The Ruby Tui Special
Rugby Union Weekly - A podcast by BBC Radio 5 Live
She's the Sevens star who won Olympic gold in Tokyo and her post-match interview with the BBC became a viral sensation. Two years on, she's one of the biggest names in women's rugby preparing to play in her first Rugby World Cup. So to mark the start of the tournament, Sara and Ugo bring you a special pod with New Zealand rugby icon Ruby Tui. They discuss her journey to the top, her turbulent childhood, and how it has shaped who she is today. She teaches them some well-known Māori phrases and tells us how special the Haka is to her. We also get Ruby's take on the tournament favourites England, and an insight into the Black Ferns transformation since the arrival of former All Blacks assistant coach Wayne Smith.
