(Reuters) -The Rugby Football Union unveiled a five-year action plan on Monday that aims to build on the success of the 2025 Women's World Cup, which England won on home soil last month, to grow the sport among women and girls in the country.

The action plan, called "Every Rose: Our Time," looks to grow participation in women's rugby to 100,000 active players in the country, increase revenue and help the Red Roses retain their world title in 2029, the RFU said in a statement.
