New Zealand won the World Cup final against England on Saturday night. The tournament was a welcome distraction from the problems of the last few years. Women's rugby is exciting and the Black Ferns are lively and fresh. The organisers deserve kudos for their efforts to attract families to the women's game. There were some criticism over the lack of fan zones for those unable to attend the game, but they doubt their absence marred anyone's celebrations. They hope the increased focus will not dampen the infectious enthusiasm of this team. It is contagious. English women’s football team, the Lionesses, danced and sang their way into a media conference after winning the Euro final.
