    It's another bumper episode of The Power Pod as Philippa and Nick welcome guests Liv McGoverne from Exeter Chiefs, Saracens' Sydney Gregson and coach Mouritz Botha. We also hear from 'Millie Whizz' as the Bristol winger grabbed a brace last weekend and Sean Lynn looks ahead to the Circus heading to the StoneX.

    Most importantly, we'll hear the best examination from Zainab Alema as to who would win in a fight - a bear or a tiger.

    A ticket giveaway, RWC draw reaction and listener questions... one of these weeks our episodes will get shorter. Just not this week!

    With three PWR sides scoring over 50 points and four teams yet to win, Philippa and Nick see who stood up on the R2 weekend where attack won the day and examine who will edge victory in R3.
    We hear reaction from an unimpressed Nathan Smith at Loughborough, a frustrated Ross Chisholm at Quins and Saracens’ Alex Austerberry reacts to the news that the 2025 PWR Final will be held at their StoneX ground.
    Bristol head coach Dave Ward looks ahead to Round 3 where we have two repeats of last season’s semi-finals and we meet our first recorded Power Pals. Plus Rownita Marston-Mulhearn answers One Question and poses a classic of her own.

They explore what happened with Liv McGoverne’s charged down conversion as Philippa consults the law book, before surveying the selections in the PWR Team of the Week. There's a good look at the Round 2 fixtures and PT picks her weekly Power Play. Our thanks to Oval Insights for the stats.
