More Than a Game

from Four Thought Hosted by BBC Radio 4

Lydia Furse looks at the personal and political benefits of playing women's rugby. Lydia has long played rugby, and in this passionate talk discusses the harmony of bodies working together, a well-executed try, and how being in a scrum has made her feel differently about her physical image. She argues that women's rugby - much more than a game - is empowerment, it is boundary breaking, and it needs to be feminist. Producer: Giles Edwards.
