RFU Votes to Ban Transgender Women from Rugby Amid Controversy | WRR 73
Welcome to the top women’s rugby news in under 60 seconds for Jul 25-31! The RFU voted to ban transgender women from playing rugby. Exclusionary policies like this only harm women’s sport and worse take the focus away from real problems around rugby safety. The game has a rampant problem with concussions and early onset dementia that is largely being ignored.
In International XVs news, South Africa got the best of Japan in their second match, winning 20-10 while The Irish Times indicates that Ireland will be announcing “40+ contracts before their Test tour to Japan”.
In Domestic XVs news, Bay of Plenty gritted out a key win with a victory over Auckland and Wasps have named LJ Lewis as their new head coach.
In 7s news, the Wallaroos defeated Fiji in the Commonwealth Games while the Black Ferns beat Canada for the bronze and the Headliners conquered the Premier Rugby Sevens Championships.
We close out the week with 7 features and 8 media.
