The motion

That the Parliament welcomes the launch of the Scottish Rugby Women and Girls’ Strategy 2022-2026; understands that the strategy is designed to grow participation and representation in rugby on and off the pitch and increase the visibility of women’s rugby nationwide; notes that, endorsing the strategy, the Scottish Rugby Board has agreed to an additional investment of up to £2.5 million covering the first year of the strategy, which will be invested in all areas of the pathway, taking the total women and girls’ funding up to £4.1 million which, it believes, is more than double the previous year’s allocation; welcomes Scottish Rugby’s commitment towards professionalising the women’s game by committing to a minimum of 30 contracted female rugby players following on from the Rugby World Cup, and wishes players and staff well in the implementation of this strategy.
