Welcome to the top women's rugby stories for Jan 11-17! We start with the announcement that the women's Six Nations will be pushed and won't take place this spring. The news was met with derision on social media (mostly from men) commenting "who cares" or "I don't care". We've joined Bristol Bear Stef Evans' #icare campaign online and we urge you to as well.
Questions are beginning to surface around the 2020 Olympics as the virus rages in Japan. The delay of the women's Six Nations piles even more challenges on to the 2021 Rugby World Cup. This begs the question if we can have these events SHOULD we?
Allianz Premier 15s pauses for at least two weeks due to the National Lockdown in the UK and they hint that they are looking at bringing in testing upon their return.
We've asked all the divisions in the US where they are at with return to play (WPL, Club and College). Hint, nobody is confident that we will have rugby this spring.
And we wrap it up with two player features this week and four media.
