Thanks for doing this. I love rugby, am a massive fan of England (I'm English), and definitely want to see more women playing.

I have a series of random questions I've just thought of - please feel free to pick & choose if you don't want to answer all of them.

1. Are there any differences at all re: rules vs the male version? For reasons of physicality or any other
2. What position do you play? Edit: Seen you're a No. 8 in a later comment
3. Do the physiques follow the male version? Larger, more stout forwards, for example.
4. In your view, what needs to happen to increase popularity of the sport with women to play & watch?
5. What made you get into the sport?
6. What is your training regime?
7. Which rule do you least like in Union, currently?
8. Is there a rule you think needs to be introduced to Union?
9. Do you think the addition of replays to determine tries scored that the referee is unsure about have improved the game? (I do)
10. What's your view of League? (I've never really seen the appeal, but can't deny its popularity)

Thanks for doing this AMA & keep it up! Living in the UK is so dominated by football, which I'm no fan of, so the more we can increase rugby's popularity, the better!

As long as there's no Hershey's. Bleurgh. That stuff tastes like soap, it's weird.

I think it's as much that I'm from the UK so used to Cadbury chocolate. That's the flavour of chocolate to me. Anything different just tastes weird. Probably the same for Hershey's eaters that try Cadbury.

Brilliant - thanks for taking the time to answer. I like your idea re reducing the points for penalties and conversions. I prefer a running game and could see your idea actually helping to make that the more appealing way to play.

Is there any incentive for a manager to treat his/her employees well?

This question is nuts. I've been a manager for over 12 years. Your job is to hire good people and get the best out of them. Largely, that has a lot to do with their happiness, giving them the best platform to do their best work.

Granted, certainly (sadly), not every business or manager does this. But the very question surprises me.
