Wales Rugby Union's Response to Criticism & Six Nations Updates | WRR 25
from Women's Rugby Rundown · host YSC Rugby
Welcome to the top women's rugby news for Apr 12-18! We’re picking up where we left off last week with the Wales Rugby Union receiving lots of online criticism due to their team’s performance in the Six Nations. They’ve responded by stating that they are “committed to developing the female game” but have indicated that the pandemic interrupted those plans. Is this true or is this another case of using the pandemic as a convenient excuse? We’ll have to keep our eye on this. In XVs news, Russia celebrates their teams attendance at the Inaugural 1991 Women’s Rugby World Cup, we review Round 3 of the Six Nations which caused a small shake-up in the World Rugby rankings, we also look at Round 17 of Allianz Premier 15s, and the USA Rugby DI Elite semi-finals. In 7s news, Canada has completed their probe into former head coach John Tait but won't share findings until all parties are notified. In "other news", we learn the three candidates for the World Rugby Executive Committee, Guinness is working with Wikipedia to build profiles for players in the Six Nations and NIRA adds three more teams which gets them that much closer to the critical number of 40 NCAA rugby teams. We wrap the week up with 11 player features and 16 media! Wendy is wearing a blue shirt with a white United States graphic with the word rugby written over it. This shirt was created by Rugby Ninja.
