Antoine DuPont cleared to resume physical activity. 1/4 final clearly the target. Want to see the best player in the world take the field. Yet what does it say about player welfare? He’ll
have the best care but it’s contact sport. Not going to lie I’m conflicted.

There's lots of chat about how the next coach of the Red Roses should be a woman. Ultimately it should be the best person for the role, irrespective of gender, IMO. That said, an all-male Red Roses coaching team at a home WC in 2025 would be a huge mistake https://t.co/jHDwneOFjX

⤵️ likewise, all my concussions were caused by the knee or ground 🤷🏻‍♀️

[Kat Merchant @KatMerchant14]

I retired due to concussions- most of which occurred as the tackler. Head to hip or head to knee. THREAD

Warren Gatland reveals for the first time how the tragic death of his first daughter Shauna after 4 months and the compassionate reaction by @Galwegians_RFC has shaped his life and coaching career. A difficult one to write. Just hope I did it justice. https://t.co/MrLZYjC9v3

Less than 10 caps and held her own in that WC final 👏

If you do anything today/tonight (depending on where you are in the world right now) please read this, it’s VERY important.

@nolli15 Very fair.

[England Rugby @EnglandRugby]

England’s been dreaming.
Believing.
Years of prep. Fine-tuning and self-improving, now it’s time to shine.
New heights. New hope. New Zealand.
Come with us. Dream on. Dream big.
Don’t sleep on this.
This dream, the team dream - it’s about to get real.

#TEAMDREAM, Be part of it

Just 26 and so much life to live.

It’s impossible to read Siobhan Cattigan’s story and not question how this was allowed to happen.

And feel angry.

Angry at the confusion, desperation and isolation her family endured as she crumbled before their eyes.

The headline on this just tells half the story - it is also about why #TeamGB men’s sevens need to be celebrated & why they are way ahead of their time - and yes the unions need to do a lot more! https://t.co/rgulIJICOn

[Kate Rowan @KateLouiseRowan]

As a lot are saying here - really time for unions to ensure future of #Rugby 7s in GB - absolutely medal contenders- if you aren’t as familiar with the story this will give a bit of context
Great characters - a privilege to get to know this team https://t.co/nlnbZg5jQn

Concerning from @KyranBracken speaking to @CommonsDCMS hearing on concussion in sport:

"There was a massive feeling of denial ... the culture was to stay on the pitch."

"Rugby has become a game of collision ... the impact and the intensity is huge"
