We’re BACK for our weekly therapy appointment.
🦅🗽 WER is BACK
🏉🤦🏻♀️ So are dainty lady balls
🦕🍝🐳 And the pain of the women’s six nations

Many people are asking “what did Ellie Kildunne do?” To break down the relationship with Quins HC Ross Chisholm. Very few people are asking what the coach, who can’t get a team full of global stars into the play offs, has done to sour the relationship.
Interesting takeaway from the Loughborough Lightning press release regarding the twelve players leaving the club at the end of the season, seven of whom are Scots 🏴🏴
WHAT EVERY W6N TEAM GOT BETTER AND WORSE AT IN 2026 🧵
—
🏴 England
✅ kicking game was already the best but got even better
❌ defence deteriorated significantly, worse by every measure
The four unions in Britain and Ireland do not usually like working together, so why is it looking like a cross-border women's rugby competition is on the cards?
I look at an issue that is facing both the Celtic Challenge and PWR which could explain why...

Julia’s not trusted with the passwords and I’ve been at a conference so here’s a fashionably late reaction:
WALES DONT HAVE ITALY LAST AND SCOTLAND FIRST 🎉🥳🍾👏🏻🙌🏻
…
But the “grand slam decider” (fix) fixture is still there
Wales team to face Ireland in Belfast. Flanker Bethan Lewis will captain a Wales side that sees three changes and three positional changes to the side that played England.
Thoughts? 🤔

On smaller rugby balls: handling errors are at their lowest in W6N history. Conversion rates + 50:22s are at their highest. Women, who for years just got on with it when they weren't taken seriously, are bored* of this shit https://t.co/BnymQZbBMu
*angry in Zoe Harrison's case
Just say NO! to dainty lady rugby balls! World Rugby's size 4.5 ball stinks and I've made a new sticker in protest. I'm not sure how long the 'classic' style will stay up in the shop as a certain ball manufacturer are a bit funny! https://t.co/jHbgY4qZ5j
@wrhys_writes Female rugby players are saying the don’t want this. Harrison herself has a better goal kicking % than most male international goal kickers. Your fascination should not outweigh the views of female players who are actually affected by this.
