50 years a rugby writer, mainly at the Rec in Bath. Allegiances to Brixham RFC and Irish rugby. It's a simple game ... as long as you can master the skills.

Sam Underhill's season is over, banned for four weeks by an independent disciplinary panel after being cited for his high tackle which earned a yellow card against Lyon. The Bath Rugby flanker accepted he had been guilty of foul play but contested the red card citing.

Arthur Green again looked a very fine prospect at No 8 for today. And not the only one as the Bath Rugby tyros tested themselves against serious PREM Rugby opposition and claimed a try bonus point.

Latest appointments from the Bath Rugby 'boot room', keeping it in the family, with the accent on developing players as people too. It's van Graan's way.

There are some Bath Rugby games, just some, where the place to be is with the OFFICIAL BRSC 'faithful' rather than in the press seats. Seeing Finn Russell coolly floating that pass to Max Ojomoh just in front of us was all the more memorable for being shared with my son, Tim.

I've finally watched the game through again. Of all the Bath Rugby finals stretching back to '84, I honestly can't remember any as emotionally charged as this one, even Bordeaux in 1998.

A pretty faultless first half for Finn Russell - in attack and defence - in the British & Irish Lions opening tour game. Still 100 per cent off the tee since Bath Rugby defeat of Leicester Tigers on 17 May.

An EPCRugby tie between Bath Rugby v Munster Rugby had that strange inevitability after Johann van Graan's new charges lifted the PREM Rugby title. The draw was also pretty kind to Bath, depending on how the home and away matches fall.

Breaking: Irelandโ€™s Jamie Osborne has been called into the Lions squad. He will arrive in Brisbane on Saturday. Blair Kinghorn has received positive news after scan on his knee but will have his return to training managed.

I'm trying to understand how a 'vertical sports hub' (whatever that means) of just 16 content editors can serve all of Reach's national and local titles in any meaningful way. Oh, and while cutting 30-50 writers' jobs. Really?

Yes, this is significant - the Environment Agency withdrawing its objection to a new stadium for Bath Rugby on the Rec, subject to the inclusion of flood response measures and conditions in the plans. The last statutory consultation hurdle.

This is a good read if rather sobering. Knuckles is a great rugby bloke, knowledgeable and approachable, who did his best for Bath Rugby but at a time when the club lacked vision and ambition.

On the 2001 British & Irish Lions tour Andrew Baldock and I made a special pilgrimage to the Melbourne Cricket Ground (not a rugby venue in those days) and persuaded the ground staff to let us walk out into the middle. Spirits of Bradman, Warne and many others.
