As one of the largest rugby brands in the world Canterbury should be advocating and pushing for equality, instead it seems to have missed the mark.

Some thoughts from a women’s rugby coach:

As one of the largest rugby brands in the world, something as obvious as using both male and female international players to promote your national team-wear should be a given and pledging to do so after the fact

Although Canterbury reiterated their support for gender equality, the lack of uniformity when it comes to something as basic as stocking women's rugby cut and compression shorts is worrying.

We as a club support equality in all sports, and especially of that in Rugby. With women's participation in rugby increasing by 28% between 2017 and 2019, it is fast on its way to becoming one of the most popular team sports for women.
