Episode 24: Capping It Off Right
<p>That's a wrap on the 2026 Women's Six Nations — and what a way to finish it.</p><p>31,294 people at the Aviva for a first ever standalone fixture. A heritage caps ceremony honouring 30 years of Irish women's rugby. And Ireland putting in arguably their most complete performance of the tournament to send Scotland home empty-handed.</p><p>Chloe Pearse is back — cap 206, AIL Player of the Year, and now apparently the person most responsible for Beatrice Rigoni going missing from the Italian squad. We're saying nothing.</p><p>We do a full tournament report card — England's cracks, France's rebuild, Italy's rise, and the uncomfortable question of whether Wales and Scotland are being left behind. Cian has the numbers. Chloe has opinions. Ailbhe has ponchos, apparently, and a new nickname she didn't ask for.</p><p>Roll on the interpros. Roll on WXV. Roll on Australia.</p><p>👕 The mBan Squad kit is on sale — all proceeds to HerSport → <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="http://mudder-rucker-store.myspreadshop.net">mudder-rucker-store.myspreadshop.net</a></p><p>📸 Instagram → @mudderruckerpodcast </p><p>🟦 Bluesky → @<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="http://mudderrucker.bsky.social">mudderrucker.bsky.social</a> </p><p>🎙️ Ailbhe → @<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="http://irishwomens.bsky.social">irishwomens.bsky.social</a> </p><p>📚 Cian → @<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="http://rugbykino.bsky.social">rugbykino.bsky.social</a> </p><p>▶️ YouTube → youtube.com/@MudderRucker</p><p></p><p>00:00 Welcome back — and Chloe's post-AIL confession</p><p>00:52 Heritage caps unveiled at the Aviva</p><p>03:52 Legends in the room — the women who built Irish rugby</p><p>05:33 31,294 people and the vibes were immaculate</p><p>08:47 Can Ireland keep this momentum going?</p><p>11:30 Ireland v Scotland — the most complete performance of the tournament</p><p>14:59 Rivalry history and why the SRU should know better</p><p>18:11 Six Nations trends — who's growing, who's not</p><p>22:12 England's attack is genuinely terrifying</p><p>23:20 England's defensive cracks — and why they probably don't care</p><p>24:28 France found their flow — and it's only going to get scarier</p><p>26:10 France's set piece wobbles — the thing to fix before Australia</p><p>27:56 Italy: attack up, defence down, Rigatoni still sulking somewhere</p><p>30:28 When the stats don't tell the full story</p><p>32:59 Ireland's growth is real — but is it fast enough?</p><p>36:18 Erin King: 80 tackles, 243 ruck entries, perfect intent</p><p>38:47 Interpros, WXV, and the road to Australia</p><p>41:38 Favourite moments of the Six Nations — and that's a wrap</p>

Episode 23: What's Up With Wales? Huw Knows...
<p>Round 4 is done — and this week Ailbhe and Cian are joined by not one but two guests. Chloe Pearse is back as ever, and making his MudderRucker debut is Huw Griffin of HG Rugby — Welsh rugby analyst, stats obsessive, and self-declared England hater. He fits right in.</p><p>Huw takes us inside the chaos engulfing Welsh rugby and what it actually means for the women's game, while we try to work out if Sean Lynn's rebuild is finally starting to take shape. England are still winning but something is shifting — Italy put three tries past them before half time, and suddenly the grand slam decider against France in Bordeaux feels a lot more interesting.</p><p>Ireland beat Wales in Belfast in front of a sell-out crowd, and the back row did what the back row does. Hogan, Wafer, King — we're running out of superlatives. And Cliodhna Maloney McDonald is firmly team niggle, for better or worse.</p><p>Next up: 27,000 tickets sold for the Aviva. Scotland in round 5. No pressure.</p><p>Also — the mBan Squad t-shirts are selling. Cian explains how it all started.</p><p>👕 The mBan Squad kit is on sale — all proceeds to HerSport → <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="http://mudder-rucker-store.myspreadshop.net">mudder-rucker-store.myspreadshop.net</a></p><p>📸 Instagram → @mudderruckerpodcast</p><p>🟦 Bluesky → @<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="http://mudderrucker.bsky.social">mudderrucker.bsky.social</a></p><p>🎙️ Ailbhe → @<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="http://irishwomens.bsky.social">irishwomens.bsky.social</a></p><p>📚 Cian → @<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="http://rugbykino.bsky.social">rugbykino.bsky.social</a></p><p>▶️ YouTube → <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="http://youtube.com/@MudderRucker">youtube.com/@MudderRucker</a></p><p></p><p>00:00 Podcast Introductions</p><p>01:14 Welsh Rugby Resurgence</p><p>03:48 Sean Lynn Vision</p><p>06:41 England Leakier Defence</p><p>10:47 Injuries And Leadership</p><p>14:21 Why England Concede</p><p>17:48 Italy Third Place Race</p><p>19:28 France Clicking Early</p><p>23:24 Scotland Defensive Crisis</p><p>25:27 Tackling And Athletic Gap</p><p>26:10 Scotland Attack Sparks</p><p>28:06 Ireland Pack Dominance</p><p>28:47 Back Row Breakdown</p><p>31:15 Eve Higgins And Kicking</p><p>33:31 Flashpoint Yellow Card</p><p>35:45 Team Niggle Debate</p><p>38:06 Scotland Threats Next Week</p><p>41:29 England France Prediction</p><p>43:09 Ireland U20s Pipeline</p><p>45:47 Mban Squad Merch Story</p><p>47:50 Round Four Wrap Up</p>

Episode 22: Obviously Maybe
Round 3 is done — and Chloe Pearse is back, somehow vertical after UL Bohemian's AIL title win, to help us make sense of it all. England did England things against Wales. Italy absolutely shocked Scotland in a result nobody saw coming. And Ireland went to Clermont, matched France for long stretches, created chances, and came home empty-handed. Again. The margins are getting smaller. The performances are getting better. The results just aren't following yet. Cian has done something slightly unhinged with statistics that we're not going to spoil here. Let's just say the number is one in four thousand, and leave it at that. We also get into the bench decisions that had us shouting at the screen, the art of managing a referee without getting binned, and what Ireland need to do differently when Wales come to Belfast on the 9th of May. 👕 The mBan Squad kit, as modelled by Ailbhe, is now on sale — all proceeds to HerSport → (https://mudder-rucker-store.myspreadshop.net) 📸 Instagram → @mudderruckerpodcast 🟦 Bluesky → @mudderrucker.bsky.social 🎙️ Ailbhe → @irishwomens.bsky.social 📚 Cian → @rugbykino.bsky.social ▶️ YouTube → youtube.com/@MudderRucker 00:11 Chloe returns — held together with adrenaline and goodwill 01:05 Three AIL titles in a row — how did it happen? 07:32 England v Wales — more of the same, but Wales showed heart 10:34 Zoe Harrison and the one in four thousand 16:36 Italy shock Scotland — discipline, yellow cards, and a record bonus point 21:16 The table — what it means for Ireland, Italy and Scotland 25:05 Ireland v France — so close, so frustrating 29:03 Erin King, Aoife Wafer and the performances that gave us hope 34:27 The bench decisions that had us shouting at the screen 38:12 Do Ireland need to be in the referee's ear more? 43:11 The art of managing a referee — Chloe's masterclass 43:40 Belfast on the 9th of May — get your tickets
