“It's so easy to chase perfection, but it doesn't exist. The whole world is built on imperfection - and that's what makes it beautiful.”It was our privilege to talk to World Cup winner and Bristol Bears tighthead Sarah Bern for today's episode of The Game Changers podcast as she relives that history-making day at Twickenham and what's to follow. Sarah candidly traces her journey from a teenager wrestling with body image to a visible role model for strong, muscular women. Authentic on and off the pitch, Sarah shares how Ilona Maher's arrival at Bristol Bears helped her find her own voice on social media - a powerful tool to drive change and open vital commercial doors for female athletes.Sarah takes us behind the scenes - sharing what it's feels like in an England scrum or waiting in the tunnel walk to walk out in front of 82,000 fans. We also talk about the crossover of fashion and women's sport with the launch of her own clothing label - Below the Shoulder - with her teammates, a Vogue photoshoot and how Red Roses merchandise has been selling out in stores.Looking ahead, Sarah calls for true equality across sport as we judge female athletes by what happens on the pitch, not by their appearance.Her legacy goal is simple and powerful - to help women feel comfortable in their own skin so they can attack life with purpose and joy.Thank you to Sport England who support The Game Changers Podcast with a National Lottery award.Find out more about The Game Changers podcast here: https://www.fearlesswomen.co.uk/thegamechangersHosted by Sue AnstissProduced by Sam Walker, What Goes On MediaA Fearless Women production

Clapham's finest are BACK. In a bigger, brasher studio, Freddy Clode reunites with the self-proclaimed CEO of Clapham, Archie Curzon, to revive the multi-award-winning Rig Biz energy—Le Bantier at full throttle. From Archie's catastrophic crypto saga to why “the people need something” in a flatlining economy, the boys dive straight into the chaos, swap tears for takedowns, and set the tone for a new era of unapologetic city chat meets rugby reality. There's proper rugby meat on the bone, too. Archie drops a bombshell—leaving Clapham Falcons and signing for Richmond—while the lads chew over the biggest headline of the season: the Red Bull-fuelled Newcastle takeover, Dimes' exit, and whispers of marquee signings. Expect boardroom metaphors, PE/VC ruthlessness, and the kind of blunt verdicts that make timelines melt. And for the comeback guest? None other than World Cup champion Hannah Botterman. From the viral slow-mo knee slide to life inside a transformed Red Roses setup - cigarette burns, what really happened during the 3 day piss up - what it was like to work as painter and decorator and much more —nutritionists, cookies and all—Hannah brings needle, honesty and elite standards. Rivalries, France away, the psychology of winning 33 on the bounce: it's all here, with Rig Biz mischief woven through. Tap in, turn it up, and welcome back to the city's greatest rugby circus.

Not all fairytales have happy endings.In the home of rugby, on the hallowed ground of Twickenham, these mighty women represented Canada, and left it all on the pitch...but it wasn't meant to be, as they came up short against the might of England, as the Red Roses were victorious, 33-13, and lifted the Women's Rugby World Cup at home.But one defeat does not undo all the effort and successes elsewhere, as this tournament has proven that women's rugby - née, women's sport - is worthy of investment and growth, and that Canada's women are eager to bring the fight, as eyes turn to Australia in 2029.And one victory is certain - after years of us saying so, Sophie de Goede is finally recognised as the best Women's Rugby Player in the world for 2025.

It's a monster week of rugby with the Prem back and already throwing up drama, the URC kicking off with some big surprises.

World Cup winner and nominee for World Rugby Player of the Year, Meg Jones, joins Nuala McGovern. Following the Red Roses' win at the weekend, many have named Meg their player of the tournament. Meg reflects on the big win and how the death of both of her parents last year powered her on. A ‘carent 'is an adult child who is caring for one or both of their ageing parents, in-laws or elderly relatives. Many ‘carents' will be balancing work and family alongside. Dr Jackie Gray, a retired GP and founder of The Carents Room, joins Nuala to discuss, along with Kendra and Rachel who provide care for their parents. Award-winning actor Andrea Riseborough is one of five women portraying Mary Page Marlowe on stage at the Old Vic in London. The play is described as a “time-jumping mosaic” that spans 70 years in the life of an accountant and mother of two from Ohio. Andrea joins Nuala to discuss sharing the role with Susan Sarandon, and how this seemingly simple story of an ordinary woman invites audiences to reflect on our own lives. Author Bridget Collins discusses her latest novel, The Naked Light, a haunting gothic tale of ancient darkness, and a love that defies convention. It's set in England and focuses on three “surplus women” after the first world war.Presenter: Nuala McGovern Producer: Dianne McGregor

Coupe du Monde Féminine 2025 demi-finalesDans un stade bouillant où notre chère Amélie criait parfois plus fort que 25000 anglais, les françaises ont tutoyé les étoiles avant de rentrer dans le rang.

Avec cette 17e défaite de rang face à des anglaises solides mais pas invincibles, il va falloir se poser les bonnes questions, et surtout apporter les bonnes réponses sans chercher les coupables ailleurs que dans les actrices (et acteurs en tribune) de cette demi-finale. Dans l'autre demie, les canadiennes sont venues à bouts des Black Ferns de Nouvelle Zélande avec une belle marge, dans un match de toute beauté.

Deborah Griffin is a pioneer of women's rugby. She played in the first known women's game in England in 1978 and helped create the first Women's Rugby World Cup in 1991. Having never picked up a rugby ball until she created a team at university in the late seventies, Griffin quickly became one of the sport's most instrumental figures. The RFU originally had little interest in female teams, so Griffin and her rugby friends established a separate Women's Rugby Football Union in 1983. The WRFU and the RFU integrated in 2012 and the women's game exploded. Deborah Griffin took up her presidency of the RFU this past summer. As England's Red Roses play in the 2025 Women's Rugby World Cup, Griffin's name and those of other pioneers of the sport are stitched inside their official team jackets.Stephen Smith talks to friends and colleagues about Deborah Griffin's central role in bringing women's rugby to the fore.
