The RFU will provide free sanitary products at over 500 clubs across England in a bid to increase female participation in rugby.
Sanitary products will be provided at more than 500 rugby clubs across England in an effort to boost female participation in the sport.
A women's health toolkit has also been introduced under the 'Every Rose' strategy, which aims to have more than 100,000 women and girls playing the sport by 2027. "As part of the initiative, more than 300 packages have already been delivered to clubs nationwide, with circa 1,000 sanitary products being installed at clubs up and down the country," the RFU said in a statement.
England captain Marlie Packer said: "I think clubs offering these facilities makes rugby more inclusive. Just the simple things of sanitary bins, I know that sounds a bit stupid, but we never used to see them in the clubs’ toilets and changing rooms.
