Calls for Action on Brain Injuries Amid Transgender Athlete Debate | WRR 74
Welcome to the top women’s rugby news in under 60 seconds for Aug 1-7. This week we look at three different organizations and individuals who are calling on their Unions and World Rugby to take action around brain injuries. This is what their focus should be on instead of eliminating transgender athletes.
In International XVs news, Gillian McDarby has been appointed as Ireland’s Head of Women’s Performance and Pathways and the IRFU confirmed that 43 centralized, paid contracts will be offered next season!
In Domestic XVs news, Canterbury and Auckland are leading the Farah Palmer Cup with Waikato and Bay of Plenty chasing and the DMP Durham Sharks may have to withdraw from England’s Premier league over a lack of funding.
In 7s news, Singapore won Asia’s Trophy and will be promoted to the Series in 2023, the 2024 Olympic Rugby Games will be played July 24-30 in the Stade de France and the World Rugby Sevens Challenger Series takes place this weekend in Santiago, Chile with 12 teams.
We close out the week with 10 features and 3 media.
