The Letchworth Girls' Rugby 'blog originally contained news and information about girls' rugby section based at Letchworth Garden City RUFC between 2004 and 2010, but these days is mainly a source of information, discussion and speculation about women's and girls' rugby in England and overseas.
Though the girls have moved on the blog continues in order to preserve and honour the memories of the greatest bunch of young people to have ever played the game (IMHO!). It is aimed at players past and present, as well as anyone else interested in women's rugby who might be trying to make sense of what on earth is going on, even if that meant going to an unofficial and uncensored source of speculation, debate and discussion about the game.
It has no official connection with any girls' or women's teams currently representing Letchworth GC RUFC is NOT an official website within the meaning of RFU Regulation 5.

Does the IRB ruling on leggings being banned apply to the girls game?
ReplyDeleteWe get reminded weekly by the refs' society that these are not to be tolerated.

Re : RugbyRefs forum on leggings.
ReplyDeleteI have no intention of pursuing a debate on this subject in an area about a junior girls match! Suffice to say that reading the forum left me in no doubt that the issue was far from resolved. Furthermore, looking at the IRB rules and regulations, I found no evidence to support a view that leggings are banned. Quite the reverse, in fact.
Anyway, the referee of the match - the sole judge of fact - allowed both teams to have some players in leggings. And good for him, say I.
