About Rugby

Girls Rugby

Girls’ rugby celebrates differences in size, strength, shape and speed, empowering girls with self confidence, while participating in a game that develops their skills, fitness and team work.

There are a number of opportunities for girls to get involved and play rugby both on and off the field, whether as a player, coach, referee or volunteer.

These include our SJRU 7’s waves (Sizzling, Frosty and Spring 7’s) as well as a Girls XV’s wave.
