New Zealand Rugby has apologised for a misjudged social media post made on International Women’s Day, after it was accused of side-lining female players.

The governing body tweeted the message: "Forever grateful to all the women in our lives that allow us to play the game we love.” It was accompanied by pictures of male players with female family members.
