Hyped to fly to Dubai, pay £300 for a ticket, and watch Angus O'Brien, three Argentine wingers and a bunch of Japanese lads nobody has heard of play a team solely comprised of Roger Tuivasa-Sheck and Harry Mallinder.

A brilliant analysis of the #RedRoses v #Canada at the #rwc2025 as per usual from @squidgerugby.bsky.social

A great call to arms for all of the other Rugby Unions around the world to step up and support their phenomenal teams as well.

They did it. After a world of pressure on their shoulders, the Red Roses are finally World Champions, overcoming Canada at a sold-out Twickenham. We dive into how England adapted their gameplan, nullified Canada, and saw the title home...

This is excellent, as ever from Jess.

My fab pal @jesshayden.bsky.social must be celebrating the Red Roses win yday as much as anyone but that won't stop her making sure everyone understands that sport is political 🔥

Whilst rights are rolled back, women’s sport intensifies ...

Sport has always been a proxy battleground, a place where gains can be celebrated even as losses mount elsewhere

We desperately need to rename these Orange Cards. Imagine being someone who dips in and out hearing the referee discuss if this is a red card or a twenty-minute red card.

I lost my mind around week four in France for the 2023 World Cup. A full tournament is an amazing but honestly incredibly draining and difficult thing to do.

Already the best tickets my family ever bought, and it hasn't even happened yet!

So great to be able to watch, together with my daughter, fun, clever media talking about *her* sport, in the run-up to the most amazing game ever!

Go Canada Go!

It all comes down to this. For three years, the Red Roses have dreamt of this day. Whilst for over a century, Canadian rugby has been building to this. So where is the 2025 Rugby World Cup Final going to be won and lost, and just how big could the impact of this one match be?

Just found out that the Rugby World Cup final is at the SAME TIME as the Rugby Championship South Africa v Argentina game. Why are there even games the same time as a World Cup final?

I hate rugby so much.

3. Asia Hogan-Rochester is set to become the first-ever openly genderfluid person to play in a RWC final. AHR has openly talked about their genderfluid identity. Whilst some may view genderfluidity as a part of the non-binary umbrella, they are not interchangeable terms.
