On the 27th of December, almost 9,000 people packed into English rugby’s HQ to watch Quins beat Wasps 29 – 5. The crowd surpassed the previous world record for women’s club rugby by nearly 5,000 people.

The previous record was also held by Harlequins Women, who attracted 4,837 fans to the Twickenham Stoop for the 2018/19 season’s Game Changer event, as the West London side faced Gloucester-Hartpury Women’s RFC in the Premier Allianz 15s.

      Significantly, Big Game 13 was the first-ever competitive women’s club match to be hosted in ‘the home of rugby’.

      According to the most recent BT Sport broadcast viewing figures, the event peaked at 99,000 viewers during the match. This is more than the 74,000 viewers who saw the 2020/21 league Allianz Premier 15s Final at Kingsholm Stadium last season, when Harlequins Women won their first Premier 15s title with a win against Saracens Women.

      The Women’s Big Game received approximately 700,000 digital impressions across social media, making it Harlequins Women’s biggest mid-season event yet and driving further growth for the league’s most-followed team.

      “Hosting a record breaking match at Twickenham stadium is something we are very proud to have achieved as we continually strive to grow the Women’s game,” said Harlequins CEO Laurie Dalrymple. “We recently began hosting our home league matches at The Stoop and continue to look to support our athletes with first rate facilities and backroom support. Our players are ambassadors not only for the Club, but also elite women’s sport and we are incredibly proud that they can be role models for future generations of players and supporters.”

      Responding to questions why the Women’s team did not have bespoke, fitted shirts for the event, Dalrymple responded: “We can fully appreciate the challenge and desire for the Women to have bespoke shirts for this event. As a Club, we are constantly challenging ourselves and our partners to raise the bar and while the reality is that our kit suppler Adidas only makes one fit of the jersey, it is something that we are working on and will shortly announce positive news for the 2022/23 season”.

      My name is Solenn Bonnet, and I am a single mother navigating the challenges of raising my two-year-old child while trying to make ends meet. I came across a trading platform that promised astonishing daily profits of 18%. The allure of such a high return on investment was too tempting to resist, and I found myself drawn into cryptocurrency trading. Excited by the prospect of financial freedom, I invested a significant amount of my savings, totaling over 5.7 BTC. However, what started as a hopeful venture quickly turned into a nightmare. The platform was a scam, and I lost everything I had invested. The emotional toll of this loss was immense; I felt devastated and helpless, struggling to provide for my child and keep up with my bills. In my desperate attempt to recover my funds, I sought help from various recovery experts. Unfortunately, I encountered numerous fraudulent individuals who claimed they could help me retrieve my lost money. Each time I reached out, I was met with disappointment and further scams, which only deepened my despair. Last year was one of the most challenging periods of my life, filled with anxiety and uncertainty about my financial future. Feeling overwhelmed and at a loss, I confided in a close friend from church about my situation. She listened compassionately and shared her own experiences with financial difficulties. Understanding my plight, she introduced me to Tech Cyber Force Recovery, a group of skilled hackers known for their expertise in recovering lost funds. Skeptical yet hopeful, I decided to reach out to them as a last resort. Their services came at a higher cost, but my friend generously offered to help me with a partial payment. I was amazed by how quickly they responded and began the recovery process. Their team was professional, efficient, and incredibly supportive throughout the entire ordeal. To my relief, they successfully recovered more than I had lost to those heartless scammers. This was truly transformative, and I felt a sense of relief and gratitude that I hadn’t felt in a long time. I strongly encourage anyone who has faced similar challenges or fallen victim to scams to reach out to Tech Cyber Force Recovery. If you’ve invested in a fraudulent platform like I did, they are highly capable of helping you reclaim your hard-earned money. Don’t lose hope; there is a way to recover what you’ve lost.
