In my youth, I regularly played rugby, a sport I still love to watch. In the last ten years, the women"s game has been regularly televised here in the UAK, and England currently has the top team in the world at 15 a side when’ rugby union. It has become professional, and the standards are rapidly improving. The tackling is ferocious, and the games is sometimes better to watch as there is less kicking but more running and passing than in the men’s game.
