Would really encourage everyone to watch Samoa coach Ramsey Tomokino's answer to this question from @nickheathsport.

Forget the score. It was moving to see how much today meant to everyone connected with this Samoa side.

Very few have done more for rugby over the last fifteen years than the team at Scrumqueens. A legacy that moved the sport forwards decades in the space of just one.

[Women Eagles @USAWomenEagles]

There hasn't been a more stalwart supporter and proponent of women's rugby than @ScrumQueens . The game is where it is due to the diligence of the work of @AliDonnelly and @johnlbirch keeping the spotlight on it! Thank you for all you've done for the sport!

@FloydTweet @The_Cutback ❤️

[Flo Lloyd-Hughes @FloydTweet]

End of an era. A massive inspiration for launching @The_Cutback was the work Ali had done with Scrumqueens. The website closes with women's rugby in a completely different media landscape. A huge legacy.

One final piece of housekeeping.
For 16 years we've maintained the only complete list of women's tests and sevens internationals. We will no longer be doing this.

Thank you to @AliDonnelly, @johnlbirch + everyone else involved with SCRUMQueens for being trailblazers when it came to growing the coverage of the women's game...

Well done on an excellent 16 years

All good things come to an end.

Our 16 year journey in women’s rugby has come to an end. We have loved it all and are so grateful for your interest and engagement - but it feels like time.

According to an @Federugby press release, the @Womens6Nations U18s Festival will return to Wellington College in Berkshire, 9th-20th April.
This was the same venue as used in 2023.

[Scrumqueens - Women’s Rugby @ScrumQueens]

Selangor is the state with the national capital - Kuala Lumpur - so is likely to have a strong team.a

[Scrumqueens - Women’s Rugby @ScrumQueens]

Upcoming "international" between Singapore and Selangor [a Malaysian state team].
Singapore will not be part of @asiarugby's Division 1 later this year (India, Malaysia, UAE), so a sign of revival of XVs in Singapore.

[15 Sebelah (Malaysia Rugby 🇲🇾) @15Sebelah]

Perlawanan persahabatan 15s antara Selangor dan pasukan wanita kebangsaan Singapura 🇸🇬 Sabtu ini!

Hadirkan diri beramai-ramai ke Padang Astaka, PJ

[Scrumqueens - Women’s Rugby @ScrumQueens]

@RugbyAsia247 @SVNSSeries But aren't all the tournaments in the second weekend all two days, to prevent burnout presumably, making "shortened format" is necessary?

[Scrumqueens - Women’s Rugby @ScrumQueens]

It's back to three pools of four for the next round of @SVNSSeries next weekend, because the tournament is over three days.
Does changing the format from one tournament to another have an effect?
Do teams approach tournaments differently if the format is changed?

[Rugby Europe @rugby_europe]
