Women of Steel

Following the England Women’s Rugby League squad as they build up to the biggest competition of their lives, a home World Cup in October 2022.

Following the England Women’s Rugby League squad as they build up to the biggest competition of their lives, a home World Cup in October 2022.

This raw and honest journey takes a look at the women who are battling for a place in the squad, despite not being paid professionals and having to hold down full-time jobs alongside club rugby and England commitments.

For the first time in history, the women’s event is played alongside the men’s and wheelchair events. It’s the opportunity of a lifetime to represent England at a home World Cup – but who will make the final selection?
