Episode 8: Marlie Packer

Alasdair Hooper and Will Moulton bring you episode 8 of SportSpiel, a podcast full of sporting discussion and feature interviews.

In our first segment we discuss:

• Adam Peaty’s global dominance
• If the England Women’s Cricket World Cup triumph can be a springboard for the sport
• Managing team-mates and the role of team orders in Formula 1

Our feature interview segment in this episode is with 2014 Rugby World Cup-winning star Marlie Packer. With the 2017 World Cup due to start on August 9 in Ireland the hopes are high that England can retain their title. Marlie looks ahead to the upcoming tournament and gives us an insight into what it takes to be a part of the world’s best team. She also tells us just how she juggles playing rugby with being a plumber.
