The last daisies of spring (at Rosslyn Park at least). 20,000 studs are about to descend on Wimbledon Common for the biggest 7s rugby festival in the world, begins this morning with streaming via England Rugby and @NextGenXV #RPNS7s

Day 5 Howden Rosslyn Park National Schools Sevens and against all improbability, dear reader, the daisies are still showing. Omens are good. U18 Cup for Boys and Girls both decided today. Coverage via England Rugby and @NextGenXV

First remember seeing Will Trenholm carve his way through 18 year-old's as a year 11 Howden Rosslyn Park National Schools Sevens. Have since seen him for England 7s (blood-splattered, and just as powerful), and commentated with him as well! Lovely young man, who has paid his dues to make this happen. Real prospect

Eye-opening result coming out of Hong Kong HSBC SVNS Hong Kong China 🇭🇰 19-12 China 🇨🇳 The Chinese have swept all before them on Challenger circuit so far this season But in that grand old Hong Kong Stadium, for one of the last times, a statement win by Hong Kong China Rugby 👏

Once upon a time Guy Pepper was deemed 'wiry' Now he's bucket-of-nails tough The Bath-era Guy Pepper will be Leroy Jenkins heroic

My hat, Alyssia D'Inca is rapidddddd! #ScoITA #GuinnessW6N

With little to play for in the Prem, it's not surprising to see a 2nd string - but George Skivington is making this personal for his players: 'if you want to challenge for selection next season, show me now' (not everyone in that boat!) Smart approach for last 2 Prem games

"Good name innit" This was a lovely moment from the weekend 🙂 Finn Smith meets Fin Smith 🤝

Amongst the many enjoyable Will Collier memories, some good shots of his front row dynamo mate Rob Buchanan here.

After watching the Kylian Mbappe doc on BBC, I can't help but wish for him to transition to 7s in time for Paris 2024. Any chance Kylian Mbappé?

Nothing to see here, just Yuki Tsunoda rocking an early 2000s Benetton Rugby 🦁 jersey remake by Supreme 🙂

Munich-bound for #7sChallengerSeries finale - top 4 teams in the standings come Sunday night qualify for Madrid and a shot at the HSBC SVNS 2025. Uruguay, Kenya and Chile all on track. Hong Kong and Germany seemingly in a shoot-out for the 4th spot. Action RugbyPassTV 📺

The legend that is Courtney Lawes - Pat Marshall award winner 23/24 The Rugby Union Writers’ Club Typically classy reception speech too 👏

Going to be a brilliant day/night at the Rock this one. The best of BUCS Super Rugby in the capital, staged by the team behind the biggest 7s event in the world Howden Rosslyn Park National Schools Sevens and the 7s empresario Joe Byrnes 7 June📒

Presume everyone's feed is pretty much the same this morning? Lots of blokes with shoes in their hands and skiing goggles on their heads. This man featuring the most! Loving the post-match celebrations. Keep 'em coming Northampton Saints 😇

Although not disappearing altogether (thank goodness!) I'm so saddened by this, Scrum V is the rate setter for how a rugby magazine show should be done. Warm and editorially driven presenting, pundits speaking their minds, great analysis and community segments + highlights!

First touch is Stanley Matthews, then it's classic Underwood all the way home. Had never seen this try of Rory's before but it's absolutely outrageous.

Eve of the new domestic season so a reminder to go and buy your team's kit. It's a great way to support your club and, like Trevor in Fireman Sam, it will make you a "real gentleman" And if you're buying for Dilys Price, it does have to be a full Cardiff Rugby kit

Massive result and a stone-cold Super Cup classic: - Singer/songwriter David Veersma with a DG to seal it - Cardiff Metropolitan University's Dutch Darling Vikas Meijer 6/6 from the tee Lyn Jones's coaching is taking rugby in the Netherlands to a new height
