It's great that RFU is looking for schools to join the upcoming rugby game events.
For sure, many fanatics will come to watch the Women's Rugby League matches. Actually. I'm one of the fans who's hook on rugby games especially when women play them. I enjoy watching women's rugby games because they have the same energy as men, and also play very intensely. Every time I watch a girls' rugby game, it is always looks different and new to me. Because only a few women want to engage in this kind of sport.
