Brilliant! 👏🏻👏🏻 💚

There are wonderful people at the English equivalent union but the insistence from them and World Rugby to marry up to any version of non-contact that isn’t F.I.T touch is laughable.

Sure it’s pedantic and takes patience to learn but it’s a fantastic sport.

Great person who accepted a huge challenge.

On air 13:50 local Italy time.

At the The Rugby Union Writers’ Club lunch on Thursday, a lovely journo pal Barney Burnham - an ex-Wasps aficionado - was summing up his current lot.

“I’ve got to see Gareth Edwards and Antoine Dupont play in my lifetime. Not sure it gets much better than that.”

Not sure it does, Barney mate.

Yes. Yes he is.

All set for this massive Premiership Women's Rugby clash at the StoneX, on air shortly.

Enjoyed watching Tigers this afternoon. Put a bit of pride back in the shirt before the holidays.

Chiefs came up short but Rob Baxter happy enough with their 23/24 campaign.

On co-coms today with Nick Heath for Leicester Tigers vs Exeter Chiefs. Lots riding on this one 💥

En route to Mattioli Woods Welford Road for the last round of the Premiership Rugby season ahead of the playoffs.

Can Leicester Tigers find the form they’ve been missing or could Exeter Chiefs win on the road and see other results hand them a playoff spot?
