Summary: "When Iranian men see a rugby ball they joke that it's either a melon or a dinosaur egg. And the idea that women chase after one on a sports field is for them simply absurd. The Islamic Federation of Women's Sports have their work cut out trying to promote female sport in a society headed by Iran's conservative president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. However, the country's rugby federation is doing its best to open the sport up to women, who are really keen to play"--Publisher's website.
