Whilst you can feel sorry for her on an individual basis, the bigger picture is far more important and BTW I realise youβre not arguing differently π

How many 54 year old woman currently play full physical rugby?
Taking a look at the photo down on the article she comes across to me as living proof that the ruiing is correct. Clearly a superior physical specimen based on her gender. And she looks as though she's 30 years older than most of her team mates.
I'm really bored of this debate and these sort of articles. I lost both my cornea's when before I was 22 due to a disease and Ive been unable to play contact sport since then. I don't see this as any different. You can't always get what you want.

I just thought it one of the more balanced articles which raised some interesting issues - both personal and game-wide.

Take up reffing
It was the RFU reaching out and suggesting just that to the Trans player which caught my eye.

@MiketheSnow That is such a good idea. Keeps you involved, out there in the field & rugby has a respect the ref rule, so if anybody you gives you any beans for it, you can march them 10 without fear of repercussion.
I looked to take up reffing when I was in Hong Kong. Then I bought the (IRB) book about it, read all the regulations rules, looked at all the courses needed and went to the pub instead.
A decision I deeply regret. But I'm sure the pub was good!

@MiketheSnow He is biologically male. Play with the men you sook.

I canβt imagine either of those two teaching the kid to change a tire for some reason

I was filling the car with fuel the other day when this little car came in and this huge unit got out. Long flowing blonde hair, slightly masculine features, about 6β3β and built like the proverbial brick shithouse. To my amazement the clothing was sports related and it turned out to be a county netball player.
She parked perfectly.
Case closed.

Scary thing is it could very well be real.
