Women’s Rugby World Cup organisers have said there is no room for online hate in the game, after the Wales back-row Georgia Evans was sent abuse for wearing a bow in her hair.
Yvonne Nolan, the competition director of England 2025, also hailed the sport’s community response after Evans released a statement last week saying she had been labelled “childish” for her regular gameday look and told it was not one “of a rugby player”.
