Ok, so not the worst thing ever - I mean, obvs not first choice, but still decent.
Play them on rotation against Japan/Spain. Aoife of the bench against the Black Ferns, likely keep our powder dry for the quarter against France, let Aoife loose, set up semi against England. Yeah, that works.
Well, that's put me in a grump for the rest of the day.
Realistically, what would our back row look like now for the Japan and Spain games? I have really lost track of all the injuries/Ladders walked under/mirrors broken.
Gillian McKeith surely gotta be in the mix?

Norway are managing to piss me off royally again in a major tournament. Another own-goal and a mishit cross in a game where they have been pretty bang average. Again.
How do they have the players they have, and perform like...[gestures at telly] that?
3-0, Rebecca Bartosh completes her hat-trick with a cross/shot that flies in off the far post.
Far too easy now for Guam.
2-0 now. Bartosh with a tap-in, after a free-kick was headed against the post.

Goal to Guam, ripper from 25 yards out into the corner,keeper almost getting to it. Just before half time.
Guam massively on top, haven't seen their keeper touch the ball yet.
Watching Maldives V Guam in the AFC Women's Championship Qualifiers. Because, why not? Maldives keeper having a worldie so far. And a nice curtain raiser for the Euros starting later.

One NYE, me and mate passed on expensive pubs and sat in my local naming England RWC squads. Come midnight...
"happy New Year...! So Victor Ubogu..."
Last people to leave the pub, fairly well oiled, helped clean up with the staff.
Easily in top five new years that.

Agree wholeheartedly from an Irish point of view.
As a Quins fan....I am sat in a teams meeting, and squealed when I saw the announcement. There have been looks....
Oh. my. God
What a signing!!!! Absolute statement from Quins, and personally am absolutely delighted (and cannot wait to tell my daughter tonight!)

So out of England, a group of former international cis women rugby players are organising a match against trans women to show how stupid the ban on trans women’s participation is.
They are calling this match - Ruck You.
I love this.

I have various recommendations from AYLFest at the weekend - will post in a bit.

The only song needed for today 💙🤍💙🤍💙🤍💙

Whilst not as emotionally as invested as most others - my following is through the women's team - this is glorious news.
Hopefully the women's team can be brought back under the umbrella of the main club in due course, but today, just celebrating this excellent news.💙🤍💙🤍💙🤍💙
Apropos of whatever my brain flings forward to think about, a short retrospective about Daphne & Celeste's Reading Festival set from 2000.

REPORT: The Royals' season ended in defeat yesterday, with a 2-0 loss at AFC Porchester.
@petermatthews25.bsky.social also sums up #ReadingFC's "interesting, bumpy and, at times, roller-coaster ride of a season" and a POTS win for Lucy Bolitho.
Don't know if it's any help, but DAZN stream the games live in the UK, and it's free, with the highlights/match replays up fairly quickly (ie, next day).

Love that line-up.
Though have just seen the England team. Won't lie, slightly worried. That bench of theirs 😳
Won't be anywhere near as heavy as last year (long afternoon waving the flag in the front row at Twickers) but I still think it's gonna be a tough "looking for positives" watch

That's huge on Wardy. And something else to consider would be whether Abbie would then depart Brizzul as well (depending on the role he takes).
Fascinated to see where he ends up - Quins Men maybe....(I would absolutely be on board with that, if it also means Abbie in our second row for Quins).
