Crowd Network has introduced three new presenters to its podcast For The Love of Rugby, who are producing a series for the Guinness Women’s Six Nations.
Joining full-time host Ben Youngs are Red Roses Sadia Kabeya (Loughborough Lightning) and Maud Muir (Gloucester-Hartpury) and retired England player Shaunagh Brown (Harlequins Women). They will present weekly episodes, delving into the tournament and sharing exclusive insights from inside the Red Roses’ camp.
This comes as Crowd continues championing women’s sports, creating female-led content and working with brands to secure authentic, meaningful partnerships. The company also works with Chelsea FC Women’s football team on the We Are Chelsea podcast
Sage is continuing its partnership with For The Love of Rugby as its official insights partner, providing live data on the tournament.
The new hosts use Sage insights to analyse the games and make predictions on upcoming matches for their audience.
For The Love Of Rugby launched in January 2024 and has since grown its fanbase to become one of Crowd’s most popular podcasts, landing in the Top 10 for sports podcasts on Apple Podcasts and Spotify.
Louise Gwilliam, Talent Manager at Crowd Network, said: “2025 is set to be the biggest year in the history of rugby, never mind women’s rugby, and we’re so excited to bolster our roster of world-class talent by welcoming Shaunagh, Sadia, and Maud to the Crowd community.
“They’re providing our listeners with next-level insights, both from their experience of playing at the highest level and with data from our partner Sage.
“As we build towards the Women’s World Cup on English soil later this year, which is already breaking ticket sale records, we want more brands to join us in supporting women’s sports by investing in female-led content and partnering authentically with female athletes.”
