So it's not really 'Women playing rugby/hockey' in the way that it is 'Women riding horses'
However the IOC have some pretty complex rules about who can and cannot compete in women's events. All to do with levels of testosterone over a period of time.

Could most men play in an international women's team without modification, if they were good enough?

The Girls done well.
Re: the hockey
I remember when I last took a fleeting interest in hockey that there were differences between the male and female games. Have those variations now been eliminated? That was probably at school level mind you, maybe it was always the same at senior level.Gerald the Mole wrote:BR, what’s that got to do with my original post?

Something about hitting the ball in the air? Can't remember.

I have vague memories of 100,000 teenage girls screaming at Wembley in the 70s for an annual hockey match on World of Sport just before the wrassling. Did I dream that? World of Sport was great. ITV seven interspersed with Speedway, Canadian lumberjack championships and Mexican cliff diving. Feck, the BBC sports department would kill for entertainment of that quality these days.
Also watched a bit at th'Olympics (1984/1988?). Irish boy called Shan Curlie or was he one of the Harlem Globetrotters?
Fair dues to the Irish girls, but as sports go, it's a hard watch.
I assume the Dutch are going to win?

That wasn't specified. There is some lad with a camera who basically invented women's hockey, he might know.big mervyn wrote: Live live or Clive live?

Dave put me down for zero, men or weemin, maybe saw a minute or two on the bax, never a match. I'm assuming Hockey on Ice doesn't count, I've seen 4/5 of those as a favour to a friend, reluctantly, even got myself hospitalised to miss one.
NEVER MOVE ON. Years on, I cannot ever watch Ireland with anything but indifference, I continue to wish for the imminent death of Donal Spring, the FIRFUC's executioner of Wee Paddy & Wee Stu, and I hate the FIRFUCs with undiminished passion.

Re: the hockey
Fantastic result for the Irish girls last night coupled with an English defeat later on to boot .....
Yes poor game but if they get final pass linked then it augers well Vs the Spanyards ....them 8 sec penalty runs are sum drama along with " video referral of video referrals...! " .....even the last goal crossing line with 0.4 sec on clock
....OH and what a great swansong for our wee Shirley .
