It’s been widely reported that England will be travelling to Japan by business class, while their opponents will be flying economy. This is despite the fact that Rugby World Cup organisers have stipulated that all teams must travel in economy.

So why is England’s second-class treatment unacceptable?

For a start, it sends out the wrong message. Rugby is a team sport, and by flying business class while their opponents fly economy, England are sending out the message that they’re above the rest.

It’s also unfair on the players. Rugby is a physically demanding sport, and flying economy can be tough on the body. By travelling in business class, England’s players will be able to rest and recover better, giving them an unfair advantage over their opponents.

Finally, it’s disrespectful to the Rugby World Cup organisers. Despite the fact that they have stipulated that all teams must travel in economy, England are choosing to ignore this and fly business class. This is a blatant show of disrespect for the organisers and sets a bad precedent for future Rugby World Cups.

England’s second-class treatment is unacceptable for all of these reasons. Hopefully the team will reconsider their decision and travel in economy like the rest of the teams.

Why are the women’s team not treated equally to the men’s? What does this say about how Rugby World Rugby values its female athletes?

It is simply unacceptable that the England women’s rugby team was forced to fly economy while the men’s team flew business. This is a clear case of discrimination and it sends a message that Rugby World Rugby does not value its female athletes equally to its male athletes.

This is an issue that needs to be addressed immediately. Rugby World must take steps to ensure that all of its teams are treated equally, regardless of gender. Only then will it be able to truly claim that it is committed to gender equality.
