    New research shows that young women, parents and teachers strongly believe that there should be more female role models in sport.

    Gallagher, title partner of Premiership Rugby and now official partner of Project Rugby, released the research for International Women’s Day, revealing how playing sport has a positive impact on young women’s confidence and self-esteem.

    To tell us more about the research and to celebrate the achievements of sportswomen we were joined by professional rugby player, ambassador for Gallagher Premiership Rugby, and previous winner of the Rugby World Cup, Danielle ‘Nolli’ Waterman.
