Maggie Alphonsi has not wasted any time clapping back at 'sexist' trolls on social media.
The 37-year-old pundit, along with commentator Danielle Waterman, were targeted with a number of vile comments during their coverage of the opening Six Nations clash between France and Italy.
"A good afternoon in the studio for ITAvFRA," wrote the 74-cap England international.
"As expected tho, many sexist comments about women working on men’s rugby.
"Those who comment are not worthy a response. Rugby is not a gender, it’s a sport and my accolades far out way what any of those sexist individuals have achieved!!"
Well said, Maggie Alphonsi!

- Jordie Barrett over Damian de Allende is far from being correct. The hype around Dupont is also overreaching, he's probably 4th in the world and has been since the 2023 WC. He also avoids certain matchups which is strange. The rest of the list is pretty good apart from minor subjective biases.JasonMarlow16-09-2026
