OUR GAMEMAKERS: WOMEN'S RUGBY

In the past few years, women's rugby has gained more attention than ever and inspired millions. Often considered a 'man's game',  this book delves into the remarkable stories of the women who love rugby and played it anyway, and so played a pivotal role in building the world of women's rugby into what it is today.

Our GameMakers is not just a book; it’s a thrilling journey through the history of women’s rugby, from those who were there. These women weren't trying to break barriers - they just wanted to play - but they did, from little girls who didn't see why they shouldn't play when their fathers, brothers and uncles did, to a group of mothers who decided to have a go at the game their own sons were playing.  Learn about the creation of the first Women's Rugby World Cup, players who have gone on to coaching and reporting, players who have juggled international rugby with motherhood - all driven by a love of the game.

13 New Zealanders are featured who have all had a considerable impact on the progression of the global game, including current players such as Portia Woodman and Sarah Hirini, as well as legends from the past like Louisa Wall, Rochelle Martin, Melodie Robinson, Kendra Cocksedge and Dr Farah Palmer.
