Summary
Flo, Rachel and Chloe are back with another Upfront, your weekly guide to the biggest stories from across women's football!
Today, we round up the fourth round of the FA Cup as Leicester and Southampton secured upsets while Bridgwater's dream run came to an end. We also react to Australia's shock exit at the Asian Cup and discuss a significant - but not substantial enough - improvement in players' contract terms around maternity and sickness cover.

| 0:00.0 | Welcome to Upfront on the Football Rammel Presents. I'm Flo Lloyd Hughes, I'm Chloe Morgan, |
| 0:11.5 | and I'm Rachel O'Sullivan. On today's show there was no FA Cup fairytale |
| 0:15.8 | for Bridgewater but we look at some of the intriguing mini-up sets from across the fourth |
| 0:19.8 | round on Sunday. Over in India the Matilda's crashed out of the Asian Cup quarterfinals |
| 0:24.8 | just 18 months out from co-hosting the World Cup. What's going wrong for Australia's national |
| 0:29.8 | team and we take a look at the landmark new reforms around maternity cover, the players |
| 0:34.3 | announced last week, but what still needs to be done. |
| 0:59.8 | Big Weekend. Big Weekend for all of us. So much happened. I was in Butland, I felt |

| 1:45.7 | on the cooler? It was more about... Yes, you have a seat or did you have to... |
| 1:49.8 | Well, I'd been practicing some looks, like you said. So it's very much kind of like a |
| 1:52.9 | defensive type vibe, you know, very kind of like, oh, you know, considering subs, |
| 1:57.4 | that kind of thing. You know, really just important things. Were you allowed to give |
| 2:00.7 | your thoughts on the game? Or was it strictly like these, the coaches and the |
