Rugby friends please help. My daughters u16 team are touring Devon in October. They're looking for a game Friday 5th Oct in SW Somerset/ NE Devon on way down M5; then in Devon on Sunday 7th Oct. We've contacted clubs, not all have U16 girls teams, some are unavailable. Any leads?

This is a great article and worth your time to read. @WorldRugby have to provide more fixtures for Tier 2. Thereโ€™s no point providing funding for coaches/medical/logistics if they hardly play Tier 1 teams outside of RWC.
Another @rugbyworldcup - another striking demonstration of how much more Tier Two teams deserve. Watched the @manusamoa game. Stood outside to calm down. Made myself some toast. Then wrote this. "What's next for Samoa now their Rugby World Cup is over?" 1news.co.nz/2023/10/08/john-โ€ฆ

Staggered at the lack of accountability. @premrugby @RFU should feel ashamed for the demise of Worcester and Wasps. Good people supporting their clubs, kids playing minis and supporting their heroes. Rugby people and local communities losing jobsโ€ฆ

A great game being ruined by amateur administration and governanceโ€ฆ scary to think more Clubs go this way soonโ€ฆdonโ€™t worry though; weโ€™ll increase the salary cap back up in 2024โ€ฆ. How many clubs will be left??

Wow. So disappointing to see so many big & historic rugby schools with strong programmes playing the @RPNS7s Vase. The @SchoolsCup winners and two of the semi finalistsโ€ฆ a real shame. What/who is this competition forโ€ฆ? These are not emerging schools.

An eye opening thread below - I hope they have the clubs best interests at โค๏ธ. Thank you @jamespearson88 - ๐Ÿคžfor the staff, players & families affected @theRPA @premrugby @EnglandRugby
EXCL: The day after @WorcsWarriors was hit by legal action for unpaid taxes, its directors used another of their companies to purchase the clubโ€™s car park, for just ยฃ50,000. Barring an offer to buy, Warriors are expected to go into administration, possibly today... Thread.

Absorbing enough to break Retallicks cheekboneโ€ฆ Iโ€™m not sure anyones ever absorbed anything with their head - skulls arenโ€™t usually malleable. Just because Porter is stationary & isnโ€™t flying at Retallick doesnโ€™t mean the degree of force is low. Two ~120kg power athletes. ๐Ÿฆโžก๏ธ๐Ÿ 
WR statement on Porter said: "the playerโ€™s act of foul play did not meet the red card threshold due to the absorbing nature of the tackle.On that basis, the independent committee deemed the act of foul play did not merit further sanction, and the citing complaint was dismissed.โ€
