Unless it's an independent Scotland even if they did it would be team GB 7s and not Scotland. Makes absolutely no sense for Scotland to take over team GB 7s as there is a decent chance that most of the players will still be English. Also how can there bean be no Scotland only team + GB team?

I actually think we almost did coming back from one of the games but it was very late and everyone was tired so thought it best to leave it to another time. Also it might not have been you 😬

Sometimes things have to be said in public. Onwards and upwards. Might bump into you at one of the games! Already have my tickets to the Aviva 🙂

In no small way learning about #womensrugby from @irishwomens.bsky.social led to me travel for the 1st time further than dublin for a sports event to attend 9 games in the #RWC2025 @mudderrucker.bsky.social is the only platform focusing on women's rugby in Ireland. An absolute legend! Thank you!

End of the RWC2005 brings an end to season 2. All over much to fast
Such an amazing experience. I was very fortunate to be able to make it to 9 games to see 8 teams in 5 venues. Although looking at the bank balance I'll have to be a hermit till the W6N 2026! Worth it for an experience of a lifetime.

Apparently when it was trialled a few years was easily manipulated and needed up with just more time spent with the TMO. League seems to use it but there are limits to what can be challenged. We could do with less time with the TMO but more consistency and feeling of fairness.

THE DAD ENERGY!

We kinda did Ruth Campbell dirty on her first time on the pod 🫢

Bold red text reads, "Sex Worker Pride Day". A bright light shines from the centre, and a red umbrella sits above. In the corner is NUM and NUMbrella Lane logos, with the date "14th September"

🌟 September 14th is Pride Day! 🌟

SWers have always been here, building friendships, celebrating every win, and supporting one another in the face of exclusion. Today we rejoice in the strength, wisdom, and love of our communities across the globe.

Happy Sex Worker Pride Day!

Just saw that! 😱. We'll have to be the ones bringing the Garlic the next time!

So proud of all the Women in green today. Proud to have been able to support them through this campaign. You gave it everything, made us all proud! Heros all. To Les blues, we are coming for you in France! We owe you one big time!

Picture of the Brighton and Hove stadium pitch with Irish and new Zealand players warming up.

It's going to be epic. Biggest Irish attendance at a women's rugby Game. Green way hitting Brighton big time. #RWC2025 #NZLvIRE #greenwave #weareireland #brightonandhove

The weekend games probably help with attendance. Reduces the need to take days off work. No school either. The clash with the WSL isn't great though.

What you need to know about the Emergency Alerts test on 7 September The government will be testing the Emergency Alerts system this Sunday, and your phone is likely to make a loud noise even if it's on silent. Here's everything you need to know about what's happening ...

This is going to be interesting when all the phones in the stadium go off 15 minutes into the game on Sunday at 3pm!

Another great episode. Just building the excitement for Sunday. Will it be the biggest Irish attendance at a women's rugby game? #greenwave #irishrugby #RWC2025 #womensrugby #womenssport

All we need to do now is continue to build the u20 women's game up to a proper competition too. The u18 and u20 games were great this year.

RTÉ and Virgin Media Television announce new four-year broadcast deal to secure free-to-air Six Nations coverage for fans – About RTÉ RTÉ and Virgin Media Television have today (Tuesday 2 September 2025) announced a new broadcast agreement which will see the Six Nations remain on free-to-air TV through 2029.   The two broadcasters w...

This is great news. All games from the M6N, W6N and U6N to be on free to air TV in Ireland until 2029. Great for the sport in general but specifically for the women's game. Can't attract fans if it's hidden on a website somewhere or behind a pay wall

Portia Woodman-Wickliffe Scores 50th Try to Set New Zealand Record

📢 Portia Woodman-Wickliffe has become the most prolific try-scorer in New Zealand Test rugby history, men’s or women’s, after crossing for her 50th try in the Black Ferns’ Rugby World Cup win over Japan.

Job done was the sort of game for the likes of Nicole Fowley off the bench to see the game out. Spain deserve more opportunities at this level. That's the quarters secured and we can just go and enjoy next week. See you in Brighton! #greenwave #RWC2025 #IREvESP

Good to see Italy have not actually forgotten how to score. #RWC2025 #ITAvRSA

Absolutely

Wasn't on broadcast TV in the UK though only online. Which seems somewhat of a missed opportunity. #RWC2025 #USAvAUS

Did not expect a draw there. Both sides will rue missed chances but end to end stuff and plenty of momentum swings. Both teams left it all out there. #rwc2025 #USAvAus

So true.

Those will come. There have been plenty of crazy blowouts in the men's world cups over the years. What it really needs is more commitment from the various rugby unions. SRU and WRU being the closest that are pretty terrible that way.

It's so good to see the crowds really getting behind the underdogs helping them celebrate every moment of being there. It's no less than they deserve.

This is one of the things that's so special about women's sport is that it very often shows the power of sport at it's best. Having to fight against the odds just to exist, it becomes a safe space for everyone. I feel very privileged to be a guest in this space every time I can make it. #RWC2025

Why it matters 💚💚

Damn it. I'm trying to get to sleep after traveling over and back to the game today and now this gets waved in my face. 🥹 This looks pretty epic for what is already an epic world cup! #RWC2025 #greenwave
