"The strategy, called Every Rose: Our Time, includes the goal of becoming the first England team to win back-to-back Rugby World Cups, and getting 100,000 women and girls playing the game across the country by 2030, up from the 60,000 who participate now. English rugby's governing body is also aiming to double its revenues from the women's game to 60m so it can invest more in the grassroots, and to have 3 million Red Roses fans."
"The opportunity has never been greater, but sitting still is not an option because the wheels are now fully in motion. Together, we'll be the nation that reaches 100,000 active players with 70,000 of them registered and thriving in our brilliant clubs. That becomes back-to-back world champions a historic first for England on the world stage. That inspires 3 million passionate Red Roses fans who are united in pride and purpose. And that generates over 60m in revenue powering a future where meaningful profits are fuelling the growth of the community game."
England's Rugby Football Union has launched a five-year strategy, Every Rose: Our Time, aiming to convert recent World Cup momentum into sustained growth. Targets include 100,000 women and girls playing by 2030 (up from 60,000), 70,000 registered club players, and 3 million Red Roses fans. The RFU aims to double women's game revenues to 60m to fund grassroots development and ambitions to become back-to-back Rugby World Cup champions. Leaders cite the 82,000 attendance at the Allianz Stadium final as evidence of growing support. The plan emphasizes continued investment and active measures to make clubs welcoming and thriving.
