Excited to announce the launch of a new weekly column, The Off-Field Review. Kicking off with a look at pre-season, speaking to sources at PREM Rugby clubs about which players have impressed so far. The most interesting name? Fergus Burke at Saracens. theofffieldreview.substack.com
After seven years (this month!) of doing BBC radio work, they decided I could be trusted on live TV. Grateful for the opportunity, thrilled it didn’t go terribly wrong ♥️
You can now buy The Red Roses at SOOO, the women’s sports shop on Regents Street!
Sarah Jessica Parker liked a video of me talking about Epping and it’s made my day!!
Serena Williams is fronting a weight-loss jab for a medical company her husband sits on the board of. It could mark a turning point for sport. Are elite athletes using weight loss jabs? Two pieces by me about this for @ObserverUK observer.co.uk/news/sport/art…

Portia Woodman-Wickliffe: ‘How can you be the GOAT if you’re still learning?’ The New Zealand great shows no sign of bowing out of international rugby ahead of World Cup. bit.ly/3HIelQD
Something close to my heart. Epping Forest is where I have called home for most of my life and I’m sad about the radicalisation in my community. instagram.com/share/BBOpe648…
The Red Roses have arrived at the Rugby World Cup!
Jessica Hayden retweeted
England begin this World Cup on a run of 57 wins in 58 games with an (incredible) average scoreline of 48-11 in that period. They have been historically dominant. You'll hear "pressure is a privilege" a lot, but the psychology of it all is fascinating. telegraph.co.uk/rugby-union/20…
On BBC Radio 5 Live in around three minutes to preview the Rugby World Cup!
On the eve of the Rugby World Cup starting (AHHH!! 🤩), here is the start of the introduction to my book, The Red Roses. The book covers everything from performance to pregnancy! You can buy it via the link at the bottom of the article! @BirlinnBooks observer.co.uk/news/sport/art…
