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.
Just as is the case with the PWR - test match women’s rugby has never been in ruder health, but it’s certainly not perfect yet. Let’s be honest: it won’t ever be. We’ll never reach the Platonic ideal of the global game, but we can definitely hope that the year ends having seen hard-fought, lovingly-covered, and widely-enjoyed contests.
