Rahul Bose Hails Indian Women Rugby Team
Filmmaker and actor Rahul Bose hails India Rugby Team for winning big at Asia Women’s Division 1 Rugby XVs Championship.
An awe-inspiring feat by a team formed barely a year ago, India, with its 15-member women’s rugby team, registered its first international victory.
Rahul Bose took to his social media profile and praised the girls for bagging an International win. He tweeted, “This is the most heartening news to read! Well done #TeamIndia women! You always had it in you! Let nothing stop you. We will do everything possible to help you onward and upward! @asiarugby”
In a hotly-contested match versus higher-ranked Singapore in the Asia Women’s Division 1 Rugby XVs Championship fixture at Manila on June 22, India emerged victorious with a 21-19 score, thanks to a sublime final penalty converted by the team’s 19-year-old scrum-half Sumitra Nayak.
A video of a member of the staff congratulating (and consoling) a player who had dissolved into happy tears has now gone viral.
