18 Years Strong

Nearly two decades ago, I started Your Scrumhalf Connection (YSCRugby) with a passion fueled by the essence of rugby itself: connection. I aimed to leverage my role as a scrumhalf (now retired) and capitalize on the crucial connection with the flyhalf, a fundamental element for the fluidity of rugby. It was this profound connection that ignited my journey with YSCRugby, a journey that began simply as a means to document and share details of local women’s rugby. Little did I anticipate then, that this humble endeavor would transcend to become a global platform, uniting fans, players, and coaches in celebration of the beautiful game.

In the last 18 years, we’ve seen steady growth, reaching around 350,000 people monthly with our content. With over 20,000 followers across our social media platforms, it’s clear we’ve built a strong community. Seeing YSCRugby connect passionate fans from all corners of the globe is incredibly rewarding. Our top 10 countries include the United States, United Kingdom, New Zealand, South Africa, Fiji, Australia, Canada, Hong Kong, Ireland, and France.

Since its inception, YSCRugby has stood as a steadfast advocate for women’s rugby. Our enduring series, Pioneers of the Pitch, serves as a testament to this commitment. Through this series, we consistently shine a spotlight on players, administrators, referees, coaches, and former legends, celebrating their narratives and accomplishments. These extraordinary athletes and supporters deserve recognition, not just for their on-field prowess, but also for the unique challenges they overcome.
