Ross Tucker the WR TG policy exclusion of TW from W category is predicated on safety due to size and power discrepancies, despite no testing of such TW in rugby. It allows these discrepancies though in CW. Therefore, the policy is discriminatory. Comment?

Rugby is no longer a sport for all. This size difference is allowed and celebrated.

Rugby is no longer inclusive
Rugby is no longer for all shapes and sizes.

Please stop stating this when u have banned trans women and put assessments in for trans men
Rugby WAS a sport for all

Women come in all shapes and sizes, the only issue is how society says what women should look like and what womens bodies should be able to do.

Until misogyny in sport is dealt with no WOMEN including trans women and girls will not be inclusive and open to all.

A young man dies after rugby training and Fijian Rugby Union wonโ€™t make investigation public.
Surely not good enough World Rugby??

I bet they don't get as much backlash in the current climate of gender and sport.

Well done team.
