Womens Six Nations 2022 Italy v England

[@neill392]

What we are seeing is the full impact of the PremXV. England's players are playing at international standard week in week out. What's also good, is that the international plyers from Wales, Scotland, Canada and the USA are also playing in that league. The quality of women's rugby is rising and the Roses are leading the way.

Extreme professionalism versus extreme amateurism

1.46.45 -there's a big lull in proceedings because there are 16 new players on the pitch - it's degenerated into a farce - and it wasn't a hat-trick by Thompson, there were tries scored in between hers

[@okbutthenagain.9402]

Thompson scored a hat-trick of tries. Here is the definition of a hat-trick in Rugby. "A hat-trick or hat trick is the achievement of a generally positive feat three times in a match," Stop being so pedantic.

Please don't let trans gender ruin this this as a great showcase for women

[@thomasmain5986]

I cannot see these girl's tolerating a tran's athlete with or without penis, they simply will not be picked for the squad, and that applies accross the UK.

After seeing what the BBC commentator said about "lack of diversity???" in the lioness Football team will they squeal about the Roses?

[@okbutthenagain.9402]

The leftist BBC will always squeal about anything that doesn't conform to their woke agenda.

What are you on about? Brown, Kabeya, Tuima, Heard, Feunati, in the future Kasolo and in the past the great Maggie Alphonsi. All internationals from various different racial backgrounds.

@@paulm2467 You do realise that I wrote that over a year ago when the teams I was watching were all white which frankly I was pleased to see. As for people of colour in the team may happen but when it becomes a requirement that we have to have to have diversity to make make you flowers happy I say get stuffed. It always amazes me that diversity is demanded of western countries from 3rd world countries where diversity is unknown. It confirms to me that we do have far better societies in the west

@@johnhoward7875 watch again there are a couple of mixed race players and Kabeya who has African antecedents.
