Wellington Rugby Union not respecting women's game - ex-coach

From Morning Report, 6:12 am on 22 November 2018

A former coach says the Wellington Rugby Union has no respect for its women's rugby programme. Dave Jensen coached the top Wellington Women's rugby team, Pride, for three seasons up until last year. He says it was often difficult getting access to good training facilities and resources - and there was little effort from the union to promote his team fixtures. But Wellington Rugby Union chief executive, Will Caccia-Birch (car-see-a birch), told our reporter Te Aniwa Hurihanganui inequities no longer exist between the men and women's provincial sides.
