GRR: Eagle Women
World rugby today launched a new global women’s international competition that will include at least 16 teams and serves as a global league.
In a virtual press conference, featuring Interim Chief Executive Alan Gilpin, Competitions Operations Manager Alison Hughes, and GM of Women’s Rugby Katie Sadleir, the competition was outlined.
We saw a few firsts this week with American rugby players playing overseas.
Among those first was a first run-on for Nafi Maafu for USA Perpignan in France's Pro D2. Perpignan won 24-20 over Valence Romans.
Starting flyhalf for the USA team that won the 1991 Women's Rubgy World Cup, Harju was the table-setter for a dynamic and exciting USA backline.
USA Rugby has announced that it will be removing the USA Women's 7s team from the Madrid 7s.
After Day One of the second tournament of the Madrid 7s the USA women are in a very good position, and the USA men have work to do.
With France pulling out of the women's bracket at the last minute there was a bit of a change in the schedule. What meant for the USA is that their game with France didn't happen and they only got two games on Day One.
