Description

It's very hard to describe Claire Purdy without using the word 'legend' - because genuinely, that's what she is.

At the end of last month, she made her 250th appearance for Wasps Ladies - and as if that mammoth achievement wasn't enough, she was part of the England side that lifted the World Cup in 2014.

Few people have done more to be a servant to the game - and it's an absolute pleasure to have the chance to sit down with her for this episode of the podcast.

There's plenty on the agenda for this one, including how Claire got her start in the game; whether winning the World Cup in 2014 banished the memories of losing in 2010; returning to work and reality; how Wasps is like a family; and what the next stage of her life has in store.

Honestly, we loved having someone as articulate, modest and open as Claire on the podcast - and we're sure you'll love her as well!
