## Resource

Big shake-up in Premiership Women’s Rugby as three Welsh internationals—Carys Phillips, Lisa Neumann, and Abbie Fleming—exit Harlequins, joining a wave of 25 departures including England’s Ellie Kildunne. Phillips, a hooker, joined late last year after Worcester’s collapse; Neumann, a winger, struggled to replicate last season’s form; Fleming, a lock, fell out of favor. The exodus isn’t limited to Harlequins—Bethan Lewis and Kelsey Jones are leaving Gloucester-Hartpury for Bristol Bears, while Alisha and Jasmine Joyce, plus Maise Davies, also depart Bears to return to Wales for the Celtic Challenge. Expect major roster shifts and new dynamics across the league next season.
