Description

Rugby union is a game for all and in Australia the rise of the women's game stands out as one of the few positive narratives in recent years. We talk to Wallaroos captain Grace Hamilton about how women's rugby is on the rise and the current challenges faced by the Wallaroos to deal with the pandemic related pause to international rugby with the New Zealand world cup now postponed till 2022.Along the way, Grace talks about how she got into the sport, her comeback after not making a 63 playing squad in 2016 and we examine the pathways to the top for women in Australian rugby and just why the professionalisation of the 15 a side game for women represents a rare opportunity for Australia to once again become a world leader.
