Happy birthday @rachelburden.bsky.social !!

Think it’s time I upped my BSky game. Reassuring to see a feed full of rugby stuff this morning (although a little surprised to see the Razor news!)

All your weekend referees, ARs, TMOs & FPROs for The Rugby Championship, u18s internationals, and domestic action in New Zealand, South Africa and Ireland

Bordeaux afternoons. Could get used to this!

Early spin at @mountbattenhants.bsky.social

Boy 1s last exam today! He done good (jar was full of choc/creme eggs - one for him to take for each exam!)

So pleased for this group of refs/ARs & TMOs announced today. I get to work with them up close and they’re such a hardworking bunch fighting the good fight every day. Going to be a cracker of a Rugby World Cup!

100 Days to Go to the 2025 Women's Rugby World Cup - building up to be a cracker!!

Who are the 8 referees who will oversee the 11 matches of the Pacific Nations Cup? Find out here!

Awful to lose a player at any time but for him now is even worse.

Day one of a two day age grade festival at Havant RFC . Refereed 11 games of diff ages u7s to u15s. Suspect tmw could be a struggle... Ice bath in a mo...

Sign of the times! And I’m all in for it! Be really interesting to know if they can break down that audience - rugby v non rugby, gender/age differences etc

Cracking match so far here at @thepwr.bsky.social final!

Looking forward to the @thepwr.bsky.social final today with Son 1, and seeing lots of rugby friends there too! Should be a belter!

Hitting Monday like the Hannah jones express
