It's not as bad as it looks, folks!
Ruth Bourke (Pride) is not trying to strip-search the game's star turn, Hannah Wall (Capital), mid-match! The striker's doing such a good job of shielding the ball that the defender simply can't see it, so is doing everything within her powers to try to discover it!!
