• I thought the women’s game against Sri Lanka was borderline dangerous, such was the gulf in ability, physicality and power. It’s great to see these non-traditional rugby playing nations taking part and I applaud them for it but it has to be safe.

  Rugby is the national sport of Sri Lanka
  And - they have a professional 15s league.

  I had to look this up as I assumed it was always cricket..however, apparently the Sri Lankan ministry of sport have named their national sport as Volleyball!

• Yes. You are correct. It is volleyball. (I was sure it was rugby).
  I know that rugby is one of the main sports though. Maybe it is a summer/winter thing.
