A recent report from Women in Sport about how gender stereotypes spilling out from home to school impacts girls' sport broke my heart.
Here are my thoughts as the mum of a sport-mad girl, including five simple actions people can take at home to help: t.ly/9p1BH 🙏

If you play in Premiership Women's Rugby don’t forget you can use our free contract advice service. Even if you just need a fresh pair of eyes.

H U G E congratulations to the wonderful Jessica Hayden on the launch of her book The Red Roses! 🌹 🏉
There are some wonderful people celebrating her achievement this evening (looking at you Susan Dorrington & Sara Orchard) and doesn’t she just deserve it 👏

Wax Jacket Watch going strong in Twickenham already.

God love the Guinness Men's Six Nations uniform.

Rugby can feel so inaccessible to casual sport fans that - while the TV and media lot discuss breakdown entry and tight heads and gain lines - giving everyone else any currency to chat about while watching it is surely valuable.

Happy new year to all, and especially to those who are making strides, being trailblazers and entertaining us week-on-week in Premiership Women's Rugby ✨

Women’s Premiership Women's Rugby rugby right where it belongs at Twickenham today for #BigGame15 .
Great work Harlequins Women 🃏 & Gloucester Rugby 🍒 👏

All the way from West Bridgford Colts. What a legend 👊

Better together 🫶

This is so exciting! By the players, for the players 🙌

If you play in Premiership Women's Rugby join us, and let’s use your collective voice to help shape the future of women’s rugby 👊

It’s amazing what you can achieve when you really believe in something, and it can make an impact.

Here’s what was achieved at the Women's Rugby Association last season & we’re honoured to be able to continue to facilitate the first collective player voice ever for Premiership Women's Rugby players this year.

To all the players at Worcester Warriors Women, we are devastated for you, and here to support you. Whether that’s about your contract, your rights, or just to chat.

Proper game 🤘

Richmond Rugby ladies v Beckenham RFC

Thank you for having me today Fiona Stockley and Barbarian FC!
I think I behaved…?! 😬

Always lovely when refs get booed in stadiums before they’ve even run on the pitch at the Rugby World Cup. Yay for rugby values!
