In part two of Emily and Ray’s walk with Ellie Kildunne, the conversation turns to some of the biggest highs and toughest moments of her life and career.

Ellie reflects on what it felt like to finally lift the Rugby World Cup, the surreal experience of being turned into a Barbie doll, and the challenges she faced during the Covid pandemic, when uncertainty around rugby and life beyond the sport took a significant toll.

It's an honest and revealing conversation about resilience, identity and finding your way through difficult periods, even when the outside world sees only success.

If you haven’t already, do catch up on part one.

If you'd like to learn more about Ellie's story, her memoir Game Changer is out now and well worth a read.
