Weekend Edition: Russian dolls, fax machines & legal threats - the making of the first Women's Rugby World Cup

Our guest today, Alice Cooper, fought to set up
the first ever Women's Rugby World Cup in 1991,
along with three other trailblazing women. It took players
selling Russian dolls and vodka to pay their way, organising
everything over fax, and Alice losing her job - but they did it.
Alice tells Gabby and Mark the story of how they paved the way
for this year's World Cup.

Plus, we look back at the best bits from this week's shows:
former Nottingham Forest player David Prutton
asked, could Mourinho replace
Nuno at Forest?! After dream debuts for
16-year-old Rio Ngumoha and 15-year-old
Max Dowman, Max's former coach at
Arsenal, Temisan Williams, and
The Telegraph's Sam Wallace joined us. And
comedian and Grimsby fan, Lloyd Griffith, took
the mickey out of Mark after their shock Carabao Cup win over
Man United.
