@MiloradPesic @Reuters England cricketers are vaxed and spent a fortnight in hotel quarantine. So not really anything to do with the price of lamb.

@trevoryoung Try Decathlon. Have you started your preseason already?

[Ian Gilbert @gilbertsgrub]

@LoosestThe @rugbyworldcup Blanco in 87. Less so in 91 when the English pack duffed him up.

@RugbyNZ_ @rugbyworldcup Gallagher definitely. I know the Kiwis were leaps ahead with their conditioning etc, and it shouldn’t have been a surprise, but he sort of came from nowhere, then was one of the biggest rugby names around within a couple of years.

@jonsnowC4 Are you stepping down? No way! A constant in our news-watching lives.

@trojan1963 When I heard someone talk about kids buying a load of steak knives from the two pound shop or whatever, and hiding them everywhere, that’s when you know knife crime is so rife. You’re right Chris, as always - you’ve seen it and stopped it.

@maroitoje @LandRover_UK Also a pretty handy sevens team. Maybe a coaching clinic while over there?

@Tim_Burgess Harping on will get you nowhere...

[Ian Gilbert @gilbertsgrub]

@charleslavery We sure are. Melbourne. Life back to a semblance of normality here, but still looking forward to the day we can visit the UK and vice verse.

[Ian Gilbert @gilbertsgrub]

@charleslavery Trundling away. Where are you now?

[Ian Gilbert @gilbertsgrub]

@charleslavery Otherwise, you well Charlie?

[Ian Gilbert @gilbertsgrub]

@charleslavery Waitrose’s dependence on smoked salmon?

@maroitoje @EnglandRugby We’re honoured to support you @maroitoje What a brilliant bloke to have on our side; a poetry-scribbling lock, ticks many boxes.

@GoddardBooks @PrivateEyeNews Bravo! Brilliant cartoonist.

@adamhillscomedy No way! Quarantine again! Wrong time of year to do the Santa act again...
