Behind The Scenes with Scaz at Loughborough’s New Franklin’s Gardens Home

It’s round two of Scaz Vs Mo this week, as Loughborough Lightning hosted Gloucester-Hartpury at their new home of Franklins Gardens.
Join tour guide Scaz for this Loughborough special, starting with a behind-the-scenes look at the facilities. From the brand new indoor pitch to the pregame changing room setup, it’s clear the blossoming partnership with Northampton Saints is set to be a good’un.
A victorious Mo joins the duo post-game, with a Scottish lineup of Rachel Malcolm & Helen Nelson for a pitchside natter. We hear about Scaz & Mo’s recent trip to Pembrokeshire, Rachel’s time in the number two jersey, Helen’s other life as an alpine skier, and we finish off with a Ceilidh. What more could you ask for?
Season 3 of The Good, The Scaz & The Rugby is in partnership with Vodafone UK.

Elma, Scaz and welcome back Mo. That was pretty cool. I mean sheesh what more could you ask for , lots of laughs, great to hear from Rachel and Helen and hearing about how they started their careers. Good to hear that Scaz has a fan base all over the place. I remember when NZ included Scaz in their Family Reunion campaign prior to the World Cup, I tell you that ad went nuts …….Okay so thanks for the tour, insights and laughs. See you next time

What's this NZ reunion campaign? Intrigued:)

[@maryoti9557]

@@razmataz13drums - Prior to the WWC21 being played in NZ, there was an ad campaign centred around Family Reunion - pretty much encouraging Kiwis to go support the teams etc and Scaz was part of the ad campaign …hope that makes sense

Great pod! Love seeing Mo back (thank you for the selfie on Sunday 🥰) Mo have you learnt what reconciliation means yet? And can’t wait to see you as a ref 😂 It was a great match, I love the Garden’s, it’s one of my happy places and have loved watching Loughborough Lightning ⚡️ play there. As a saints fan, I know I will be getting behind the girls and can’t wait to see more of them! Great hearing from Helen Nelson and Rachel Malcolm in more depth.

It's great to see Loughborough at the best ground in the prem!

[@Iainrankingtheobscure]

Northampton is a big Rugby Town, and I am sure Northampton folk will get behind you me included

Great getting to know Prem15’s interesting, intelligent & over-achieving characters through the show! Please get Bulou M on one day. Love her performances for LL⚡️& is very intriguing from Scaz’s descriptions.

[@1Molehill]

Well done Mo for the RPA Premier 15's players award. You were the obvious choice.

Harlow Ladies Rugby Club were on tour in Tenby, great crowd, great night!

Love this

[@Houselightsdown]

Another great pod, love the variety this year of studio and getting around the country visiting the teams 🥳 Mo mentioned the heat in the pod Summer rugby as a spectator I find is a welcome change after months of being wrapped up on the sidelines, but playing in it looks brutal. Always wondered as a player is it noticeably warmer on a 4G pitch to a turf one and is there a preference to play when the sun has been on it all day?? I ask because it was 🥵 at Sarries on Sunday and it felt like the heat was radiating off the pitch something chronic

Watching a dyed in the wool Leicester Tigers supporter having to give a guided tour of the Gardens 😅👌🏻

[@neill392]

Was that the Gay Gordons??

[@markw9548]

Yep - Haven't seen that in 50 years !!!!! Class !

Rowland isn't an number 10 and never will be.

[@SandSMat]

Helena Rowland is such a talented player, I would be comfortable playing anywhere in the backs. With regards the Red Roses number 10, I think that Holly Aitcheson has established herself as first choice so, for me, HR with her versatility would be my second choice instead of Zoe Harrison. My head is going down below the parapet now.

[@robw7676]

​@SandSMat Holly, Zoe & Helena all need to be in consideration. They play multiple positions. Goal kicking could decide a knockout match at the world cup next year, all 3 of them kicking well from hand but suffer from very variable form off the tee - can be brilliant at times, or mediocre at others. The Roses will need to slot their most in-form goal kicker in somewhere.
