🏉 Rugby Round-Up! 🌍
Exciting headlines from the rugby world! Former Ospreys coach Toby Booth is making waves with his return to international rugby, taking on a new role as High Performance and Technical Consultant for Hong Kong China. This comes just in time for their debut in the 2027 World Cup in Australia!
In a heartfelt announcement, legendary Aussie scrum-half Will Genia is hanging up his boots. With an impressive 110 international caps and a career that spanned three World Cups, he’s ended his playing days with Japan’s Kintetsu Liners. Genia took to Instagram to express his gratitude, saying, “Thank you rugby for all the joy.”
Meanwhile, Scotland’s Emma Wassell makes a triumphant return exactly a year after her dramatic health scare. After undergoing surgery to remove a benign tumour last year, she’s back to face Wales this Saturday in the Rugby World Cup opener. Emma spoke about her journey, “To be back playing for Scotland, it’s hard to put into words… There was a big part of me that knew I wouldn’t stop until I did.”
And in women’s rugby, Sarah Hunter, former English captain and currently the defence coach, is thrilled about witnessing the sport’s growth. As England gears up for the World Cup on home turf, she’s contributing her expertise from the sidelines and cherishing this new chapter.
England’s clash with the USA promises excitement with an unchanged line-up from their recent impressive win over France. Veteran Emily Scarratt makes her fifth World Cup appearance after overcoming a neck injury that sidelined her last year.
Rugby fans, there’s so much to celebrate, from inspiring comebacks to exciting beginnings! 🎉🏆 Stay tuned for more thrilling action as the rugby world continues to unfold. 🙌💥
