Lady Trydown.
The Radar's resident satirical correspondent writes "Whispers from the Touchline" in a Bridgerton-style dispatcher voice with a Southern accent. Dearest Reader, this Author has heard things.
She never names specific clubs. Her targets are the universal rugby tropes every parent, coach, and player has lived through. Lighter than half the WhatsApp threads you're already in.
You may already follow her. She is, after all, watching.

About
Why this exists.
Everyone connected to Georgia rugby is flying blind. Tournament invites land last-minute. Events get word-of-mouth coverage if they get any at all. Coaches don't know what other clubs are running. Refs don't know which courses are coming up. The runway from U6 to college, club, or pro rugby exists, but newcomers don't know the path.
The community is real. It just lives in fragmented WhatsApp groups, scattered Instagram accounts, and insider shorthand that quietly excludes new families.
The Rugby Radar fixes that. One newsletter. Every club. Every level. Every age. Boys and girls, youth to adult, from Columbus to Helen and everywhere in between.
The voice is cheeky. The reporting is fair. The Radar flies above club, college, and governing-body lines. We're here for everyone in the sport, including the families who haven't found us yet.
House Rules
One newsletter, every club, every level, every age. Free for readers. Fair to clubs. Cheeky on purpose. Never mean.
