Georgia Evans is unapologetically herself! The Wales international has taken a stand after facing criticism over her appearance during the Women’s Rugby World Cup match against Canada. Despite the loss, Evans stood out with pink bows and make-up, and she’s not about to change that for anyone. Sharing her thoughts on Instagram, Georgia made it clear that rugby is for everyone, no matter their style or look.
“The first and last time I’ll address this – I’m not here to give negativity a stage,” Evans declared. She highlighted that young fans, both boys and girls, are finally seeing what’s possible in this amazing game. While Wales might not have had the best run, Georgia’s passion and skill on the field speak for themselves.
Her message is clear: “The bows in my hair, the tape on my arm, the eyelashes, and make-up I CHOOSE to wear have no impact on my ability, passion, or fight for this game.” She emphasised that rugby isn’t about fitting into stereotypes. Instead, it celebrates individuality and breaking norms.
In an old-school man’s game, Georgia is all about bringing a bit of Barbie flair to the party. She’s got a strong message for everyone – be true to yourself, and don’t worry about the haters. To all her supporters, she sends a massive thank you and reassures them that she won’t be changing.
The Welsh Rugby Union also backed Evans, showing full support for her stance. Despite being knocked out of the World Cup, Georgia Evans is undoubtedly a winner in the fight for self-expression and acceptance in sport. Keep doing you, Georgia! 🏉💕
