🏉 Rugby Round-Up: Shaking the Pitch! 🏉
Good morning, Rugby fans! Here’s what’s making waves today in the world of rugby!
🚨 Welsh Rugby Shake-Up: Former Wales captain Ellis Jenkins has raised his voice about the ongoing WRU public survey. With a massive restructure on the cards, including potentially cutting professional clubs from four to two, Jenkins is urging decision-makers to act swiftly and wisely, as this call will echo through time.
đź‘š ‘Rip Off’ Row: A trio of England Women’s Rugby stars, Zoe Harrison, Sarah Bern, and Jess Breach, find themselves in hot water. They’re caught in a spat over T-shirts they’ve been promoting, accused by business owner Georgia Buchanan of mimicking her brand, Ruby Loot. The T-shirts, marketed under Below The Shoulder, have stirred up quite the media storm, though no legal wrongdoing has been confirmed. Buchanan voiced her angst over on TikTok, catalysing discussions around originality and collaboration.
🌍 South Africa vs All Blacks: Rassie Erasmus has drawn a hard line in the dirt, warning the Springboks they’ll need to hit 28 points to break the All Blacks at Eden Park this weekend. Emphasising both tries and tactical play, Erasmus is gearing up for a showdown with New Zealand’s fast-paced, open game style. Captain Jesse Kriel will lead the charge with Siya Kolisi ready to rumble against his close mate, Ardie Savea, in a game that’s sure to thrill.
🇦🇺 Wallabies Watch: Joe Schmidt, Australia’s mastermind coach, is asking Lukhan Salakaia-Loto to keep waiting, despite his pleas for a recall. Even with strong showings in club rugby, the lock remains benched, while Tom Hooper and Harry Wilson find their places in the line-up.
Keep your eyes peeled, this weekend promises to be filled with thrilling matches, legendary clashes, and maybe a bit of drama. Let the games begin! 🏉🎉
