Heriot’s Blues Women are contributing to raising expectations for the performance of women’s rugby in Scotland. Fixtures have been announced by SRU showing the promotion of the Heriot’s Blues Women to the Premiership.
Having started the Women’s team in just 2018, under the guidance of Women’s Director of Rugby Rhona Hume and Head Coach Ruth Slaven-Ross, this team have gone and nailed it.
Both coaches are former Scotland players who mirror the values of Heriot’s Rugby Club, with their inclusiveness and positive training to develop independent rugby players. They take this forward in their coaching bringing a great balance to the club. They have a shared vision of developing pathways for girls in the sport as well as growing a 2nd XV team.
‘‘We have been so impressed with the standards across the premiership and cannot wait to add our efforts as a team and a club to continue the growth of the women’s game in Scotland’ Rhona said.
‘‘We are really excited about the opportunity the premiership will bring us all. We are a young team, we only formed in 2018, and we can’t wait to get started in the new season. This is exactly what we, as a team, have been working towards. Our goal now is to continue developing our players throughout the season to get the desired results.’’ Ruth said.
