A look back at a brilliant day at @ThePWR Final 2026, where the RPA and @GRPF2024 brought retired players together to reconnect, catch up and stay connected to the game.
The day also provided access to free health checks for former players.
Supporting players goes beyond the playing career.

There's a lot of life left after rugby.
What are you going to do with it?

First week on the Emergency Dept ๐จ๐ Remember sitting in A&E plenty of times as a kid growing up in Cardiff. A different experience the other side of the door! High pressure and challenge, high support, endless problem solving. Plenty of parallels with the previous career ๐ช๐ผ โ at Cardiff, Wales

Scotland international Molly Wright has announced her retirement from professional and international rugby.
Born in New Zealand, Molly's rugby journey took her from country of birth to Canada and eventually to Scotland, where she found a home both on and off the pitch. After qualifying for Scotland, she made her debut in 2020 against Spain, scoring a try on debut, and went on to earn 27 caps and represent her country at two Rugby World Cups.
At club level, Molly starred for Watsonians before spending the last four years with Sale Sharks.
Thank you, Molly, for representing the Thistle with pride ๐ด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ณ๓ ฃ๓ ด๓ ฟ

We had a memorable night on Friday as @RugbyLegendsIRE took on their English counterparts in aid of several rugby related charities.
Oh, and the Irish won 52-30... โ๏ธ
