Termine » t.Plouffe had a DL stint earlier this season

The Rugby Football Union has revealed plans to double the number of women playing rugby in England.As England prepare to defend the womens Rugby World Cup next year the RFU want to increase the number of women playing the sport from the present 25,000 to 50,000 by 2021.The organisation also wants to double the number of womens fixtures being played, to increase the number of teams by 75 per cent to over 800, and to increase the number of active womens clubs to over 400.It has also targeted increasing the number of coaches and referees in the womens game with the ambition that at least 50 per cent of them will be female.The more people who play, the more women who play, the more we get improvement and growth into the elite game, said RFU chief executive Ian Ritchie.Womens rugby is growing year on year, and what we want to do is to is support that growth, that development, at the community, local and elite level.Team GBs women reached the semi-finals of the rugby sevens at the Rio Olympics where they were beaten 25-7 by New Zealand and went on to lose the bronze medal match against Canada 33-10.Those of us lucky enough to go to the Olympics saw sevens, and womens sevens, displayed on a global stage, bringing womens rugby to a broader environment, said Ritchie. Were very proud of everything we achieved at the Olympics.Its our shop window. The impact of winning the womens World Cup last time round has added a stimulus to this. What were about is trying to make sure we do it again.Weve invested about ￡20million in the last four years into womens rugby.Retaining the World Cup in Dublin next year is a huge priority, and thats why weve now introduced 48 professional contracts for women rugby players [as announced in July].In September 2014, the RFU targeted increasing the number of females playing contact rugby from 15,000 to 25,000 by June 2017, and they have already done so.They will also market the England womens team as the Red Roses.

MINNEAPOLIS -- The Minnesota Twins have placed third baseman Trevor Plouffe on the disabled list due to a broken left rib that will likely keep him out at least a month.Plouffe was hit by a pitch Wednesday at Chicago and played the next two games, even going 3 for 4 with a home run Friday against Texas. The pain flared up over the weekend, though, and he was scratched from the lineup Sunday.The move was made Monday before the Twins hosted Oakland, and first baseman Kennys Vargas was recalled from Triple-A Rochester to fill in.Another tough blow for Trevor, manager Paul Molitor said. Hes had a frustrating year in terms of getting hurt, getting healthy, getting hurt.Plouffe had a DL stint earlier this season for a strained muscle on his right side. He missed two games last week because of a strained right groin muscle.Just kind of battling throughout the year, playing at 65 to 70 percent, just trying to get through it, Plouffe said. And I would love to continue to do that, man, but this is a little bit too much.Plouffe was told hell probably need four weeks before he can swing again.I feel like I could probably beat that, Plouffe said. I typically come back quicker than they preedict, so well see.ddddddddddddAt least the rest of his body ought to be able to fully heal while hes resting the rib.Got to find a silver lining, man, he said.The silver lining for the Twins is making it easy for Molitor to put Miguel Sano at third base every day, rather than move him to designated hitter when Plouffe was in the field. Vargas, who hit .235 with 14 home runs and 53 RBI in 82 games for the Red Wings, will see some action at DH in the meantime.The Twins kept the arbitration-eligible Plouffe for $7.25 million, after he batted .244 with 22 home runs, 35 doubles and a career-high 86 RBI last season. That prompted them to play Sano out of position in right field, an experiment that recently ended when he returned from the DL.Given their majors-worst 27-54 record at the 81-game midpoint of the schedule, the Twins are certain to try to trade some of their veterans this month before the non-waiver deadline. The injury to Plouffe has reduced his value, though.I dont know whats going to happen with that now, Plouffe said. I guess I never knew.
