Thanks to Mel Berry (@WelshieBerry) for giving so much time to me today to talk about the famous Wales win over England in 2009. Fascinating insight and some great stories. Not often you get to talk to a postage stamp!

New: White shorts have been dropped from England's kit, after discussions about players playing while on their periods. Both the #Lionesses' home & away kits now have blue shorts. Here's their brand new Nike kit for the April camp, ready for the #FIFAWWC telegraph.co.uk/football/202…

Members voted overwhelmingly in favour (97.2%) of the Special Resolution at today’s EGM: 245 'yes' votes (of 252 in total) WRU governance structures will be improved irrevocably - the face of the game in Wales will change for the better, forever. wru.wales/2023/03/wru-egm-re…

Maybe it's the pregnancy hormones, but feeling extremely emotional seeing this. Trust me it wasn't easy to investigate a sport which I was in love with growing up but thanks to brave women & men speaking up change will now happen & hopefully rugby can become a sport for all.

"I find it surprising, and also deeply frustrating, when people suggest women’s sport is somehow not as good, impressive or newsworthy as men’s." Insightful op-ed from @uk_sport chair Katherine Grainger for @WomensSport on #IWD2023 telegraph.co.uk/womens-sport…

Money into girls' education has the HIGHEST returns in tackling gender inequality. This #IWD23 I’m calling on all Political Parties to commit to #fundeducation in their election manifestoes. #openletter 👉g.pe/T7ij50Mt00s 🖐️#RaiseYourHand

A1: Our latest research shows that girls as young as 5 are being bombarded by messages & labels that undermine their self-belief & make them feel as though sport is not a place for them. These can imply that girls are not as good at sport or as competitive as boys. #sportshour

This #InternationalWomensDay, our research shows that on average, women today retire with £123,000 less than men. The gender pay gap, caring responsibilities and part-time work all impact women’s retirement savings. #IWDPensionGap #StartTalkingPensions #IWD2023
