Two great Rugby men lost too soon. Both leave a legacy of empowerment, mentorship & growth. Not to mention, both being true embodiments of the games values. RIP Steve & Kevin. Love to Cheryl, Wendy and your families.

Some positive discussions between players and @WorldRugby in Dubai at the weekend. Player Load Management, Emerging Nations growth and Laws of the Game were on the agenda. Look forward to developing these further next year. #rugby #playervoice

That’s a wrap. Thanks to all of my WR colleagues and the volunteers of France 23 for going above and beyond. It’s been a crazy few weeks but really memorable. Some R & R then the next review cycles begin.

The most successful athletes tend to spend LESS time practising their main sport through childhood & adolescence... ...and more time training for other sports! Data from 83 matched pairs of international medallists & non-medallists (matched by sport, gender & age) 👇

Seeing lots of concern about RFU tackle height trial. There has been big efforts at WR & in Unions over a long time. NZR have already committed. WR committees will consider a global trial at their meetings in March. All aimed at improving safety & spectacle. Some FFR & SA data 👇
