    De Montfort University's research, working in conjunction with the World Rugby Museum at Twickenham, will also chart the growth of the women’s game from its emergence in universities in the 1960s and 70s.

    "The story of women and rugby has been hidden from history," Professor Tony Collins said.

    "Women have played a huge part in the sport, whether it is playing the game, organising it or supporting it. But nobody has carried out this research before.

    "We will start with a blank page. This research is hugely important to the study of the development of the sport."

    Interestingly as well, Leicester Polytechnic's team was one of the founder members of the Women's Rugby Football Union in 1983.
