“The guys in my team were accepting. They had to be, I scored all the tries.”

Sorry if anyone thinks these Dee Why stories are dominating things a bit of late, but I think they are excellent - and its nice to have something positive about the game when every day brings more cries of woe about the latest initiative in this country.

The latest article shows how far things have come as it reports on what a girl - Lydal Nuss - who wanted to play rugby 30 years ago had to go through. It may be a tale from Australia, but chances are that the same thing would have been experienced over here as well. It shows - fortunately - how much attitudes can change (though there is still room for things to improve!)

However the best bit of it had to be the quote (above). Its brilliant. Made me smile!
