Rugby is a growing sport in the United States today, especially for girls and women.

Gustaitis and McCravey, like most teammates, are athletes at other sports colleges and later found rugby.

They are passionate about breaking the stereotype of the word “graceful”, breaking down barriers and winning the first Olympic medal in sports in Tokyo.

Rugby women are very likely to be American darlings at the Tokyo Olympics. But when it’s time to compete and get the money, they won’t be loved ones about it.
