In the crowd at Eng v Ire on Sunday will be around 400 women who've played for Eng or at regional level & who will be recognised on the day. Included are members of the '94 World Cup winning team & the family of one of the coaches Steve Jew who sadly passed away recently. Lovely.

Big retirement news today with Rocky Clark deciding to hang up her test boots. To become the world’s most capped women’s player with 137 international appearance means her legendary status rather speaks for itself. Not sure we’ll see another like her. Kudos 👊🏻

NEW: Scotland will offer 30 players contracts after the World Cup as part of new investment & a new strategy. They are also investing in 2 semi pro teams. No huge info on that but understood to be prep for a Welsh/Irish/Scot regional competition. ✍️

This year's @Womens6Nations seems rather cursed. Weather and Corona-virus fears postpone two games; players speaking out about poor facilities and ridiculous scheduling making following all games almost impossible. Case for change never clearer.

World Rugby's powerful Executive Committee currently has a vacancy, following Gareth Davies' departure. Of 11 current members, 10 are men. We understand numerous women are entering the race to replace him. Look forward to hearing more in the coming days about the next steps.

It's hard to imagine many other walks of life where someone could be hired to take on a successful programme, oversee it fail miserably and then publicly blame the people beneath them (in this case mostly amateur players) for its failure and have their company protect them.

Your regular reminder that those in charge at the IRFU think that the women's game is lucky to get what it's getting & so it's highly doubtful anything will change as a result of this.

Disgusting. Jamie Cudmore, assistant coach to Canada's men's team, mocking the national women's 7s and joking about their allegations of harassment and bullying. What are @RugbyCanada going to do about this?

The crowd of 18, 604 fans who watched France v Wales in Grenoble today is a new attendance record for the Women's Six Nations - but it will only last a week!

Are the 7 NZ women's players who have also done this not players on the planet? (Linda Itunu, Sarah Goss, Kelly Brazier, Portia Woodman, Selica Winiata, Renee Wickcliffe & Huriana Manuel... ) May seem petty but language matters.
