The US has a Women's Rugby League, too!!

This is a .gif that I made of the images on the front of the USA Rugby Women's National Team homepage.
The team runs almost exclusively off of donations and team fund raisers (the men's does not).


From their website:

  • The road to the World Cup 2010 will take determination, sweat, lots of ice baths, and $850,000 in travel, lodging, meals and other expenses.  
  • It’s an uphill and overseas battle. Good thing we have each other to lean on. Including you, too, of course. To help send us off, make a donation.
  • In rugby we sprint, we tackle, we maul, we ruck, we kick, we pass, we scrum. We do this in cycles of continuous play lasting from 5-63 seconds of intensity separated by periods of rest lasting 5-30 seconds.
  • During an 80 minute match, an international flanker may make 25 tackles, hit 46 rucks, drive 22 scrums, and jump in 24 lineouts.
  • The first ever Women’s Rugby World Cup was held in 1991. That year, the USA WNT took its first and only World Cup. Now we WaNT it back.
