One of the many wonderful benefits of traversing Edinburgh by bike. Time to stop and appreciate the wildlife. 🦦 🚲

Taken a day to process but that was a fantastic final day of a truly fantastic tournament. 🌹 Sitting in front of the entire Scotland team drinking and cheering on friends was an added bonus.

These are the flags that make me proud. Two flags, mutual respect, and a shared commitment to stand out in the pissing rain to support an amazing Women's Rugby World Cup. #EngvSco #RugbyWorldCup

As a Scotland fan that ranks up there with the best games I've seen in a Scotland shirt. Absolutely destroyed my voice chanting. Regret nothing. #ScoVWal #RugbyWorldCup

Someone at the British and Irish Lions should put props in charge of brand comms. Between the fated 'Ellis Bealham' podcast and the continuing Schoeman in Wonderland interviews they've struck gold. www.bbc.co.uk/sport/rugby-...

Only 100 days to go until the Women’s Rugby World Cup 2025 kicks off.

With record-breaking ticket sales for the tournament, I’m delighted that London will be playing host to the final at Twickenham.

As someone with a disability but is lucky enough to be fit for work, despite the tough and tiring days, it's infuriating to see a government i voted for take the approach of reducing support for the most vulnerable rather than introducing progressive taxes that encourage a fairer society.
