Hometown glory with Jess Breach

This week's guest is one of the most exciting talents in Women's rugby and she’s got strong roots right here in Sussex. 

Jess Breach grew up in Chichester, picked up a rugby ball at just six years old and hasn’t looked back since. From sprint hurdling to netball, hockey to gymnastics, Jess was a standout athlete long before she pulled on an England shirt.

She burst onto the international scene in jaw-dropping style, scoring six tries on her England debut and five more in her second game, a record few can match. 

She’s now got her eyes firmly on the 2025 Women’s Rugby World Cup, with the AMEX set to host three matches, including England v Australia. 

In this episode, we talk home town pride, international rugby and what it means to see women’s sport take centre stage right here in Sussex.
