I used to coach high school rugby. Our team was all boys but some of their sisters/cousins/girl friends wanted to play too so we started a women's 7s team. I've played rugby all my life in several different countries, and the first women's 7s tournament we attended was one of the most physical events I've ever seen. And it wasn't some kind of unhinged violence, they just had zero regard for their own bodies and went into every contact at 150%.
