Railway Union RFC (above) has issued a reply to an article yesterday by Niamh Horan of the Sunday Independent on women’s rugby (top).
“Railway Union RFC were requested by the IRFU to facilitate a journalist from the Sunday Independent who wanted to do a training session and a feature on women’s rugby in light of Ireland’s world cup heroics.
We are disappointed that what could have been a hugely positive article promoting women’s rugby in Ireland at time of such achievement internationally has been reduced to stereotyping. The article in no way reflects our sport, its values and the values of our club and our members. Our club’s primary goal is always the promotion of rugby, regardless of gender, and we support all teams in the club equally. “

Double European 400m champion David Gillick, who’s now retired
Writing for RTÉ, “the white ox” David Gillick casts a question over some of his past rival competitors.
It hit me as I returned home after winning my second European title. I relocated to the UK that year and worked my backside off.
To have someone come up to my face and ask me, “In all seriousness David, what are you taking? Like…come on, all you athletes are taking stuff,” really told me the damage the cheats have done to our sport.
As a retired athlete I now wonder ‘Who was really clean? Did he really beat me fairly or was he on the juice?’
I don’t want to be a cynic, but I do have questions; however at the same time I know there are clean athletes competing out there, and they should be protected, admired and enjoyed, as should our great sport.
Juicy!
