Extract from 'HANDBOOK!', University of Warwick Students Union handbook for 1981/2: 
Rugby Women
Fed up with standing on the touchlines and spurred on by the tour of Britain by the Californians, the ladies set up the Club at the beginning of last season and join a growing number of teams in the country. 
First let's dispel a few doubts:-
Yes, we play rugby - we tackle, kick, scrum-down. But it is ladies rugby and is played in a different style. More emphasis is placed on handling and less on kicking. Tackling is hard, but by women's standards not men's which makes it softer than some expect. Scrummaging against eight equally weighted women is nothing like packing down against men. 
So why do we play this 'less-than-lady like' sport? There is far more involved in the game than in traditional women's sports and is therefore more challenging. It's new and is catching on fast, it gives an opportunity for a fitness not necessary for other sports, but most of all it's fun (We have a traditional rugby social atmosphere!). 
So, bring those boots your brother has grown out of and join us. Training is on Sunday morning and you can meet us at Freshers Fayre.

We win the rugby World Cup and we dominate the Ryder cup. Yet a 3-0 home defeat to Lincoln City can still really ruin your sporting weekend

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

Walking through a town in Kent on my way to do a gig and all the England flags are making me feel a bit nervous about the crowd… but have started to pretend they are solely up for #WRWC2025 and that is helping 👍

I am SO incredibly proud of our #RedRoses at the #WRWC2025. 33 matches won back to back and now World Champions. And, with 81,885 there to see it, the second highest attendance at a World Cup Final, men or women. Bravo ladies, enjoy the plaudits!

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.

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.
