Inside RWC2010: Lauren’s Express

We are currently carrying out a necessary behind-the-scenes upgrade to how images are stored and delivered on The Front Row Union Sports. With over 770,000 images on the site, we are moving our entire image library to a dedicated cloud storage service. This means images will load faster for you, regardless of where you are in the world, and the site will be more reliable overall.

As we are working on three separate versions of images during the offload process, the site cache sometimes struggles to keep up with which version to display and occasionally post grid images or complete galleries may fail to appear. This is a temporary side effect of the migration process — the image exists and is safe, it is simply in the process of being moved to its new home and identified as being there. A refresh of the page will usually bring them back, however, if it does not please contact john@thefrontrowunion.com stating clearly the post address and we will restore it as soon as possible. We apologise for any inconvenience this causes and appreciate your patience.

We expect the bulk of the image migration to be completed by the end of June 2026, with a fully upgraded version of the site ready to launch in August 2026. Once that work is done, the site will be noticeably faster, images will load more reliably, and you will not see any further disruption of this kind. Thank you for your continued support of The Front Row Union Sports.

Wednesday was disappointing losing to the Americans!

They appeared a changed team in comparison to the team we played last week, they were physical, aggressive and played with such pace.

Two key position changes for us, losing Tania at scrum-half and Bros at outhalf (due to injury) left us open to target as they rushed up hard in defence.

Final score: 40 – 3.

LAUREN DAY

Takes us behind the scenes at the 2010 Women’s Rugby World Cup!

Our focus is now on Scotland for 7/8 ranking a team we have beat in the past but in this sport you take nothing for granted. We gotta come out all guns firing and play the rugby that we do best, be confident and believe.

Good luck ladies 🙂

Following the game I’ve organised an Irish supporters bus to take all of the fans over to the Stoop to watch what is set to be an epic final New Zealand v England!

Roll on Sunday I say 😉

PS. Huge congrats to Eliza (Lizzie … heehee) for her 2nd start in the green jersey … loving your work buddy xx
