I’d hardly finished my coffee or opened my emails this morning, when my editor emailed me an image that she said had “undone” her. I clicked: Abbie Ward, of the England women’s rugby team, celebrating the World Cup win at Twickenham with her two-year-old daughter, Hallie, in her arms, taking it all in.
I could instantly see why my editor was moved. You don’t have to be a rugby fan to find this image powerful - it's another milestone for women’s sport, every bit as iconic as the image of Chloe Kelly swinging her shirt around her head after scoring the winning goal for England against Germany in the UEFA Women's Euro 2022 final.
