Rugby is still scary. Especially when it comes to parents enrolling their daughter. The oval ball would not be made for the female sex, which is still collapsing under the weight of stereotypes. This is the result of a study carried out by the Kantar Institute and revealed by Foncia at the end of March, ahead of a Racing 92 meeting at the Paris-La Défense Arena.

A very popular sport in France, rugby wants to ride the momentum of the 2023 World Cup to gain a number of licensees. With 324,000 licenses, it is only the 10th discipline. And women make up only 10% of this total. The target announced by Florian Grill, president of the French Rugby Union, before the World Cup was a growth of 20% in the short term with, as the first target, girls.
