    This week on MudderRucker, we welcome tighthead legend Katie O'Dwyer alongside the ever-brilliant Chloe Pearse to break down Round 4 of the Women’s Six Nations. Italy pushed France all the way, England cruised past Scotland, and Ireland turned in a dominant performance against Wales—but was it dominant enough? We unpack Ireland's clinical-but-could’ve-been-clinicaler win in Newport, assess the depth being built ahead of the World Cup, and discuss standout showings from the likes of Linda Djougang, Molly Scuffil-McCabe, and the unstoppable Aoife Dalton. We also talk set piece trends, scrum-half battles, and the big loss of Erin King to injury. Plus: tighthead woes, fairylike geniuses, rogue referees, and the eternal struggle with chafing. It’s honest, sharp, and seriously good craic. Catch Ailbhe and Cian with the Irish rugby insights you won’t hear anywhere else.

    Episode 7: Smells Like Team Spirit
    2025/05/01
    This week on MudderRucker, it’s the end of the Six Nations—and the end of our first series! Chloe Pearse and Katie O’Dwyer are back to help us unpack Ireland’s bruising, frustrating, and oddly hopeful finale against Scotland at The Hive. We talk injuries, inexperience, and intercepts, plus how the squad responded when under pressure when leaders were lost from the field. We also look at the big Six Nations takeaways, from breakdown dominance and lineout leaps to why Ireland’s attack is sharper—but still has room to grow. There’s plenty of praise for Brittany Hogan, calls for Neve Jones in the back row, and some spicy chat about the refereeing across the tournament. Plus, we look ahead to the Rugby World Cup: who's in, who’s out, and what Ireland need to do to go deep in September. Throw in some goal-kicking gripes, a few jokes at each other’s expense, and a genuinely horrible team fragrance, and you’ve got a proper send-off to Series 1. Follow Ailbhe at @irishwomens.bsky.social and Cian at @rugbykino.bsky.social. Like, share, subscribe—and get yourself ready for World Cup warm-ups. We’ll see you soon.
