Women’s Elite Rugby announcement prompted caution over sheer cost of playing but leading figures see bright future
Women’s Elite Rugby, the US start-up competition announced last month, could create “hundreds of professional female rugby players in a really short time”, a US Eagles international said, heralding a “great” development for elite women’s sport.
“There is skepticism,” said Emily Henrich, a Dartmouth graduate who plays center for the national team, “because worldwide there is a lack of money and resources for women’s sport. But that is obviously changing.”
