Ireland Joins Transgender Ban Amid Debate on Women's Sports Inclusion | WRR 75

Welcome to the top women’s rugby news in under 60 seconds for Aug 8-14. Ireland has joined England in banning transgender women from playing. Exclusionary bans like this are a continuation of a long history of excluding women from competitive sport. The category of women’s sport only came after male athletes were threatened by women competing. For those banging the drum to “protect women’s sports”, check yourself and understand that transphobia has roots in fascism, racism and homophobia. In 7s news, Japan conquered the Challenger Series and will take their place on the 2023 HSBC 7s Series, Scion won back-to-back Championship in USA’s National Club 7s and Canada confirmed that Jack Hanratty will be their Head Coach. In XVs news, South Africa dismantled Spain 44-5 and improved their World Rugby ranking to 12th. They will face Spain again on Friday, August 19. Meanwhile, in the Farah Palmer Cup, Canterbury is outpacing the pack with 4 wins in 4 matches and DMP Durham Sharks announced that they have been successful in sourcing the funding required to continue in the Allianz Premier. We close out the week with 13 features and 5 media.
