A lot of traditional rugby fans are also really dismissive of the Sevens version of the game, let alone the women’s game, so have no concept of how impactful Ilona has been ON the field the last couple of seasons.
Also, Im going to scream if I see any more “we don’t need this American style hype in the game” type comments.
There are writers/journalists with far more knowledge of rugby union than me, but a sport struggling massively from a financial standpoint - especially at club level - should probably aim to be a bit more openminded!
Really enjoyed this one Molly!
Thanks for this Gem
