This is an incorrect choice. Rupert never makes any statements about who should be allowed to attend rugby matches. He actually says that more and more women attending rugby matches "can only be a good thing", meaning he is very happy about it!
This is a correct choice. Rupert says, "more and more women are attending the matches", meaning that rugby is becoming more popular with women than it has been in the past. The verb "to attend" means "to participate in (an event)" or "to assist (an event)".
This is an incorrect choice. In fact, Rupert begins this report by asking the rugby fan "why do rugby fans have such a spirit of fair-play?" He is in fact asking why the fans have such a high degree of "fair-play". Both Rupert and the rugby fan agree that rugby fans respect the rules and behave well at rugby matches.
This is an incorrect choice. There is no indication that Rupert thinks rugby is "on the decline", or doing increasingly worse. In fact, he notes that rugby is a sport "on the rise", meaning that it is becoming more and more popular.
