@GeorgieLilly @SaleSharksWomen @USARugby @XVFoundation So sorry to hear that sad news G. Wishing you a speedy recovery (at least you know a good surgeon!) lots of love, jules 🔥🔥 xx

In the 79th minute, what was about to be our biggest win, my nightmare became my reality. The next day I found out I had ruptured my ACL and done some pretty extensive damage to my knee.  A little heartbroken but time to get fixed, rebuild and come back as strong as possible✨

Celebrating all the wonderful females (now over 50) in our Touch family on International Women’s Day - each who play an instrumental role in making this the special club that it is - thank you! ❤️🏉🔥🏉❤️🏉🔥🏉❤️ #touchfamily 🔥 #Blaze 🔥🔥 #Flames 🔥🔥🔥

“We know the benefits that rugby can have on local communities and in trying to grow the game we recognise that fostering a duty to care culture by creating a safe and enjoyable environment and prioritising player welfare is an essential focus.” 4/5

“For other sports as well who maybe don’t have those resources around player welfare, it’s a great way of increasing awareness and understanding so we can really raise the standards around athlete welfare, whatever the sport. 3/5

“UK Coaching's Duty to Care Hub is a great resource for us as an NGB. It gives us the opportunity to share good practice &, whilst we’re in a privileged position that we do have some additional resources, it means we can align with UK Coaching’s guidance around safe practice. 2/5
