Considering the bigger picture with Counteruck, the new culture of rugby

THE THINK PIECE

LET ME tell you how we roll at Counteruck Rugby. We're all about the players and their personality shining a light on those playing the best team sport in the world.

We love to embrace the stars and recently it seems rugby has begun to do the same thing. Normally, players arrive at games in their club or country uniform, complete with an anthem jacket and tracksuit bottoms. However, things have started to change, with Bristol's women starting a bit of a trend.

The Bears, who found themselves at the centre of the rugby world during Ilona Maher's stint at the club, arrived in style for their PWR game against Loughborough Lightning.
