When was the first organised women’s rugby league match in Britain? All is revealed as this week’s ‘Rugby Reloaded’ plus talks to Dr Victoria Dawson about her PhD research into the history of women’s involvement in British rugby league.

Dr Dawson is also looking for interviewees for her ‘Wembley Women project, so go to www.wembleywomen.wordpress.com for furhter details.
