Is it wrong that I wish there were a thousand and eight hundred people fewer at the #WRWC2025 final? Apparently there were 81,885...

Was a little worried that Hannah Botterman was going to lift up the person handing her her winner's medal and slam her to the ground.

Not suggesting I'm a lucky charm or anything but as a fan of the Red Roses for coming up on 120 minutes now I'd like to point out that I've never seen them lose a game.

Congrats England on winning the Rugby Women’s World Cup 2025, just better.

Well, that wasn't half as difficult for England as I'd been led to believe it might be. As confusing in large parts as I'd expected, though. But, lovely, well done England. World cup winners. Nice ring to it.
