Premiership Women’s Rugby can confirm that 2024 will start with a bang as TNT Sports have chosen to show Exeter Chiefs v Trailfinders Women live on Sunday 7 January. Giselle Mather will revel in the tactical challenge of going head-to-head with Susie Appleby in Allianz Premiership Women’s Rugby as she takes her west Londoners to
PWR Round Four The table (see below) becomes even more disjointed than last week. The absence of full medical support at the Hartpury University Stadium meant Sale’s journey south was in vain. That is not the first time this unwanted shortage has occurred. Only three games completed is not a good look for the league.
Harlequins Head Coach Amy Turner has named her squad to take on Exeter Chiefs Women in the fourth round of The Allianz PWR at The Stoop.

Emily Robinson, Quins’ vice-captain and owner of one Red Rose cap, is said to have head-butted Saracens’ Sydney Gregson. The referee, Mike Hudson, at once showed
After the game at Sale was called off owing to a frozen pitch, we were left with a single Saturday match. How times change. This famed London derby turned into a drubbing for Quins. In freezing conditions – most of the backs sporting black leggings – they had no answer to Sarries’ power, skill and
The fixture schedule was different this week: for the first time it spread across three days, with Bears taking on Gloucester-Hartpury at 19.30 on Friday evening.
