World Cup organisers condemn abuse of Wales star
Western Mail
|September 11, 2025
WOMEN'S Rugby World Cup organisers have condemned the online abuse aimed at Wales forward Georgia Evans, insisting there is "no place" for hate in the sport.
-
Evans revealed last week she had been subjected to derogatory comments for wearing a bow in her hair on matchdays, with some online users branding her "childish" and claiming her look was not that of "a rugby player".
The remarks sparked a wave of solidarity during Wales' pool stage defeat to Fiji in Exeter, where volunteers set up a ribbon-making station.
More than 1,200 fans wore bows in support of the 27-year-old.
Yvonne Nolan, competition director of England 2025, praised the response and said it sent a powerful message.
