Bristol café crochets 100 roses for Women's Rugby World Cup

Volunteers have created over 100 red crocheted roses to display around a city's stadium in preparation for hosting the Women's Rugby World Cup.

The roses will be attached to lampposts near Ashton Gate in Bristol, where England is scheduled to play Scotland in the tournament's quarter-final on Sunday at 16:00 BST.

This initiative is part of a nationwide effort by England Rugby to encourage more women to engage in the sport.

Trish Brown, a player from Bath Rugby Ladies, has been leading the crochet café at St George's Bristol and described it as a delightful activity.

Brown, who serves as the operations director at St George's Bristol, mentioned that England Rugby has supported the café by supplying yarn for free.

The crocheted roses will be distributed to schools and various areas of the Bristol Bears Community foundation at a later stage.

England's Tatyana Heard and Abby Dow have previously shared with BBC Sport their passion for crochet and how it aids them during the world cup.

This crocheting project is part of a national campaign to motivate more women and girls to participate in rugby.
