USA Rugby WCSC letter to BOD 120911 [PDF]
I'm sure I don't have to express to you how important these issues are, not only is this a general disregard for women's rugby across the board, but it is also an injustice for future rugby players. I urge you to pass on your support for gender equity to USA Rugby; the contacts that you can reach out to are below.
Also, please pass this on by using Facebook, Twitter (if you Tweet, please use hash tags #genderequity #usarugby #wrugby, so we can track) etc.
