Lets go ladies!!! First series stop in Glendale Colarado, you are ready! I can see it and feel it!!! Xo @RugbyCanada

I do think that we need to be coming up with a solution to follow up and make sure there are resources to help athletes with their transition. It is tough and unafordable to access the kind of rehab or help needed sometimes. How can we better support our athletes in transition?

[Mandy Marchak @MandyMarchak]

@PaulHunter11 @bethbarz @smchaulk @sheila_bouman @vharber @RoseLaBreche @kellruss8 @CathSpence8 @ColetteMcauley @ScrumQueens @jennrssll Absolutely. In my generation I feel like the support has amped up within our community and we all help one another and share opportunities. We need more of this!

[Mandy Marchak @MandyMarchak]

@PaulHunter11 @bethbarz @smchaulk @sheila_bouman @vharber @RoseLaBreche @kellruss8 @CathSpence8 @ColetteMcauley @ScrumQueens @jennrssll Also then works as a way for these athletes to be seen and another opportunity for them to touch a ball.

@PaulHunter11 @bethbarz @smchaulk @sheila_bouman @vharber @RoseLaBreche @kellruss8 @CathSpence8 @ColetteMcauley @ScrumQueens @jennrssll The opportunities come for being asked to be apart of it and finding opportunities for them. Creating events/camps and getting them involved. Finding places for them to continue to share their knowledge and grow the game. The time is now.

[Mandy Marchak @MandyMarchak]

@PaulHunter11 @bethbarz @smchaulk @sheila_bouman @vharber @RoseLaBreche @kellruss8 @CathSpence8 @ColetteMcauley @ScrumQueens @jennrssll All organizations. Then ask the women, give them a role or a way to be involved. Help them learn, push them and challenge them. Regional camps. Basic skills camps/sessions used as resources for develooment. The women are perfect for this and are keen!

[Paul Hunter @PaulHunter11]

How do we increase the number of female coaches that are involved in coaching competitive rugby? What are some of the barriers that are keeping women from coaching competitive rugby? What are some solutions to see growth in this area? #Thoughts

This made me the happiest! What a line Brittany! Love seeing the girls step up and show their power! @bcrugbyunion U18s do England! What great opportunity these girls have to experience that type of trip.

[Mandy Marchak @MandyMarchak]

With the crew watching the U20 @RugbyCanada ladies take on England. You were outstanding. Fight till the end. Great game ladies! Exciting times!

[Iroquois Roots Rugby @rootsrugby]

😍A box FULL of kit from our idol @ghis_landry!!! We’ll be giving these items to lucky kids in our upcoming camps! What an honour to have Ghislaine give back to Indigenous youth and help us #growthegame #thankful 🏉

[Mandy Marchak @MandyMarchak]

The @BlackFerns are just extraoridnary to watch. Well done on the 🥇. You play with such finess, connection & excitment! Great game by both teams. @FFRugby what a fight all weekend! @cbcsports your coverage was amazing! The sport has come a long way, thanks for getting on board!

[Mandy Marchak @MandyMarchak]

These athletes are incredible. This experience won't define you, but help you build character and grow. This is not the end, but a beginning. You are an inspiration, you are OUR champions. Thank you my friends!

That’s it for #RWC7s! Canada’s Women’s Team defeats Russia 22-10 to finish 7th 🍁🏉 #RugbyCA #RC7s

[Brock Smith @brocktsmith]

Rugby is getting more and more mainstream coverage in Canada, and this is a perfect example of the trend. 📈

Incredible to see - for the countless hours of work behind-the-scenes, these athletes deserve to be celebrated on the national stage!

[James Pitblado @jamespitblado13]

Although it’s not going to be the result they want, I am so proud of the 7s boys. They represent our country so well.55 weeks of putting your body on the line. Not many people can fathom what that’s like. Finish hard and enjoy the time off. I back you no matter what #notafakefan
