Women’s rugby in England is way ahead, and the RFU deserves credit

The RFU has agreed a landmark commercial deal with England's World Cup-winning women's team, the Red Roses, which will run through to the end of the decade. The agreement was brokered in part by Team Rugby England, a commercial body whose directors include players Ellis Genge, Maro Itoje, and Anthony Watson. The deal coincides with this weekend's Premiership Women's Rugby final and has been praised as a world-leading initiative for women's rugby.
