Big D has decided to take over her ailing Rugby League team and they soon find out that she is rougher, tougher and quicker on the ball than they are. She arranges a charity match and vows to give nothing away.
Ronnie Rendell has been given the task of reporting on Garsley Garment's Rugby league matches and his first report is far from promising. He is not helped by the team's new name, 'Frilly Things', which has been chosen by Di in order to help them prove their masculinity by winning!
Garsley Garments celebrates its centenary week and the 'Frilly Things' rugby team are involved in the celebrations. The proceedings become rather unruly and only the appearance of Big D prevents a major brawl.
The 'Frilly Things' feel they are being given a hard time by referees and Big D moves in to action. She keeps being told the ref is programmed like a robot to act at the sight of a foul, but she finds that inside the machine is a human being struggling to get out.
There's a huge problem for the rugby team when the beer pumps in the clubhouse break down again. Worse still they don't have enough money in the kitty to get them repaired...
There could be a bloodbath when the 'Frilly Things' meet Doncaster Disinfectants and it looks as though Big D will have to motivate her men to avoid defeat - especially as there is money on the result.
