Le Stade Jonny Wilkinson after a day with South Africa. A shame places like this & Clermont aren’t on the World Cup rota. Let’s get them hosting a plate competition for tier two teams who don’t make the quarter-finals. The winner gets automatic qualification next time.

Me too……best advice, leave early & walk to the stadium. Do not use the metro, taxi, or enjoy a few local drinks. And bring hiking boots for the steps! However it’s well worth the wait, what an atmosphere!
We got there nice and early. However climbing those incredibly steep steps to the main entrance was horrendous! My ticket was scanned twice at two entrance points…why = further delays. Match KO and we were surrounded by empty seats. Flood of people arrived 15 mins later!!
This is the scene outside the Stade Vélodrome as thousands of fans try to make kick off. Looks absolutely horrendous.
If you’re in the queue, let me know what’s going on.

@jimhamilton4 Origin rugby is unbelievable. From a English union man having lived in Sydney this means everything to both states. Lucky to have seen King Wally Lewis play, Lang Park……never missed watching from my sofa in a London since! Keep it league, it’ll never work in Union.
Today, and always, we remember the 97 supporters who lost their lives in the Hillsborough tragedy.
We offer our love and support to all those affected by the tragedy on this very difficult day. You’ll Never Walk Alone.
@lionsofficial Kings Park Durban 1997. I was there…..biggest after party ever!! Got to bed at 8am. All the players were there mixing with fans. Beautiful weather & victory = amazing memories!!
Congrats to the @Scotlandteam on their win over @EnglandRugby today. Fully deserved the victory and that try alone by Van der Merwe was a sight to behold and deserved to win any game!
Emerging from his much regretted lost decades as a junky, David Crosby began recording like a man who knew his time was short.
This "salute" to his musical heroes Steely Dan was astonishing.

@DavidCheng1968@AlexMLowe@TimesSport Yep a very interesting read. Theo is a pioneer in this area of player recruitment from other sports. Plus the super BUCS league has been a breeding ground for sometime which will change the thinking of Prem/Champ clubs with this reduced cap. Fantastic news all round!!!
Roebucks Academy are recruiting players for the 22/23 season. If you’re a 6th former in South London and are at a non rugby-playing school/college, we could be the place for you! More details can be found here:

Sad news with @Blackheath_1858 being relegated from Nat 1 but the reality is it’s been coming as the club has lost their way…Need to overhaul the off pitch structure and the club strategy to give the on pitch the best chance to build and bounce back.
