Well a new one for us, one of the lads has said he’s unavailable for Tuesdays training session as he’s going to see Shania Twain.
What’s the worst/best excuse you’ve ever heard for missing a game/training?
Front row lads after grafting for 80 minutes, making tackles, hitting rucks, punching the opposition 9 (discretely) & having 18 scrums in a game.
Only for the winger who touched the ball 3 times, dropped the ball twice and missed three tackles to get man of the match.
Not sure what’s worse, Englands form leading into the RWC or their suit tailoring at the cap presentation!
Very rare to see this level of tailoring nowadays, even on the wealthy. So let’s talk about some of the reasons why it’s great 🧵

This has made our year! Hopefully a true fly on the wall, drive to survive-esque application. The ‘97 Living with Lions pioneered the behind the scenes sport genre hopefully the red chino brigades reluctance to give rugby personality doesn’t derail this!

Backs all around the world trying to work out how much time missing 3 tackles and getting bounced out of a ruck takes up of their 15 minutes of contact – at West Bromwich, England
New World Rugby guidelines place limits on contact training:
🏉 15mins intense contact per week
🏉 40mins controlled contact
🏉 30mins live set piece
Guidelines will be adapted with research. Intention is to formalise in law. They will be in RWC terms.

Russia being made to compete at the Olympics as the ‘Russian Olympic Committee’ is the elite sporting equivalent of being told ‘not tonight mate’ by the bouncers.

When instead ring-fencing the top domestic rugby league you give opportunity, aspiration, incentivise investment and are willing to share the spoils with the 2nd tier...you allow the chance for scenes like this.
English rugby, take note

For two minutes and fifty-eight seconds of Sale Sharks vs Gloucester, both sets of players just forgot all about structure, threw caution to the wind, and went for it...
It was absolutely glorious 😍

You might be struggling at work today but at least you’re not ‘blocking the Suez Canal’ struggling at work.
