End of the RWC2005 brings an end to season 2. All over much to fast Such an amazing experience. I was very fortunate to be able to make it to 9 games to see 8 teams in 5 venues. Although looking at the bank balance I'll have to be a hermit till the W6N 2026! Worth it for an experience of a lifetime.

THE DAD ENERGY! We kinda did Ruth Campbell dirty on her first time on the pod 🫢 New episode of the podcast hits YouTube tomorrow morning, don't miss it! Subscribe here: www.youtube.com/@MudderRucker

It's going to be epic. Biggest Irish attendance at a women's rugby Game. Green way hitting Brighton big time. #RWC2025 #NZLvIRE #greenwave #weareireland #brightonandhove

This is going to be interesting when all the phones in the stadium go off 15 minutes into the game on Sunday at 3pm! #PublicServiceAnnouncement #NZLvIRE #greenwave #RWC2025 educationhub.blog.gov.uk/2025/09/what...

Another great episode. Just building the excitement for Sunday. Will it be the biggest Irish attendance at a women's rugby game? #greenwave #irishrugby #RWC2025 #womensrugby #womenssport

This is great news. All games from the M6N, W6N and U6N to be on free to air TV in Ireland until 2029. Great for the sport in general but specifically for the women's game. Can't attract fans if it's hidden on a website somewhere or behind a pay wall #rugby #womensrugby about.rte.ie/2025/09/02/r...

📢 Portia Woodman-Wickliffe has become the most prolific try-scorer in New Zealand Test rugby history, men’s or women’s, after crossing for her 50th try in the Black Ferns’ Rugby World Cup win over Japan.

Job done was the sort of game for the likes of Nicole Fowley off the bench to see the game out. Spain deserve more opportunities at this level. That's the quarters secured and we can just go and enjoy next week. See you in Brighton! #greenwave #RWC2025 #IREvESP

Good to see Italy have not actually forgotten how to score. #RWC2025 #ITAvRSA

Did not expect a draw there. Both sides will rue missed chances but end to end stuff and plenty of momentum swings. Both teams left it all out there. #rwc2025 #USAvAus

This is one of the things that's so special about women's sport is that it very often shows the power of sport at it's best. Having to fight against the odds just to exist, it becomes a safe space for everyone. I feel very privileged to be a guest in this space every time I can make it. #RWC2025

Why it matters 💚💚 #Ireland #WRWC2025 #RWC2025 #WRUGBY

Damn it. I'm trying to get to sleep after traveling over and back to the game today and now this gets waved in my face. 🥹 This looks pretty epic for what is already an epic world cup! #RWC2025 #greenwave

The Greenway has finally landed in England. Privileged to be her. #IreVJap #RWC2005

More than 200 journalists have now been killed by the IDF in Gaza. And so many journalists here haven’t expressed a single sliver of solidarity or outrage about it.

All set for the last warm up. Beautiful day but again sadly @ulsterrugby.bsky.social has completely failed to include any sign that women are welcome here other than the sign outside the toilets. Thankfully @bankofireland.bsky.social has women players in its ads. #irevcan #rugbyworldcup #greenwave

Happy to be corrected but does any rugby channel in Ireland outside @mudderrucker.bsky.social cover women's rugby than @connachtrugby.bsky.social fan' Craggy podcast which this week dropped it's second pod in a row with a main focus on warm ups and interpros? #womensrugby #irishrugby #rugby

Racism exists in Ireland and it’s time we face that truth, Sai Gujulla writes www.advertiser.ie/galway/artic...

Horrible, on top of so much horror. Thank you @walidhouri.bsky.social for taking on this difficult reporting

Brain rot. Learned helplessness/manipulation that would be tragic if it didn't spread so much hate and do so much damage. It's also a men's issue/problem that we have to deal with.

This should called out by WRU, Sport Scotland/Wales as well as First/Sports Ministers and result in loss of funds/fines. Blatant discrimination. Killing any legacy of a practically home RWC before it even starts. Ultimately both unions couldn't handle having better women's teams than their mens.

I'm talking with an Irish trans person who needs some counselling help and is wondering what Irish trans orgs are out there. I don't know! Can anyone help? ❤️🙂

I get this question a lot. I don't have strong views on how transmasc people should dress, but since I often get the question, I've thought about it a bit. Will share some thoughts in this thread. 🧵

This is excellent. Tough but important to hear the voices of those impacted directly and indirectly by this. Also important to understand how controversial this ban was in terms of existing cis players. Some 3 years on so many who supported this ban still have no interest in women's rugby.

What a surprise? Said absolutely no one with any credibility on the subject. Lost past the time for wide-scale meaningful action to be taken.

Ticket window opened again for #RWC2025 including some fo the final. Get them while they are hot! www.rugbyworldcup.com/2025/en/tick...

It's always going to be a conservative number.

Parliament will debate “Allow transgender people to self-identify their legal gender.” The debate is scheduled for 19 May 2025. petition.parliament.uk/petitions/70...

Another great episode and series. Well worth a listen/subscription/5 star rating.

Ireland undone in the Hive Injuries and inexperience Ireland's undoing, as Scotland finally pull out a big performance. Read my latest article here: open.substack.com/pub/irishwom...

"The only way any of the absurdities of this ruling make sense, is if its aims are exactly what they appear to be: A punitive attack on the rights and dignity of trans people divorced from any real-world concern about safety or women’s rights"

Statement on the EHRC ‘guidance’. The EHRC ‘guidance’ put out at 10pm last night is a bigoted attempt to segregate trans people in public spaces. It is almost certainly unlawful. transactual.org.uk/blog/2025/04...

The UK's political and media class has spent years heaping sadism on trans people, and they want to do the same in Ireland next. Calls for civility and calm won't cut it. We need to fight them tooth and nail. www.irishexaminer.com/lifestyle-co...

Some shift by Italy in this game. Will be heartbreaking if they lose this after being held up over the line 3 times! #FRAvITA #W6N

How that wasn't a yellow for kildunne! England didn't need any more luck at 78 minutes. #ireveng #w6n
