Yesterday, the Women’s Rugby League World Cup began with England playing Brazil. As part of our sports scholarship programme, our girls went to go see the opening game at Headlingley Stadium. The match was an excellent event with a vibrant and exciting atmosphere. The game was fantastic, with England winning 72-4 in a fourteen try thriller. For the majority of our girls, it was their first every time watching live rugby and we all left he ground feeling inspired and buoyed by the growth of women’s sport and the platform it is now receiving.
Thanks for being excellent ambassadors girls, lets keep on supporting England this campaign!
Eager for the game to start!
