@MaggieAlphonsi believes more must be done to protect women and girls in rugby 🏉
‘Matthew Smith’s seven-month ban for posting misogynistic remarks about me on social media does not go far enough’

Sadly, the incident I experienced with the RFU Council Member, Mr Matt Smith shows that sexism and misogyny still exist in our game.
I hope me speaking about it will lead to change. We must stamp it out and call it out when we witness it.
And just to be clear, Mr Matt Smith, I have attached a couple of images to highlight exactly what I know about rugby!

Thank you @hartpury for inviting me to join an illustrious panel of leaders and current & former athletes to talk about Women’s Sport at the House of Commons.
We talked about player pathways, investment, club and educational support, player welfare and policies - just some of the topics we touched on.
And with the women’s six nations kicking off on the 11th April it was a timely conversation ahead of what is going to be another huge event for women’s sport!
A good afternoon in the @ITVSport studio with Jill Douglas, Sergio Parisse & Dan Biggar. Tough day at the office from Italy. France were just too strong even without Matthieu Jalibert. Looking forward to Round 4 in a couple of weeks though. I think that Italy v England game will be an interesting watch.
Congratulations to both Ireland and Scotland on their wins today. Italy pushed Ireland so close!!….and Scotland punished England. What a response from Scotland after last weekend, they definitely silenced their critics.
Was great being part of the @itvsport team with Jill Douglas & Brian O’Driscoll for the Ireland v Italy match. We did the filming from Murrayfield. Personal highlight had to be sitting in the Scotland changing room before kick off. Very surreal.
Great being pitchside for England v Wales with @itvsport. Good win for England. Got the job done. Top performances from George Ford, Ollie Chessum, Tommy Freeman, Henry Arundell and Ben Earl. Sadly, today Wales were their own worst enemy. 4 yellow cards in one game has to be a Welsh record. Looking forward to next weekend, Scotland v England in particular will be fascinating.
So much fun was had today down at the Virgin Media O2 office in Paddington. I was given the honour to host the all company kick off event for 2026…..no pressure! ☺️
I absolutely loved it. Thank you to the thousands of people who joined us either in person or virtually. You brought the energy and made me feel so welcomed.
Wishing the Virgin Media O2, giffgaff and O2 Daisy team all the very best for the year ahead.

Edinburgh, you rocked!! 🤘
Loved my time here. Thank you @BunzlPlc for inviting me out to Scotland to speak at your leaders conference and for purchasing my autobiography for all of the delegates. They were a great audience! (especially as they laughed at my jokes, so I’m happy 😆).
Thank you @jwilliamsonpix for the pictures too 🙌🏾 (you definitely got my good side ☺️).
Helena Rowland – England’s most versatile player – starts at full-back instead of Ellie Kildunne in this weekend’s #RWC2025 quarter-final against Scotland
