Our good friend Jacob dropped this banger. He may be English but we recommend having a read anyway

Great to see Siobhan’s legacy honoured in such a public and permanent way. It’s a beautiful trophy too.

It’s the final week of the Six Nations… Finally. youtu.be/RiaW6a02wjI?si…

I’m joking, we have trusted her with the passwords but she forgets them…

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

Is this the birth of the Sean Lynn tombola? The Lynnbola?

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 telegraph.co.uk/womens-sport/2… *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! redbubble.com/people/therugb…

Maggie has spoken

@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.

@RugbyTreehouse See, I've always been told this (and the same about smaller goals in women's football, because how many 6ft 7 goalies have you seen in women's football?). But I'm still fascinated to see if it improves kicking from hand. Not many female athletes have the same-sized feet as males.

While Irish eyes beckoned towards Dublin 4, a major scalp unfolded in Coventry The Ireland U21s beating England in one of the best games of the year, to move one step closer to Six Nations Series glory For @ballsdotie balls.ie/rugby/i-dont-t…

Nadine Griffiths is Beth Fisher approved which is good enough for us.

This week on Women’s Rugby Treehouse, we were joined by our French correspondent Karuk to discuss some of the things PAC4 and Women’s Six Nations youtu.be/9ErCaP8DnZU?si…

@Hugh_96 We’ve seen what she said and it wasn’t exactly a glowing review

@RugbyTreehouse As they said it’s anecdotal at this stage but did see GB7s captain Katie Shillaker quoted regarding her feedback on the smaller ball.

If you don’t fancy listening to almost two hours of your favourite jabberwockies, or you already have and want to relive the best bit of our last episode, you can watch our rant on the World Rugby Dainty Lady Balls here: youtu.be/Sel2W9rz5vk?si…
