Women's Rugby

Just watched the replay, Canada were super impressive. Their 9 is brilliant. Could be an epic final if they can play as well against England (assuming the Red Roses beat France tonight).

They did but they're going to have to be a whole lot better to beat Canada.

I see that Canada are still amateurs, why are they so successful? It's quite an aberration compared to the men's.

they are not really amatuers. I think its more they don't have a professional club competiton? Heaps of their players play in the UK.

They have a strong link between 7s and 15s - something I reckon will happen soon enough over here.

They have a very strong university program too apparently.

Mens and Womens university sport program need to have the same amount of funding in Canada, however there are a lot less sports for women being offered. Thus Womens university rugby is getting more funding.
