Women and Sport

Forty years ago many sports were closed to women, now they can participate in almost every sport and achieve the highest standards. As just one example top women marathon runners are recording times which not that many tears ago would have been good enough to win the mens Olympic title. Rugby is no different. The secret is out it is a great game that can be played at all ability levels and has a brilliant social tradition, far too good to leave to the men
