Thursday night #SixNations games might not please traditionalists, but my social media feeds have been full of grassroots clubs having midweek socials after/instead of training. Here’s hoping we get more of same in the future.
Given the rotation, given the opposition, given the on-field adversity, that has to be one of the finest away wins in the PREM this decade. Compelling viewing.
And yes, I’m utterly biased.

🌹🆚🇦🇷 never fails.
That was a proper Test, just like the two in the summer, RWC pool stage and 2022 🇦🇷 win at HQ.
Los Pumas have fast become my second team, so much passion, physicality and at times, breathtaking skill.
Imagine a fully-loaded 3 Test tour in Argentina 😮💨
How amazing did Wales make that Haka look with the dramatic lighting? Looked stunning on TV, probably even better inside the stadium.
Now imagine a New Zealand match without it. No thank you.
Absolute respect to @stephanshemilt - I don’t think I’ve ever read such consistently brilliant sports reporting from one single individual. Insanely knowledgeable, entertaining, colourful and insightful.
Be sure to follow his Ashes content.

While it was a horror show for Scotland in the second half, that turnaround from
Argentina must go down as one of the finest in Test rugby history. It was sheer joy to watch, nigh on unstoppable.
England have got a battle on their hands next week.
@MatuaKahurangi Listen to the roar as England come forward. Pure sporting theatre. There’s no fatigue there. The response of 82000 is emphatic. Challenge made, challenge accepted. Long live the haka. Such a non debate.
Such sad news about Barney. A larger-than-life character. I’m sure any member of the press who worked Wasps games will remember him well. Never forget him belting out 🇮🇪 anthem (vs 🏴 !) at Ricoh. Or his faultless Shakespearean monologue to test a camera once.
RIP Barney.
