Cannot stand stand far left or far right. Life is about balance and nuance.

@BBCSport Football is a trillion dollar industry. If they needed players to be as strong as rugby players, we would see it on the pitch.
Football requires more endurance and fast bursts. Benefits to be on the lighter side. No point carrying an extra 15kg if you're not using it!

@thepenGW Jeez that is a baaaad look.

Scotland, Scotland, Scotland.

What a game of rugby and result for our northern neighbours.
Thoroughly deserved it and a bit of a shame to let in so many late tries.

The whole nation will have a hangover in the morning.

@SouthGowerRFC Insane to do this with those heavy leather balls and no proper kicking tee. The force required must be massive. Fair play to the guy.

@rugby_ap Protecting that 10 channel

@dallaglio8 Sorry for your loss Laurence. Hope you raise a glass of something nice in his memory today.
I'm sure he was a wonderful father and you can spend today remembering the great times together.

@_HenryBolton @Acyn @PeteHegseth @USMC It's not just those we lost, it's the ongoing burden felt by the many that served.
I lost a rugby teammate because he lost 2 close friends in the war. Blown up in front of him, and he was injured also. He just couldn't cope when he came home.
To say we didn't step up is obscene.

[Henry Stapleton @henrystapleton]

@RashidyTweets @RugbyInsideLine Exactly. If you want another centre, and he is a quality player, you have to give him time in that position.

[Henry Stapleton @henrystapleton]

@mark_bonnar Can't wait to hear you on Chatabix with Joe Wilkinson and David Earl!!

I'm sure you'll get plenty animated again.

[Henry Stapleton @henrystapleton]

@JasonManford Absolutely mate.
I own a small Heating company and employed Indian, french and Spanish staff. Unusual in the trades.
Only dickheads that commented on my multicultural staff only did about the Indian employee. You know that it's not about being foreign. It's about colour. Dicks.

@andrewfrugby Always love to see Trevor Leota in a hits complication!

While we’re talking about politicians and tax, a reminder that Nigel Farage works for a company that exists to help rich people avoid tax.

@binghach @Stonkytonk2 @nrlphysio Spot on. I've seen plenty of men shed tears when they have bad injuries. A broken jaw is not to be sniffed at. And like you, I've seen men cry at the end of games, I've seen men cry when sent off in big matches even at low level rugby. Shock horror men and women can have emotions

[Henry Stapleton @henrystapleton]

@PaulD259596 @TightFive_Rugby I'd drop Hughes, move Lol to 8 and put prime Tom Rees onto one of the flanks. Hard to leave out Worsley and Volley.
Could have Dawson at 9 also.

[Henry Stapleton @henrystapleton]

@TightFive_Rugby Absolutely love it. They all looked wicked

[Henry Stapleton @henrystapleton]

@Tgarratt10 The way he totally understood what his friend needed, and did it without making a scene, is remarkable.
Simply expressed how great the picture was, while looking directly at his friend with a supportive hand on him. Wonderful.

[Henry Stapleton @henrystapleton]

@AllBlacks Fair play, that's mustard

[Henry Stapleton @henrystapleton]

@LeadworkSW I have rudimentary leadwork skills, having only done a few jobs since college 20 yes ago, and I would be embarrassed by the quality of this work. Shocking

[Henry Stapleton @henrystapleton]

@rugbytomc @TightFive_Rugby Yeah I expect they want the Aussies to spend 50 mins against a shire horse then face a rampaging bullock for the last 30. Gives Genge licence to empty his tank in a short period which is scary to think about.

@bolderston_mark I love stuff like this. The constant abandonment of classic design has led to beige "appeal to as many as possible without actually being attractive" products. When something different comes along it always sells. VW bug, Fiat 500, mini cooper. All a bit crap but sold loads.
