Welcome to Episode 8 of GrassRoots – Women’s Rugby from the Roots Up.


In this special episode we meet the amazing Sue Anstiss.

In a brilliant and wide-ranging interview, we discuss Sue’s work advocating women in sport, her amazing book ‘Game On, the Unstoppable Rise of Women’s in Sport’ and her upcoming documentary, Game On.


Sue very kindly picks our ‘Bruise of the Month’ Winner, and gives us an amazing insight into the incredible people behind the growth of women’s rugby.

We hear some VERY interesting news from our league which prompts us to discuss how to get rid of your coach. Jodie brings an Italian theme to Knock On / Knock off and Mollie backpedals on her rant about the new tackle height laws.

We have a new competition!
