"Dad was my best friend. He is the reason I got to where I am today, and I would constantly reference him because he was a huge part of my life and always will be," Anna McGann told me, of her father, Mick ❤️
She also spoke about the tattoo that means the most to her 🫶💚

One of the many reasons to give each their own franchise for women’s rugby…

Cork/Limerick bickering is one of the biggest silent killers within Munster Rugby. Be they in backrooms, sitting on business class flights, muttering on sidelines or in meetings, or social media — be deeply suspicious of anyone pushing it.

Women's sport has lost such a strong advocate. He inspired us all to be our best selves.
We are all broken hearted.

In 2019, Wales were the number one rugby team in the world. Five years later, they were on an 18-match, 2-year losing streak with no hope in sight. This is the story of how negligence, incompetence, and austerity tore apart one of rugby's proudest nations-

@LeinsterClub @scrumming_ten FWIW, they don’t go over for money - no one ever has
They go cos for system that built around them, that facilitates work/study/career/life, no huge commutes to train/play, a competition model that develops vs 5 different coaches over a 12 mth season..

@scrumming_ten Its a bit like Irish rugby in the 90s and early 2000s. Plenty of Irish girls go over to England to play because there's better money over there, but its changing. We're just 10 years behind England

There is a definite choice to be made tomorrow. Do you ask the publican to put on the Toulon game or the W6N?

Latest piece in @IndoSport
Between this new AIL structure announced & this piece published, the structure was changed
The key bit is examining the root cause why such a poor decision was made & followed by a reactive decision that isn’t optimal either

More reality of being a pro female player in Ireland
This is not in the interests of athletes, coaches, growing our sport, the women’s rugby community, the provinces or the IRFU
They’ll all say this OTR
Who’s gonna tell the emperor about their clothes?

@fitbizexplosion You’ve been doing this damn near 20 years in multiple clubs & multiple universities
With that experience & expertise, the committees & staff making decisions must have you on speed dial
Would you go on a committee? Do you have any professional experience outside of rugby?

@JC200022 "When we started talking........" might be a good starting point in Ireland 🤔

“We decided NOT to have a women’s league based on the same principles as the men’s game”
“… a clean sheet of paper”
If only we had someone who knew the SA system & could harness the community in Ireland 😏
Build with our female athletes in mind
And not bankrupt the Union…

Good headline & positive move
But not a 10% strategy & not a credible domestic pathway
Internal politics of HPU v Lynne’s new 4 hire dept & the more than decade long ineffectiveness of the Domestic dept
Dysfunction rolls on

Few have a reputation within the Greystones/Bray for rugby better than the legendary Kevin Lewis.
On Wednesday, he is aiming to steer Presentation College Bray towards back-to-back Vinnie Murray Cups.
