       Re:  Women's rugby at risk of RFU funding cuts after Tyrrells
       ends sponsorship

       According to a piece in the Times today, the loss of the
       sponsorship of Tyrells is actually a rather mundane one:
       --- Quote ---
       > Last week, as the season fizzled to what would have been its
       close, it was also announced that Tyrrells, the Premier 15s
       title sponsor, would not be renewing its contract for the next
       three years.
       >
       > It was a decision that had nothing to do with the coronavirus
       — it is understood to be, in part, because Tyrrells is now owned
       by KP Snacks, which has agreed to sponsor cricket’s the Hundred
       — but trying to find a new title sponsor during a global
       pandemic is not a situation any sport would wish upon
       themselves.
       >
       > Despite this, the mood among players and clubs was one of
       optimism, a fresh start, and there was not a sense that the
       former sponsor would be mourned. Former England captain
       Catherine Spencer criticised the snack brand for not being
       “engaged” in the women’s game.
