Zoe Harrison speaks about the future of Rugby World Cup.
The Rugby World Cup was one of Zoe’s first experiences playing at a major international tournament. She admitted that despite the heartbreaking result, she felt privileged to have been part of it. Zoe believes that rugby will continue to rise in popularity around the world as more nations become involved with the sport.
However, Zoe Harrison believes that now is the time to look ahead and focus on how rugby can build from the success of this year’s competition. She said: “I think it’s important that we use this as a platform for the future of women’s rugby for years to come - both in New Zealand and around the world.
We need to use this as an opportunity to grow and broaden our reach, so that more young girls can see the game as a viable career path for them.” Harrison believes that Rugby World Cup offers many advantages for female players, including greater recognition and improved education and support systems.
Zoe also suggested that the amount of investment in the game would help to grow it further, and that it was essential for England to stay competitive. She believes that if more countries join the rugby community, such as China, then this will only benefit the tournament and its future success.
Finally Zoe expressed her excitement for the next Rugby World Cup, hopeful that England will be able to perform better and improve on the disappointing result of the last competition. Zoe hopes that the tournament will continue to grow in popularity, providing more opportunities for upcoming players from all over the world. It is clear Zoe is passionate about rugby and its future.
With Zoe’s words of encouragement and the increasing popularity of rugby, there is no doubt the future of Rugby World Cup will be a bright one.
