In this special edition of the RPA Players Voice podcast, we've managed to speak to the new RPA Chair, Ruaridh McConnochie, and RPA Vice Chair, Freddie Clarke, to see how they feel after the election and what their aims are ahead of the upcoming season following on from the RPA being co-signatories of the Men's Professional Game Partnership (PGP).

Ruaridh & Freddie have replaced Ethan Waller (Beef) and Harry Elrington as Chair and Vice Chair respectively.

We talk to her about the paper, and what she learned from it, and what can be done in women's sport regarding this topic.
