The rugby community has reached a breaking point. This week, we are taking a different approach. USA Rugby has officially released a new Competition Eligibility Policy that strictly excludes trans women from the Women’s Division, and the fallout is felt deeply across our entire sport.
Between the exhaustion of systemic misogyny at home and the horror of war abroad, from Palestine and Ukraine to Sudan, the DRC, and the current strikes on Iran, the weight of the world is heavy.

For this week, we are skipping the normal news rundown to take a beat and acknowledge this reality. If you are exhausted, you are not alone.
