Sweden rugby union captain Amanda Swartz tells us about growing up as a competitive figure skater and why she decided to switch sports. The Leicester Tigers player is keen to change perceptions of female rugby players and combines playing for the club, with working in their ticket office.

Will Greenwood and his wife Caro discuss the pain of losing a child and the work they do to support research into premature births. Their first child Freddie passed away after being born prematurely and Caro then experienced problems during her pregnancy with Archie. At the time, Will left England’s squad at the World Cup in Australia to be at his wife’s side before she told him to return to the group. He was then part of a World Cup winning team and their second child was born later.

Grace Jale tells us about reconnecting with her Fijian roots. The Perth Glory forward made history at the Women’s World Cup by becoming the first player of Fijian descent to be called up by New Zealand. She says it was a huge moment for her extended family and reveals why she was told she made the squad by e-mail.
