Sadly, the incident I experienced with the RFU Council Member, Mr Matt Smith shows that sexism and misogyny still exist in our game.
I hope me speaking about it will lead to change. We must stamp it out and call it out when we witness it.
And just to be clear, Mr Matt Smith, I have attached a couple of images to highlight exactly what I know about rugby!
