The article discusses the backlash faced by a female rugby player following a TikTok dance she performed live on BBC after a game. The response included significant abuse on social media, which the player initially wasn't aware of due to her limited engagement on X (formerly Twitter). Despite the criticism, she expressed that such comments are common in women's sports and that she stands by her actions, highlighting the difference in public perception of male and female athletes. The support received from teammates emphasized the evolving nature of women's rugby.
Receiving abuse isn't new to me, the other Wales girls or players across the sport. I even got shouted at while playing for my club.
I understand we lost and the men wouldn't do it, but it's a different brand and ballgame to what the men do. I don't regret doing it at all.
