Longlisted for William Hill Sports Book of the Year 2020 'This
pioneering memoir . . . engagingly balances the highs of captaincy
and grand slams with striking emotional honesty as to herregrets'
Guardian Books of the Year 'Her struggle is that of women's rugby
and it is told here with great honesty' Sunday Times Books of the
Year Catherine Spencer was the captain of the England women's rugby
team for three years. She scored eighteen tries for England, won
six of the eight Six Nations competitions she took part in, and
captained her team to three championship titles, a European cup,
two Nations Cup tournament victories and the World Cup final held
on home soil in 2010, which thrust women's rugby into the
limelight. All of this while holding down a full time job, because
the women's team, unlike the men's, did not get paid for their
sport. Mud, Maul, Mascara is an effort to reconcile alleged
opposites, to show the woman behind the international sporting
success. Painfully honest about the mental struggles Catherine
faced during, and after, her career as an elite athlete, it is also
warm, funny and inspirational - a book for anyone who has ever had
a dream, or self-doubt, or a yearning for a really good, mud-proof
mascara.
