I'm surprised the decision was so close. The pictures of the Welsh player tackling opposition players showed clearly the difference in size and weight.

Well that's good.

Idiotic that males were ever allowed on the women's team in the first place, but hey ho.

Well done RFU. This is the correct decision to secure the integrity of women's sport.

But it was quite a close vote though. 33 in favour 26 against and 2 abstain

Excellent news.

I'm glad. And relieved that no woman has been seriously injured before this rule was brought in.

I hope that this display of attention to the scientific evidence and the issue of fairness to women is enough to persuade some other sports associations that they need to reconsider some of their positions and practices.
