"BREAKING NEWS. Another sport says no to males in women’s teams. Two years after the World Rugby ruling, England Rugby Union now joins the growing list of sports reverting to sex categories."

Thank you FPFW for your tireless work on this. Why the RFU has taken so long to see the bleeding obvious (mixed sex adults rugby. What could possibly go wrong!) is another matter.

Or captaining the men's England rugby team!

Can’t believe it but Rugby league have also made the same ruling tonight, excellent day for women’s sport

Absolutely agree.

From what I've read, the view seems to be that as the professional male players have got bigger and better trained, they've been able to do more damage to each other and that's why early onset dementia is such a ticking time bomb in rugby now. Obviously rugby as a sport is potentially looking at very significant financial implications because of that. The prospect of having to explain to insurers, courts, enquiries why adult males were allowed to play with females and fold them like deckchairs, a few years down the line, is not going to be an enticing one. It's harder to be in denial about that now than it might have been a couple of years back.
