Get ready for an eye-opening experience as World Rugby takes center stage to shed light on an often-overlooked aspect of sports: women's wellbeing. It's time to uncover the untold stories and initiatives that are making a difference.
Following the incredible success of the Women's Rugby World Cup 2025, World Rugby is hosting a pair of webinars on Monday, November 24th, at 0800 and 1600 GMT. These webinars, titled "This is not a Science Lesson," aim to showcase the extensive work being done to support women's wellbeing across the rugby world and beyond.
But here's where it gets controversial... Women's sports have historically received less attention and investment when it comes to research and resources. However, rugby is leading the charge to change this narrative. With an increased global audience post-World Cup, these webinars present a unique opportunity to educate and inspire.
During the webinars, attendees will hear from experts like Dr. Araba Chintoh, Chair of the World Rugby Women's Player Welfare Working Group, and Dominic Rumbles, World Rugby Chief Communications Officer. Dr. Lindsay Starling, World Rugby Science and Medical Manager, will host the event, providing insights into the progress and impact of these initiatives.
Dr. Starling previews the event with enthusiasm: "The women's game has historically lacked equal investment in research and understanding. But that's changing, and this webinar will showcase exactly how. It's a chance to showcase the incredible work that went into the Women's Rugby World Cup 2025 and how it continues to shape the future of our sport.
