There is no equality between men and women in rugby in France.

The French male team can play in the stadium of Saint- Denis where the grass in the field is green and very beautiful.

The female French team plays in the stadium of Marcoussis, the field is not very good compared to that of Saint Denis and there are not many seats.

According to me, rugby is FOR EVERYONE : girls AND boys alike.

The men's team of France is famous. You can see them a lot on TV whereas the women's team of France is never shown on TV or represented in the media. It is unfair because it deserves to be known just as much as men and boys. Men teams are often broadcast on national channels like TF1 whereas girls teams are only shown on cable channels like Eurosport.

I'm talking about how it's happening in France but this happens in all countries where there are national female rugby teams. You must think that there are not a lot of girl who play rugby very well but it's not true ! I play in a selection and we are 62 in Aude and Hérault so I imagine that there are plenty of other girls that are very good at rugby all over the world !!

I'm a girl and I play rugby !!!

I play rugby in GAOBS which is in Bize Minervois (a small village in the South of France).

I'm a girl and I measure 1m70 for 40kg so I'm not really strong but I play rugby as a winger on the 2 sides of the field. I'm not very strong but my team scores all its tries.
