Sky need to play this to Rob key and film his reaction. Ludicrous he’s not ready for a test match when on a central contract

Ireland is the only country that announces signings of their own players, and it’s really fucking weird

What do you mean he’s locked in until 2028? Of course he is: he’s Irish and playing for Leinster – he was hardly going to suddenly show up for Fiji was he?

[Joe G @J_Griffiths14]

A loan player who’s out for the season, could go back to his parent club but instead chooses to stay and show fans around the stadium cause he’s a sound fella.

Stick that in your fucking rag newspapers.

In 2005, James Anderson (@lancscricket) dismissed David Sales of Northants.

In 2026, James Anderson dismissed James Sales of Northants, David Sales's son, who was only 2 years old when Jimmy dismissed his dad.

So, according to the Telegraph, Josh Tongue and Jamie Smith have both refused offers to play in the IPL as replacements. Fair dues.

Maybe playing for the England Test team still matters more to some young players than franchise T20.

THE ONE!☝️Welcome to the Team 21 year old England and Lions talent Henry Pollock - I watched this young man and thought SUPERSTAR! Then I met him, understood the passion, vision and desire and had to be a part of this journey. Sometimes someone special comes along that has all the ingredients to change the sport. Rugby here we come 🏉 🚀

Lady in blue, "Will student loans be the next misselling scandal?" #BBCQT

Oli Dugmore, "My three year course, £9,000 a year for the tuition, on top of that a maintenance loan, I left uni with £37,500 of debt"

"From the day I was charged RPI interest"

"Since I went to uni in 2012, the amount of interest I have accrued is £32,000"

"Was it missold to me when I was told it would cost me £9,000 a year? Yes"

"On top of that its a regressive system"

"If you're wealthy enough to pay the fees up front, you don't get charged interest - if you're rich enough you don't pay the same as me"

"The government changed the terms of the agreement, I call that loan sharking"

Fiona Bruce, "How else would you pay for university?"

Oli Dugmore, "How did you guys pay for it?"

"The state paid for it, didn't they?"

Fiona Bruce, "They did"

Oli Dugmore, "Good enough for you, good enough for me?"

[Tier 2 Rugby @T2Rugby]

World Rugby has done an AWFUL job of match scheduling RWC 2027.

First of all they have totally wasted the big benefit of 24 team even pool number format which would allow for midweek games but without one side having to play on a 3-4 day turnaround. In a major sporting tournament pool stage having games most days is essential for the tournament's flow and momentum and helps create more a festival feel and vibe.

Instead the vast majority games been all crammed into weekends more so than has been done at any previous RWC. Having a schedule of games most days for the pool stages should have been the aim but there are no Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday games at all.

Another consequence of them doing this is now way more games at extremely bad hours for the sport's biggest market in Europe. Italy vs Georgia is 3:15am in Italy and 5:15am in Georgia. Wales vs Zimbabwe is about 03:45am in Wales and 04:45am in Zimbabwe. By comparison only 2 games at the 2003 RWC started before 7am UK time, in 2027 this number will be around 18 matches including even some knockout games. This tournament has been scheduled in a vastly more unfriendly way to European and African fans (that is 50% of the competing nations) wanting to follow as many games as they can and totally unnecessarily so.

Spain's big return to the RWC is scheduled for 4:15am on a Monday. That is just crazy and hardly going to get any casual fans at all to watch. 2 of their 3 pool games are before 6:30am. WR utterly braindead scheduling has severely limited the positive impact this tournament could have had reaching new audiences in a strong potential emerging market for the sport.

Then on to the ordering of games. The first week has just one pool out of the six where the top 2 sides play each other (SA vs Italy). The opening game involves Hong Kong who are likely the weakest side at the tournament. Is this really the best way to kickoff the tournament? Compare that to the opening game of of any other RWC.
