    Stade de France breaks into full voice for Edith Piaf's 'Non, je ne regrette rien'. After turbocharging France to their first gold medal of Paris, Antoine Dupont regrets absolutely nothing about switching to sevens. The perfect soundtrack for a perfect moment #PARIS2024 🎵

    I cannot comprehend how BBC 2 are showing a recycled 2014 episode of Flog It! (which has already been shown 6 times before) on Saturday while England are hidden away on BBC iPlayer. Yes we are grateful etc, but this is the ultimate insult to women's sport
    BBC showing Flog It! rather than Women's Six Nations is a disgrace

    CONFIRMED: England will host the 2025 @rugbyworldcup! A sell-out final at Twickenham is on the cards and the tournament is expected to boost the UK economy by over £156m. Mega.

    England men flew by charter with official partner BA to the 2019 WC in Japan, had a send off & fed high-protein snacks. Tonight England women fly to NZ (not with BA) in economy class & have been told not to post about the journey on social media 🙃
    England women to fly to World Cup in New Zealand on Emirates economy – not official flight partner...

    Exclusive: The RFU has been rocked by legal action over its ban on trans women from female rugby. The challenge - which rugby's gov body vows to 'robustly defend' - is being brought by trans player Julie Curtiss, who is 'distraught' she can no longer play

    Saturday’s England v France women's game on BBC2 attracted a peak TV audience of 700k, a slight dip on last week's game in France (800k). That's a combined audience of 1.91m. Let's not wait another three years for the women's game to be on free-to-air, consistency is key 🔑

    ❌ Seen too many of these lazy graphics floating about from the weekend which have failed to acknowledge: Rocky Clark - 137 caps Sarah Hunter - 130 caps (and counting) Katy Daley-Mclean - 116 caps Tamara Taylor - 115 caps Stop erasing women.

    “Who gives a f*** about women’s rugby?” said a prominent figure in Irish rugby at a president’s dinner last month in Dublin. Players denied protein. 'Horror stories' over selection. A special report on the sexism that pervades @IrishRugby* *in 2023
    Special report: Irish rugby likened to 'old boys club' with sexism commonplace

    Ilona Maher post match was simply excellent ✨✨ "In men’s sports, you have a lot of male fans - especially in rugby - it’s a boy’s club. You have a lot of old men going to their team’s game. Can we get more women in, buying our jerseys? Women have power, women have influence."

    "The only way I can describe this is that it’s like grief. It’s like something has been ripped away.” Big thanks to Alix and Julie for sharing their lived experiences as trans women in rugby - and how they've coped since the RFU's ban
    Trans women in rugby: 'I've been cleaned out by 5ft 4in girls – how can I be dangerous?'

    Exclusive: England women are looking into the possibility of wearing different coloured shorts due to concerns about having to wear white on their periods. A colour change could be coming next year. "It’s something we’ve fed back to Nike," says Beth Mead.

    Dear dinosaurs who groan when the red carpet is rolled out for women’s football, Mary Earps made goalkeeping great again & her Spoty win reflects the country's love-in for women's sport. If you can't stand that, to quote the 👑 herself, politely f*** off
    Finally, female athletes are getting their rightful moment in the spotlight

    How has it taken FIFA a whole FOUR DAYS to start disciplinary proceedings against a guy who sexually assaulted a female player on the biggest stage of all? Their silence this week has been deafening and it's a disgustingly sad indictment of where their priorities lie

    Update on shirt-gate. Harlequins have confirmed the official Big Game jersey was only made in "one fit, for both men's and women's teams by Adidas." Which is a roundabout way of saying 'men's kit' because I can't see Joe Marler fitting into Vickii Cornborough's shirt, IMO (1/5)
