She's the Champ is sticking in the Championship North this week, as Bluebell sits down with Buckingham Swans fly-half Heather Barnes. Heather talks about her introduction to rugby, as a nine year old playing for an U15s side (where she got nicknamed 'The Terminator'). She reveals the difference in play styles between Champ North's more northernly teams and those further south, and she talks about Buckingham Swans' high hopes for the season as they sit top of the table with three bonus point wins from three.
Plus Bluebell looks back at a full week of fixtures, and ahead to another to come this weekend.

S2 E2: Lauren Roberts
She's the Champ is back for another full game week of fixtures, and this week we are venturing to Championship North with West Park Leeds' captain Lauren Roberts. A fly half who loves a ruck, Lauren's a versatile player across different positions and different codes, bringing experience and leadership to the side. She talks to Bluebell about how growing up in Dubai meant she got into rugby through 7s, and how her career's taken her around the world, including playing in Spain. They also talk about the challenge for Champ sides which aren't linked to a Prem side, the politics of plaiting on game day and which artist should be considered the unofficial of women's rugby.
Plus Bluebell wraps up the three games played in the bye week, looks ahead to a full week of fixtures this weekend and goes through the tables for the first time this season.

S2 E1.5: Off-Week Special
Bluebell brings you a special episode of She's the Champ for the off-week!
This season, She's the Champ will be following the rhythm of the Championship game weeks - with two weeks on then one week off. But thanks to this summer's drought, the first week of the season was delayed and affected the best-laid plans of your favourite podcasters.
So Bluebell's here with a short round-up of the results from Round 1, including an impressive win for a newly-promoted side, and looks ahead to the three games held this weekend.
