@kingmoonmaker @CardiffRugbyWeb Really 🤔 Personally I want to see all Welsh teams doing well in Europe, but clearly by your comment you just want a scapegoat

[Simon @ChunkyRef]

@NewMiltonRFC This is a great idea…. Good job I’ve moved north or Sam would have needed a padded sofa in there

@StrathieSharks @Scotlandteam Sharing a rather lumpy crossing to Orkney with what I believe is your u18 squad. Boys being seasick, understandable in the conditions, but every time one went to the loo unwell, a teammate followed to look after them. Well done guys #AsOne

Today’s rugby adventure brought me to @GlasgowAccies firstly for a school game in the morning, and then to AR the men’s 1st XV game v. @MusselburghRFC. Time for some R&R between games!

[Simon @ChunkyRef]

Today’s welcome back game with @CaleMidsRefs a gentle leg-stretcher @StrathallanSchl 🆚 @OfficialAyrRFC u16’s fixture. With the torrential showers do you think this a strong enough view?

[Simon @ChunkyRef]

@Liam0324 There’s more than one 🤣

[Simon @ChunkyRef]

Today’s 🏉 adventure, a tremendous game between @GHArugby 2’s and @WATSONIANFC 2’s. 6 tries a piece and a 36 all draw! Who says only a bad ref gets a draw!

@calgas21 @Lance_Bradley_ @rugbygaga Or is a CEO who recognises that her area of expertise is in the boardroom and dealing with the business side, whilst bringing in other experts in their field for the rest? Only time will tell, but there will be no overnight fix

@willcarling Having watched Scrum V though Will, didn’t you lose? 😜🤣

[Simon @ChunkyRef]

@RugbyRefereeNet Thought he had a tremendous game, very clear communicaiton and dealt with the DuPont injury with a calm yet understanding manner. Well done Gus, an official we can all aspire to be like 👍

[Simon @ChunkyRef]

@MarkPalmerST I remember that days that Wales were 💩 so kept the arrogance away when we got good, because rugby is always cyclical. Ireland weren’t arrogant when they first got good, but are taking it to new levels now! Advice to any Scots wanting to be arrogant… get good first 🤣

[Simon @ChunkyRef]

@Scrum365 @LliamQ So in theory reverting back to Prem 1,2 & 3? I believe that was tried a good few years back, granted before I moved to Scotland. Considering the leagues have now finished, maybe a 12 team Prem & Championship, then a Nat 1 North & South, and then Regionals?

[Simon @ChunkyRef]

@Lance_Bradley_ Fun is an understatement considering that I know live in Scotland and know half of the appointed officials! 🤣😍

[Simon @ChunkyRef]

@CardiffRugbyWeb What I will say in Hollie’s defence is that the game will be properly reviewed and if mistakes were made they will be highlighted. I didn’t get to see the game so can’t comment on incidents, but not sure that commenting on % of home wins is particularly helpful

[Simon @ChunkyRef]

@GThomas_3 @trussliz PM for 5 minutes and in that time almost crippled the economy in one fell swoop! Not much time for anything else

[Simon @ChunkyRef]

@MrMarkBeaumont @MNDoddie5 @davezaplephoto A brilliant event, an honour to meet yourself and so many other people that achieved greatness in their respective fields, all with one common goal of finding a cure for MND. Here’s to next year 🥂

[Simon @ChunkyRef]

@ruaridh_jackson @GlasgowWarriors @MNDoddie5 Fantastic effort gents, it was a pleasure to share the road with you! Hope to see you soon around a pitch

A fantastic week riding Doddie’s Grand Tour with sporting legends everywhere… as we finished, I just had to release the hidden info to two of the greatest legends, that I was indeed the Senior Service 🤣 Amazing, from everyone involved especially Tour Captain Rob Wainwright
