At the end of last month, a Six Nations game at Twickenham set an attendance world record of almost 58,500 for a women’s rugby match.
Then there was the case of back-to-back Super W champions the Fijiana Drua, who were fed by Brisbane’s rugby community in the lead-up to a crunch match against Queensland, because of the Fiji Rugby Union’s. For a team jointly funded by the Fiji Rugby Union and the Australian government, under the PacificAus Sports soft diplomacy program, it is difficult to accept this happened.
