🤝 @IrishRugby, along with the four provinces and @RugbyPlayersIRE, has appointed Signify Group and its industry-leading service, Threat Matrix, to provide year-round protection against online abuse and threats for participants right across its game.

💙 As part of this comprehensive three-year partnership, men’s, women’s, Academy, and provincial players, key IRFU administrators, team coaches and match officials will also be safeguarded by the service, as will close family members of players and officials who also need support.

🗣️ Speaking this morning, Leinster Rugby CEO, Shane Nolan said, “Today’s announcement is a very welcome development and reflective of the unfortunate reality of the online and digital world we all now inhabit.

🗨️ “The fact that this initiative is supported by the IRFU, the four provinces and by RPI is a clear statement of our ambition to tackle this problem head-on and to work closely with Signify in the coming years to make the online world as safe and as enjoyable as possible for all and to make sure that online abuse of any kind will not be tolerated.”

Major champion Gary Woodland had brain surgery in 2023 to remove a tumor.

That tumor was pressing on the part of his brain that controls fear and anxiety.

A year ago, Woodland was diagnosed with PTSD that resulted from his surgery.

Earlier this month, he went public with his PTSD diagnosis to help himself and others.

Woodland is back in the winner's circle ❤️
