About this episode

The episode discusses the Women's Six Nations, featuring insights from players and addressing important issues like disordered eating.

Warning: This episode contains discussion of disordered eating which some may find distressing. Sara is joined by World Cup winner Katy Daley-McLean and former Scotland fly-half Lisa Martin to talk all things Women's Six Nations. There is still plenty to discuss from the opening weekend after a big omission in the Wales matchday programme and Meg Jones' joining the post-match celebrations with fans at a Twickenham pub. Over 30,000 fans are expected at Murrayfield this weekend, which will be a record for a women's sporting event in Scotland, but how do the SRU capitalise on this moving forward? England and Scotland's injury lists continues to grow and we get our predictions for round two. There is also a powerful interview with Red Roses star Ellie Kildunne who opens up about her struggle with body dysmorphia. If you or anyone you know have been affected by any of the themes raised in this episode, help and support is available at BBC Action Line. URL - https://www.bbc.co.uk/actionline
