Why be selective and only look at football and rugby ? Should press ahead with all sports - possibly starting with the Olympics…..:shrug:

Philosophically yes, but it’s too radical……..…the physical aspects won’t and can’t be equalised. Any top WSL striker trying to head a corner would be easily cleaned out by a L2 CB every single time because the CB will be 6” taller and 30kg heavier, women can’t sprint as fast (fact) etc etc. You...
