@WheresTommyV That’s a shorter trip for me than I normally make! I’ll see you Friday night, Tom!

[Jack Coates @BrixBay]

@TGE_LDNM Time to introduce you to another animal of ours, Tom. This is Tordillo, a former riding school horse we rescued in Abu Dhabi. We moved him to The UK just yesterday to enjoy his retirement in grassy fields rather than being constantly ridden in the heat, where he really struggled

[Jack Coates @BrixBay]

@TGE_LDNM Excellent time for a Goose & Daphne update for you Tom, live from Abu Dhabi. There is no place bad enough for those who abandon their pets 👍🏻

@CharlieFelix Up there with Leinster away earlier this year. The challenge now is competing on two fronts over a period of time. Saw last season that being competitive in Europe came at the expense of The Prem. Do we now have a squad to challenge both? I think so!

[Jack Coates @BrixBay]

As good as an away performance with a rotated side as you’ll ever see. @SaintsRugby you beauties!

[Jack Coates @BrixBay]

@Rawdogg15 Signed a new contract a couple of weeks ago along with Dowson and James Craig. Arguably the best bit of business we’ll do all season.

[Jack Coates @BrixBay]

@WheresTommyV See you Friday night, Tom!

[Jack Coates @BrixBay]

@WheresTommyV Bristol away in November will be without internationals I assume? Groundhog Day 😵‍💫

[Jack Coates @BrixBay]

@cornwall_fraser @ajsrugby Or as we are in direct comparison with France, we can claim (just this once) to be “Angleterre”

[Jack Coates @BrixBay]

@RugbyInsideLine Russell seen with an ice pack on his wrist when he was replaced. Perhaps worse than everyone first thought?

[Jack Coates @BrixBay]

@WheresTommyV That was allot of fun! The future looks very promising.
Thanks for all your work this season as always Tommy, see you at The Gardens after the summer!

[Jack Coates @BrixBay]

@WheresTommyV Excellent cover, Tommy. I suspect he’ll have plenty of game time next season with Fin being away on international duty, and maybe the first stretch of the new season (we’ll find out in a few hours!)

[Jack Coates @BrixBay]

Right now is a good time to highlight the fact his name is “Fin” Smith, not “Finn.”

@neilfissler @SaintsRugby @CoventryRugby Wonderfully old school! Losing the scrum? Just kick your opposite man in the knee for him to play till half time eventually coming off with ligament damage. Great position names as well “Open side wing forward.” And Richmond v Quins, what a derby!

[Jack Coates @BrixBay]

@BinYaminCrypto @TGE_LDNM Thank you for your kind words, much appreciated.

[Jack Coates @BrixBay]

@TeslaJLP @TGE_LDNM Best - Tax free salary & safety. Worst - weather during June/July/August (rest of the year is glorious.)
Specific to Abu Dhabi as well is its much more chilled than Dubai. Less to do sure, but a far more relaxing place to live.

[Jack Coates @BrixBay]

@TGE_LDNM UAE has its frustrations and isn’t for everyone - but works for us. England will always be home - Thankful to have a place in such a lovely village that hasn’t changed in about 300 years. Tbh if I’m with my Wife and Dogs I’m happy. Wherever that may be.

[Jack Coates @BrixBay]

@WheresTommyV You’re the bearer of bad news, Tom! Girona is quickly becoming my least favourite place. And if any fixtures deserves full strength squads it’s Quins v Saints! But what a game yesterday!

[Jack Coates @BrixBay]

@WheresTommyV Excellent win! Thanks for everything this year Tom, as always!
Hopefully catch you at The Gardens for Munster, finally getting over this season!
