Here we are, about to begin another season of Premiership Women’s Rugby. Last season saw Gloucester-Hartpury Women lift the trophy once again, winning a free-flowing finale against Bristol Bears Women.
The Australian women's sevens team are currently flying the flag for Australian rugby - easily the best team Down Under - but there’s been a development within the 15s game which also merits attention- former England scrum-half Jo Yapp signing her own green and gold contract.
As Wasps savoured their moment of magic, a concurrent plot played out. Yes, they had de-bagelled themselves in the standings–but they were also en route to shipping nine tries, and finding themselves with just five matches left in the league.
