About this episode

Mo Hunt discusses her journey from missing World Cup selection to becoming a world champion, including personal challenges and her entrepreneurial venture.

Missing out on World Cup selection in 2022 ‘shattered’ Mo Hunt’s world; she got drunk, turned her phone off and had to deal with thought of her mum quitting her job to watch her in a tournament she was now no longer playing in. The Gloucester-Hartpury scrum half discusses battling back from that time to her life before being a professional rugby player as a PE teacher, giving up chocolate and drinking ahead of tournaments and opening MoZo coffee shop with friend, and teammate, Zoe Stratford. Mo also talks about how 2025 was a turbulent year for her featuring a break-up, a first solo holiday and becoming a world champion, as well as her pre-match routine and superstitions including a personal song, white feathers and a strict shaving routine. In this podcast you will also hear from Mo's mum Sally, her sister Jess, as well as Red Roses' teammates Alex Matthews and Emma Sing. This podcast was recorded in January 2026.
