So well written. With an exciting 2025 for the women’s game coming up.

Nothing I’ve seen this weekend has summed up β€˜taking a shit with your clothes on’ more than Wales during that Australia red card.

And, for context, we’re potty training the boy, so I’ve seen an *actual person take a literal shit with their clothes on* multiple times today.

Wales still worse.

Nigel Walker has to go. But he will go because his failures are evident in the men’s game, not for how awfully he has treated the women.

If the WRU had the right management at the top, he would have been gone in August.

I’ve followed everyone in @bloodandmud.bsky.social’s rugby starter kit. Any other rugby accounts I should follow?

Last night I walked into a hotel bar that only 10 people, including my family and I, were in. One of the other people was Warren Gatland πŸ˜‚

I’m so pleased you’re on here, because it means if you leave Twitter again I won’t be emotionally ruined (again)
