[[Live TV*]] Ealing Trailfinders vs Bristol Live Broadcast 17 September 2023
7 days ago — (WATCH LIVE**)) Today: Northampton - Ealing Trailfinders live 10 September 2023 Rugby Union: English Premiership Rugby Cup.
When I think about all the things I had to do at Wasps… I had some amazing staff but they weren’t full time so when they were in they had to maximise their time with the team. “We got by and did the best we could, the team did amazing things. But the opportunity here is to have a fully staffed pathway, for our Premier 15s staff to be experts in their area rather than jacks of all trades.
The time to become an expert, to review all the games, to ask questions and dig deep to become an expert and to better support our players – all that will be to our benefit. ”You’d be forgiven for thinking Mather’s new role sounds like more of an office job as a leader, rather than out on the field, but don’t dare tell her that. “I’ll still be coaching too, because I can’t let that go… it’s my lifeblood. The DoR stuff I am learning and growing all the time, but actually… being out on the field is special and I can’t let that go quite yet. ”West London is rich with high quality clubs and players.
Ealing Trailfinders Women: Building a Premier 15s team from the ground upThe next iteration of the Allianz Premier 15s is now set, with two new faces joining, two teams leaving and two more set to stay around to complete a ten team league, presuming they each complete conditions set by the RFU. For most of the already established Premier 15s teams, it’s back to business as usual, but for newbies Ealing Trailfinders and Leicester Tigers comes the opportunity to create entirely new set ups from scratch. Ealing Trailfinders Women have sensibly looked to one of the Premier 15’s most successful coaches to lead and build their set up, Giselle Mather having led Wasps Women to the semi-finals multiple times and built a brand of fast, free flowing but defensively sound rugby that was a joy to watch.
”So where does a team find talented, experienced, high-end individuals to support their pathway players and to put the team on the front foot from day one? For Mather, the answer was obvious and thus, she found herself in New Zealand for the World Cup. “When has a Premier 15s club sent their Director of Rugby that far afield to scout? That’s what I was there to do; to watch, to scout, to see. I went to the first two pool rounds so I got to see all 12 nations play twice. The standard across the games was so high. I was watching South Africa against Fiji and it was like a game of sevens. Insane, but awesome to watch. I had been in the South Africa camp in the week to watch them train and what happened in that game wasn’t part of the plan, it was breath-taking.

Will I get everything I want? Of course not, but if I raise my standards, I have the opportunity to build something special, not for instant and immediate results – though we want that too – but I’m looking for a sustainable environment that athletes really want to be involved in. “Ealing Trailfinders Women has been built from the roots out to the tip. When we joined the Premier 15s with Wasps we had to go from the top first, because we had to get first teams up and ready to compete. For a while we had the development league and then that was dropped, and not long later Covid hit and affected the pathways even more.

Watching them develop their careers has been wonderful and now we have the opportunity to do that for players here. ”The sense of opportunity is palpable when speaking to Mather and she beams as she considers the possibilities ahead. “Am I going to have the model spot-on on day one? No! But I’m aware of that. We’ll review and move forward. The attitude here is to go for it, and then refine and improve as we progress.
“The team I’ll have is being put together from scratch, and I have a blank sheet in front of me with the instruction to go out and build! ” she tells me when I ask around the coaching set up. “I will have a very comprehensive team around me. I wish it was the same for everyone across the league. I go to do things now and have people saying to me ‘why are you doing that? That’s what we’re here to do’.

”Calling upon Red Roses is another clear aspiration for Ealing Trailfinders Women. “I’m an ex-Red Rose – what we call now a vintage Rose – myself, so of course I want Red Roses in my team. I’m passionate about England doing well and I want to bring athletes through. I used to do England under 20s when Emily Scarratt, Vicky Fleetwood, Marlie Packer, Mo Hunt and all of that group still playing now were coming through.
