Women’s wellbeing has often been an underserved area of sport but rugby has been making strides in this space for some time. With an increased audience on the back of Women’s Rugby World Cup 2025 the webinar titled “This is not a Science Lesson” will help players, coaches and officials in all sports learn about the breadth and depth of the work underway.
Hosted by World Rugby Science and Medical Manager Dr Lindsay Starling, the webinar will include presentations from Dr Araba Chintoh of the University of Calgary who Chairs World Rugby Women’s Player Welfare Working Group. It will also hear from subject professionals including Dominic Rumbles, World Rugby Chief Communications Officer.
Previewing the event Dr Lindsay Starling said “Historically, the women’s game hasn’t had equal investment in research, resources, or understanding. That’s now changing, and the “This is not a Science Lesson” webinar will show how. This webinar is a great chance to show all the work which went on at Women’s Rugby World Cup 2025 and how that continues into the future.
“I’d encourage people to register, tune in, and hear about the sheer number of projects and level of work taking place in our sport around the world.”
