If it wasn’t for a chance encounter at a law school party, Phaidra Knight might never have found rugby. The basketball player bumped was planning on continuing her career on the court, but through a random rugby encounter, she was encouraged to check out the women’s rugby team; after finding herself near the team during a practice one day, she was hooked. A lifelong football fan, Phaidra loved the opportunity to tackle and strategize, and quickly left behind hoops for the rugby pitch. 

After playing competitive rugby for several years, with detours into strongman, bobsledding and Crossfit, Knight has her sights set on 2016 and thinks that women’s rugby is poised to explode in the United States -- after all, rugby is the second most popular sport in the world after soccer. To help fund her training goals, which include working with elite coaches and nutritionists, Phaidra is calling on rugby fans to help her raise funds. Please see below for a detailed outline of contribution levels and rewards, and give generously. When women’s rugby is the hottest sport around, you’ll be able to say you supported it since the start!
