Rugby Shorthand & Hashtags for Social Media

hashtags-in-marketingYou’ve probably noticed that we’re huge fans of using social media (mainly Facebook and Twitter with some stints on Instagram) to talk about rugby. We’re also big fans of hashtags and try our best to find the right tag for the right event. Sometimes that means we make things up too!

So we thought we’d put together a quick list of shorthand for social media. This will include abbreviations and event hashtags.

We’ve started with a short list below and we’ll keep updating it. We’d also love your input on social media or below in the comments!
