@brettruganalyst As always, fascinating.

My impression was that Saints kicked some strange and meaningless kicks in the second half that didn't amount to much, noted by one of the comms team.

Is there a stat on good kick v poor kick outcomes?

Just remember, the law book says nothing about the hands.

It is the arms that you need to focus on.

ITALY COMPLETELY ROBBED!

There’s no way this is not a try. Hollie Davidson should overrule the TMO here based on the evidence of physics. The assistant referee is also in a good position to make the call.

Be honest, how many of you said hands!

[Dan Cottrell @Dan_Cottrell]

To judge this, you need to know the exact letter of the law on this.

I bet most will quote something incorrect.

I would have a month ago!

For me, this is why I don’t like watching France at home. Nothing ever gets called back not by the TMO, not by the match officials on the field.

I think the French are the worst when it comes to the spirit of the game.

If you did have a large sum of money to invest, what would you spend your money on to revitalise your country's game?

"Invest in your juniors"

[John Davidson @johnnyddavidson]

Johns: "Invest in your juniors, put a whole lot of money into kids, identify the best kids at 13, 14, 15 & 16, teach them a style of play that is unique to the north of England, piss off all the imports coming in who are reserve-graders in Australia."

A golden ticket to coaching

[Tom Rogers @RogersHistory]

How do you establish these meaningful relationships with students everyone seems to say are the golden ticket in teaching?

Erm….. try teaching! seriously, just teach!

Passion for your subject radiates - children recognise it and hook into that passion.

Providing a safe learning space - you consistently provide an environment for learning, through fair and consistent boundaries, being assertive when you need to be.

You teach really good lessons, often - Lessons that spring out, stories that might draw laughter but stay in the memory, activities and resources that are genuinely cool, thinking about the learning experience.

The myth is that the relationships are more often than not forged through being overly nice or like another friend. Never saying no. Having banter. Caving into demands. Forfeiting actual teaching preferring to just have chats, trying to turn every moment into a therapy session that a child may not want or need. This is a myth.

Teaching is an amazing job and if it’s done well, an ‘over time’ default side effect will be the relationships that outsiders tell you are the key to everything.

Good night!

"Things that did no good whatsoever"

Genius @olicav from Ben Newmark.

Most US schools make teachers do every one of these!

Not exaggerating.

[Dan Cottrell @Dan_Cottrell]

@RugbyCollective I hope Loader doesn't see this.

I bet he is trying his very hardest to be the best version he can be.

We need to be careful how we treat any sports person.

[Dan Cottrell @Dan_Cottrell]

@grahamsmith36 What a game. Best of the year for me.
