Womens RWC 2025

Nowhere in world are average attendance at women's club Rugby enough to justify a professional club competition without massive subsidies from the men's game.
That said, what is becoming popular in England are well-marketed one off events. Harlequins got 18,000 paying fans for a post-Christmas game last year. Last year's women's Premiership final got 10,000 and Ilona Maher's debut for Bristol Bears in January against local rivals Gloucester got 9,000.

think it was a full house.
Apart from all the empty seats.
They hid those quite well. A couple of strips around the outside of each block. And there seemed to be plenty of space in other areas.
Just checked, there were c6,000 empty seats so you’re right. Still a world record for a women’s World Cup game. Pretty good result.

What was the crowd at the final in 2002?
That really did seem like capacity

The effort by the world's best team was appreciated by a record women's rugby test attendance of 42,723, eclipsing by 144 tickets the previous high set at the 2022 World Cup final, where England suffered its only loss in the last six years. The tournament-opening result on Friday was expected

Australia six tries up within half an hour against Samoa. Many of these women RWC pool matches are going to be too one-aided to be interesting.
Yep
Highlights only

The scoreline is quite bizarre. England accuracy just nailing every opportunity and then some.
I just read England made less metres, more tackles and won by 62 points!
