Sara Cox MBE: Breaking Barriers and Blowing the Whistle
This week on Rugby Rodeo, Jess and Ellie are joined by one of the most respected officials in world rugby, Sara Cox MBE. From retiring as a young player to making history as the first female referee in Premiership Rugby, Sara’s journey is one of resilience, trailblazing and passion for the game. The trio chat through her early days finding her voice in a male-dominated field, the nerves and pride of that iconic Premiership debut, and the significance of reaching her 50th international Test. They also dive into the lighter side, the funniest moments, toughest calls, matchdays, and what fans don’t see behind the whistle. Sara opens up about being the first woman in many of her roles, collecting her MBE from Princess Anne, and what the next generation of referees can expect. It’s an inspiring, funny, and honest conversation with one of rugby’s true groundbreakers. Presented by Emirates.
