🏉 Big Respect from Italy’s Rugby Captain! 🏉
In a heartwarming moment, Italy captain Michele Lamaro wrapped up his press conference with a special shoutout to referee Hollie Davidson after their narrow 20-13 defeat to Ireland. 🇮🇹🏴
Hollie made history by becoming the first woman to officiate a Men’s Six Nations match, and she handled the pressure like a pro! Despite the intense atmosphere, her decisions were spot on and earned her applause from fans and players alike. 👏
Lamaro took the time to commend her: “I want to emphasise that the referee, Hollie Davidson, has been outstanding. Congratulations to her for her incredible contribution to world rugby. I appreciated her work on the pitch today.” 👏🏆
Davidson, at 33, has certainly paved an inspiring path. From refereeing an All Blacks game to now making history in the Six Nations, she’s showing what women can achieve in rugby. However, it’s not always been smooth sailing for Hollie. She’s faced her share of online abuse, reminding us all of the challenges women in sports encounter.
But Hollie’s resilience and skill continue to shine through. She’s an icon in the making and her journey is nothing short of inspiring! 🌟🏉
Here’s to breaking barriers and celebrating those who redefine the game! 🍾✨ #Rugby #SixNations #Trailblazer #Respect
Let’s spread the word and give Hollie Davidson the recognition she truly deserves! 🙌💬
