Women's Rugby Scrumming To Town

Another notch on London's world class sporting host bedpost was marked up today with news that we'll be hosting the 2010 Women's Rugby World Cup. Despite losing to the female All Blacks in 2006, England are reigning 6 Nations triple Grand Slam Champions, European Cup and Nations Cup champions so adding the World Cup to the trophy cabinet on home soil at Twickers, the RFU HQ, would be scrumtastically sweet. We wait to see whether pressure to open up the women's game to new audiences sees them succumb to Dieux du Stade style marketing.
