Allianz PWR Announce the Powered Differently Campaign!

A new era for women’s rugby kicks off on Saturday afternoon as the inaugural Allianz Premiership Women’s Rugby campaign gets underway with The Takeoff.

Four matches will get the ball rolling as the biggest stars in women’s rugby face off weekly in the hope of being crowned the best team in England.

This year sees two new sides enter the fray as both Trailfinders Women and Leicester Tigers play their first league games on the opening weekend.

Each open their account at home, with Trailfinders Women taking on Harlequins in a London derby on Saturday.

“It’s going to be everything,” Trailfinders fly-half Julia Schell said.

“It’s such an exciting time in women’s rugby in general, but also to be starting with a new club in PWR is such a cool experience.

“I haven’t played in PWR before, so getting to lead that legacy with the whole team is half the excitement, aside from all the amazing rugby we’re going to play this year.”
