Summary
On the eve of England competing in the Women’s Rugby World Cup Final, we sit down with former England star and TV pundit Ugo Monye to explore the unstoppable rise of women’s rugby — a sport now packing out stadiums and inspiring the next generation. We discuss how over £6 billion of National Lottery funding into grassroots sport has helped pave the way for this moment and Ugo shares his own rugby journey from the pitch to punditry. As dads, we also talk about the role fathers play in shaping opportunities for our children — especially our daughters — to thrive in sport and beyond. Learn more about your ad choices.
