## Resource

In this week’s episode of The Rugby Paper Roundup… Assistant Editor Ben Jaycock is joined by rugby content creator and social media personality Ruck Star Lizzie to react to a dramatic final round of the Women’s Six Nations — and look ahead to what feels like a huge new era for the women’s game. England edged another epic battle with France in Bordeaux to secure an eighth straight Six Nations title and Grand Slam, while Ireland smashed attendance records at the Aviva Stadium in front of more than 31,000 fans against Scotland. We break down why England v France continues to produce the biggest matches in women’s rugby, whether the Red Roses are building one of sport’s greatest dynasties, and just how special Ellie Kildunne’s tournament really was after a campaign packed with outrageous attacking numbers. We also discuss: • Marlie Packer finishing as top try scorer from the back row• Zoe Harrison leading the tournament points charts• Why Ireland’s Aviva Stadium crowd felt like a landmark moment 🦁 Women’s Lions Tour 2027 Attention also turns to the historic announcement of the first-ever Women’s Lions tour in 2027 to New Zealand. Lizzie shares her excitement around the tour, the players who have stood out outside of England this championship, and who would already be first on her Lions team sheet. 🎥 Creator life & rugby media Lizzie also reflects on building one of rugby’s biggest creator platforms, her favourite moments covering the sport, and what rugby still doesn’t quite get right digitally. 🎧 Subscribe for more weekly rugby insight, analysis and debate from The Rugby Paper Roundup.
