A final piece of advice from Holly Butcher - written the day before she passed away from cancer at just 27:

“It’s a strange thing knowing you’re going to die young.

At 26, I thought I had time…
To fall in love.
Start a family.
Grow old.

But cancer doesn’t care about plans.

Now, I understand how fragile life really is. Every single day is a gift, not a guarantee.

I’m not writing this to scare you. I’m writing to remind you: really live.

Stop stressing over little things. Be kind to your body- move it, nourish it, stop criticizing it. One day you’ll wish you had appreciated it.

Go outside.
Look at the sky.
Feel the sun.
Just be.

Spend less time chasing “stuff” - more time making memories. Don’t skip moments with people you love.

Laugh more.
Write a note.
Tell someone you love them.

Complain less.
Give more.
Helping others brings more joy than anything you can buy.

Be present.
Put your phone down.
Show up - really show up.

You don’t need to have it all figured out. You don’t need a perfect body, or a perfect life.

Just follow what makes your heart light up. Say no to what drains you. Make changes when you need to.

And please - donate blood. I wouldn’t have had that extra year without it. And that year gave me memories I’ll hold close… forever.

Thank you for reading this.
Live your life well.

And maybe… we’ll meet again someday.”

@Hill66Murray @GoodBadRugby They did. They were told to hoof the ball away and run after it, and that’s what they did. Did it work? No. Was it a tough watch? Yes. Was it a coached gameplan? Clearly otherwise the coaches would have hauled players off

@Official_JAH @IamAustinHealey And Kickleswick

[GDZ Sport @GDZSport]

@notthatGraeme @IamAustinHealey Yes. 1980s muddy pitch rugby

[GDZ Sport @GDZSport]

@IamAustinHealey It’s been poor for a while

[GDZ Sport @GDZSport]

Well done Italy

[GDZ Sport @GDZSport]

@JHJCSports @FogartyJack Cards are getting silly these days. Not what was intended when introduced.

[GDZ Sport @GDZSport]

@Christianjw92 @Jackshitstorm Yes. Spoiling games. And at grassroots too. Need to look at the laws re cards. Last resort not first. And maybe not bin as sanction. See what other sports do

[GDZ Sport @GDZSport]

@Christianjw92 Why no warning before Arundell first? Oh well. Scotland better atm

[GDZ Sport @GDZSport]

@Christianjw92 @Jackshitstorm I don’t know. Rugby survived over 100 years until 2001 without cards. Then with head injury’s more cards. Now it’s just cards for fun. In that case make it like football and a warning not a bin.

[GDZ Sport @GDZSport]

@Jackshitstorm @Christianjw92 Scotland worthy of the lead

[GDZ Sport @GDZSport]

@RugbyInsideLine Fake yellow card after 6 mins

[GDZ Sport @GDZSport]

@jonallenpt Yes. I’d love that card to be explained as it makes no sense

[GDZ Sport @GDZSport]

@Jackshitstorm @Christianjw92 100% agree. As much as I 100% believe the first yellow was an absolute travesty.

[GDZ Sport @GDZSport]

@Christianjw92 I’m not sure you’d jump to land dangerously for yourself. He attacked the ball.

[GDZ Sport @GDZSport]

@njwoodward Incredible decision, let alone getting a card out for it

[GDZ Sport @GDZSport]

@The_fusse Shocking. Bordeaux looking great. But that was poor call.

Also yellow card for Kate tackle NOR. No yellow for Kate tackle BOR.

Too many cards.

[GDZ Sport @GDZSport]

@fergalcol @Outhalf None. Think TMO had though
