Some facts:
"Some 100,000 females are projected to be playing the game in England by 2027."
How many are playing in the USA?
Estimates are difficult to find. One source estimates over 20,000.
Over 66,000 fans were in the stands for the opening game of the women's Olympic 7's games in France.
Just this past winter, over 58,000 fans attended the Six Nations decider between England and France.
The game is growing globally both professionally and at the grassroots levels.
Things are building: The USA is hosting the 2031 Women's Rugby World Cup and the Men's World Cup in 2033.
