Women’s elite-level rugby is getting better, says Eagle Women 15s Head Coach Pete Steinberg, but there are some thin areas.
We asked Steinberg to spell out some skill deficiencies among the 200 players that recently wrapped up their all-star week at Tiger Town in Florida. Steinberg instead opted to discuss positions, and then extrapolated those issues to relate to skills.
The Women’s All-Star week following Christmas Day is done with a series of final games among eight teams.
