@martinpegan@WallaroosRugby Hi Martin, thanks for this. Why is world rugby fitting the bill for two of the richest rugby nations whose unions chose not to. Do you know how much it cost them to do so?
@kate_airey@UKinUganda Thanks for all your support for the climate agenda in Uganda Kate. I personally really appreciated it and don’t think we would be near where we are without your leadership on it
@MattMerritt@Womens6Nations@Rugbydump Sadia Kabeya. Consistently brilliant in defence, physical in attack and makes such excellent decisions. Can’t think of a mistake she made all tournament. For me she’s a bit of a Richard Hill. It’s the unseen brilliance that let’s everyone else thrive

When it comes to tackling climate change, the topic of flying is a red herring, cleverly picked upon by those who don’t want action on climate, to obfuscate and cause trouble. “How dare Gary Lineker tweet about Costa Rica’s awesome forest restoration when he just flew to Los Angeles!” “Look at all those hypocritical global leaders flying in from around the world for a climate conference!” It’s nonsense of course. Flying represents one percent of total emissions and, more importantly, it’s virtually the only one percent which cannot (yet) be replaced by a non-fossil fuel alternative. Pretty much all other fossil fuel use can and must be replaced by the viable, clean alternatives that already exist. Think of the coal plants that continue to belch pollution into the atmosphere, or petrol-guzzling cars, or domestic gas boilers. If we replaced all of this with the excellent, often cheaper alternatives that have been developed, nobody would bother talking about flying. Telling the people who most need convincing to tackle the climate issue that they aren’t allowed any longer to travel the world is an excellent way to put them off thinking about the problem altogether. Which is exactly why the climate deniers do it.
@FitzgeraldInnes love your decision and your leadership. Can’t have been an easy decision at all. Will be loudly cheering you on for the races you are able to get to.
