After 57 Years, Women Finally Take Over the Cover of U.K.'s Rugby World Magazine

Women's World Cup is set for Dublin and Belfast Aug. 9-26

There was a cover in 2002 featuring England Women’s captain Paula George alongside Lawrence Dallaglio. But the September issue of Rugby World, out today, marks the first time since the U.K. publication launched in 1960 that its cover is dominated by female practitioners of the sport.

Pictured ahead of the Women’s Rugby World Cup in Ireland are England’s Emily Scarratt, Ireland’s Niamh Briggs, New Zealand’s Portia Woodman and Canada’s Magali Harvey.
