Gay Rugby: ‘Bingham Cup’ draws world of teams to Dublin including Washington Renegades
”In terms of the game and the rules, there is absolutely nothing different between the rugby teams, and in terms of the standards of the sides, these can be very high in teams playing in the upper leagues…. Certain people just feel happier playing in circumstances where they won’t be discriminated against.”
