Should Girls Play Rugby

Drenna Falaniko

First can I please see a show of hands on who thinks girls should play rugby…….. and another show of hands on who thinks girls should not play rugby…….

Today i'm going to be talking to you about my point of view why girls should play rugby, my opinion about rugby is that we need girls to play so that we can have more all girls teams. I would like to have a all girls teams to be more noticed because girls do have the skills to play the game.

There is no reason why girls can't play, its just peoples opinions that stop girls from playing. Girls who have a passion for such a rough sport should be able to play the game. The game isn’t just for boys, it’s a game for everyone.

One reason why girls should play rugby is that they can get a career out of it. Did you see the 7s women's win the Olympics, well i mean came second. All those girls probably played in a all boys team and stacked with it and became a professional player. That’s pretty cool.

Girls can be as strong and as fast as boys are at playing rugby. Rugby can be dangerous to girls, but it can also be dangerous to boys as well.

Girls and boys can play anything they want, for example boys can play netball so girls can play rugby. Just because girls are a different gender to boys doesn't mean they have a less of a chance to play.  

I believe that it shouldn't be a problem for a girl to play rugby because most likely there's a girl somewhere that is much better than the boys. But we'll never know unless we give all of the girls the same chance as the boys.

I myself play rugby and would encourage more girls to play, because it’s a really fun sport and you can let all your stress and anger out on other people.

So in conclusion, girls have the right to play rugby - it’s not a sport just for boys, it is a sport for everyone.

Girls can do anything they want!
