So What’s Wrong With Women’s Rugby in Ireland Why It Is This Way A 🧵 of 🧵 👇


We have to be more creative in engaging our community & attracting new audiences Ideas like this - and the free AIL double-header final tickets for clubs & schools - could make real occasions of our iconic stadiums Irish rugby feels complacent right now That’s dangerous

Ticket prices for the Ireland XV game should have been halved (or even less). Advertise them properly. Offer group packages for youth teams. Sell the place out, create a better atmosphere, and ultimately still make more money. Important to state it wasn’t Munster/TP doing it.



Good assessment on where we lie on women’s rugby Ideology vs Reality Opex & capex will bankrupt the provinces Division with govt, sponsors & public opinion when players agitate for equal pay Instead of building for the customer on a greenfield site…

"There are signs throughout the game that players are not in love with the Celtic Challenge." ✍️Nathan Johns writes whether the competition is an attractive prospect to players #Rugby | #IrishRugby Read more ⤵️ rugbypass.com/news/is-the-ce…

Walking around Connacht’s impressive new stadium today, I thought about the supporters who marched on Lansdowne Road 23 years ago to save the province. Amazing to see how far the club has come since. Also made me think about what the Ospreys are going through now. Solidarity✊🏻


They’re defo out there on the female side If we build the right vehicles in the right areas to attract, develop & retain as many as possible to our sport We’ve a greenfield site Or we could ignore demographics & copy what we do for men… they are just small men, aren’t they?!!

They are out there, we just need to identify them and develop it.

10 great chapters of father-son conversation topics which should comfortably get us to the Munster game on Saturday Great last minute gift idea if you are stuck & you can find it! Congratulations on another masterpiece @BrendanFanning 👏👏👏

This is a fascinating tale of Welsh governance IRFU has the same governance structure “It was a case of people protecting their positions” Anyway… Here’s a committee unelected by women’s clubs that may have changed or not but damned if anyone in the women’s game had a voice

“It was a case of people protecting their positions”

Anyway…

Our best player takes a ‘big pay cut’ to avoid the Celtic Challenge & HPU centralisation The model is broken & they keep telling us through action Build a structure that attracts, retains & develops our customer And it’s not AIL, CC or “Pro” provinces bbc.com/sport/rugby-un…


Remarkable how forward-thinking & open to change the GAA is Recognising demographic trends, proposing 11 & 9-a-side c’ships & putting the sport where the athletes actually live While we canned 7s & try to build women’s rugby inside a structure King James I imposed on us in 1610

Colm Cummins of the #GAA National Demographics Committee is talking to Eoin on @offtheball right now discussing their report on the stark challenges facing sport in both rural and urban Ireland - and what the solutions might actually be 👇 @Newstalkfm 📻 gaa.ie/article/gaa-s-…



This is the best job women’s rugby by a long shot Not encumbered by legacy men’s structures Can build for women Huge amount of 10% athletes Home WC in 8 years And just hired the best person to deliver it Congrats @USARugby & @jackhanratty - a match made in rugby heaven 🙌🙌
