Thankfully, after many years of hoping, a new website has been launched specifically for the promotion of women's rugby.
While there are plenty of websites dedicated to rugby, and in fairness most of the home unions have a dedicated section on their own sites to their national women's team, a target-specific site has been sadly lacking.
Those looking for information on the top-end of the women's game have been lucky to find the odd snippet buried at the back of some of the major sites.
But fear not anymore, for http://www.scrumqueens.com/ is here. With editor Alison Donnelly at the helm, the site - launched this week - looks very promising and professional.
And I guess a bit of harmless self publication won't do any harm as yours truly is contributing to the site via the medium of the blog.
With the Women's World Cup taking place in London from August next year, an exciting season lays ahead for the sport and I am sure everything you could possibly want to know about international women's rugby will be covered by scrumqueens.
I know Alison has some great interviews and features lined up with coaches/players/administrators and, yes, referees, from the top-end of the game - so it bodes well for the future of the sport on the web.
Take a look and see what you think!

Well done, Alison! This is an incredible progress for promoting rugby to women of all ages. Now, women have a specific venue to look for information about the sport. Similarly, the women's rugby league here in my city is advocating for the promotion of the sport to women. In addition to holding rugby festivals, they are also encouraging young girls to join and play rugby games with kids around their age.
Thanks for sharing. More power to your blog!
