Welcome to our new Women's Rugby World Cup series, Off-Script and Onside, hosted by actor and sports fan Jim Carter, alongside ex-England rugby player Brian Moore.

In this episode, Brian and Jim look ahead to the Women's Rugby World Cup, and with their guest and ex-Scotland rugby player Lisa O'Keefe, discuss what they're hoping for the tournament.

Founded in 1984, Women in Sport is the longest-standing charity in its field with a proud history of securing change for women and girls. At its heart lies a deep understanding of the needs of women and girls in relation to sport and a passion to address the stubborn gender inequalities that still exist.

Based on expert insight, Women in Sport challenges the system, offers solutions and inspires change. Not only do we believe in girls and women having access to fair and safe sport for the joy, fulfilment and lifelong benefits it offers, but we care about this because it can address health inequalities and help society to thrive.

We continue to build strong partnerships with the corporate, sports and leisure sectors, grow our influence in parliament and develop powerful projects. By doing so we have led the field in creating change for teenage girls and challenged the system to better serve women in midlife.
