"Girls Can't Play Rugby" - LooseHeadz
“Girls Can’t Play Rugby”
In the infamous words of Livi Moorbey - “what a stupid thing to say.”
That is why for International Women’s Day this year, we’re championing Livi’s brilliant poem; Girls Love Rugby.
At LooseHeadz, we firmly believe that rugby is a game for all, and that is why we want to continue championing the game at every level, for everyone. We have, in the past, been mistaken as a “men’s mental health charity”, when the reality is that LooseHeadz is for everyone.
This is simple because we believe that rugby truly is a game for all. It doesn’t matter what you look like, where you’re from, who you love, or how (or if) you pray. It doesn’t matter if you’ve played the game for decades or days. It doesn’t matter if you’re eight or eighty. Rugby is home.
And that is why this piece from Livi struck home for us. It’s not simply a token gesture to acknowledge women’s rugby, but an opportunity to challenge stereotypes that have plagued the game, and to promote an area of the game that doesn’t receive the spotlight that it both needs and deserves.
We believe in the power of rugby, and sport in general, to really change the world, and that is why we will continue to promote it at every opportunity.
So please join us in enjoying and sharing Livi’s wonderful poem, with special thanks to our friends at SPC13 for putting this piece together.

you're just objectively, and obviously, wrong. Go away, go be sexist somewhere else, like pluto

@@langdalepaulwhat a moron. Some idiot said his under sixteen team could beat the lionesses. I'd pay good money to watch that. Except it would probably last 30 mins before the kids were taken to hospital
"We are not afraid of tackles" play against Samoa men then we will ask that question again.

What a stupid thing to say. Go talk to all the men that play amateur club rugby. Ask them if they're afraid of tackles. Then try this 'gotcha' on them. Then you might realise how stupid you sound
They can play awesome rugby, it's just not as fascinating to watch as the mens. Sorry.

I agree, it's not as fascinating. It's more fascinating
