Inspiring video that cannot hide the truth

The IRB's continued bid for Olympic status continues with this video:


Impressive stuff - shame that it rather skates over the truth. I won't go into too much detail as I covered this last month but the IRB's desperation to get into the Games could be an opportunity for the women's game. It just needs someone from women's rugby to stand up to their Union or the IRB and point out to them that, until the game starts matching its fine words with actions (and that will just be a start), there is no chance for rugby to join the world's greatest sporting festival.

My concern is that too many women's rugby administrators seem to be too easily pleased by whatever scraps their union or the IRB allow to drop from the table. The Olympic bid gives them a stick to wield... should they have the courage to use it!
