More Than a Game Four Thought

    • Society & Culture

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.
