It’s hard to read that you might step away but I completely understand why. If you can’t keep going, Alice, it’s not just a personal loss, it’s a loss for the sport itself. I started following you and became a paid subscriber because your voice didn’t just mirror my feelings about women’s rugby, it was like someone had finally kicked the door open and said what so many of us have been thinking for years. The question isn’t whether New Zealanders care, but whether they’ve been given the chance to care, and that responsibility sits squarely with the major sports media, NZR and the provincial unions. Without coverage the spark never becomes a flame and right now you’re one of the few keeping it lit.
