on 19 Mar 2017 10:36Take a look at Rachael Burford's instagram account - blood pouring from a wound that needed 10 stitches (and she went off, got stitched up and came back on)
Now, watch Leicester v Sevilla and enjoy Jamie Vardy recoiling as if he has been hit by a sack of potatos when in fact he received the merest tap on the forehead.
Which of Burford or Vardy represent the best values in sport I wonder ! -

on 18 Mar 2017 19:23I have really enjoyed watching the Women's Six Nations. It's much better than women's football. Hopefully the World Cup will get good coverage.

on 18 Mar 2017 13:29What a wonderful achievement by the England team.
For the bigots: Each of the women in this successful, skilful team has got there _despite_ the general prevailing view that 'nobody is interested'. They are the best in Europe. They've won the World Cup. They play at their level whether you care to watch or not. Do you object to the headlines because the internet is somehow "full" ? -

on 18 Mar 2017 13:21I'm not a lover of any sport of any kind but what I can't understand is why women's sport, despite they tend to play well and win, we never see any matches unless it's tennis. Time to give the 'girls' more air time

on 18 Mar 2017 12:39Fantastic! Well deserved! Living in France I only got the chance to watch England ladies v France and you were superb in the 2nd half.
The U20s have also been superb!
Let's hope the men can make it a treble Slam! Must be a first? -

on 18 Mar 2017 12:34First off well done, great set of results.... Second, can someone explain how they got 27 points? 5x4 points for wins, 4 x 1 BP for more than 4 tries... 24 points.....

on 18 Mar 2017 12:02I see the wendyball mysoginists are out in force with their usual,"why are the BBC forcing this down our throats" rubbish.
There are around 30 articles on the sport homepage, 2 of those are about women in sport. If you're not interested, don't click on it or is that a little too complicated for your Neanderthal minds.
Congratulations ladies on a great achievement. -

on 18 Mar 2017 11:49@191 The short answer is yes it was! The longer answer involves social mores of many religions and cultures, the relative 'youth' of the womens game and the cutback in school sport. Other than that you're right; it was an elitist, discriminatory team. Bye!

on 18 Mar 2017 11:48Well played England, hopefully the men can match what you did and get the slam. I think there should be more respect for Women's rugby but it didn't help when the BBC congratulated Rochelle Clark on breaking Jason Leonard's cap record. For god's sake there are 2 different sports and disrespecting Leonard just gave ammo to the the anti Women brigade

on 18 Mar 2017 11:41Brilliant performance by England's women and an entertaining game. To the people posting idiotic negative comments here - what's wrong with you? It's a different game to the men's but no less entertaining and no less interesting to watch. You're not sports fans, you're just sexists.

on 18 Mar 2017 11:21Was the team representative of our inclusive multicultural society, with women from all backgrounds and religions?
Thought not.
Why not, any thoughts BBC?
