@TheStroBro @Scotlandteam @GaryGoldrugbyiq @RugbyEvangelist @lizardrugby @philterrigno @scott_stevie @collinstony Most definitely. The episodes are short: 10-15mins. I line them up in a playlist.

@TheStroBro @Scotlandteam @GaryGoldrugbyiq @RugbyEvangelist @lizardrugby @philterrigno @scott_stevie @collinstony will explain further on his website, podcast, and in his books.

@TheStroBro @Scotlandteam @GaryGoldrugbyiq @RugbyEvangelist @lizardrugby @philterrigno @scott_stevie Scrums were one of the reasons rugby league broke away and changed its rules. The leaguies wanted commercial viability and they considered scrums and line outs boring.

@The1014Rugby Happy new year to Gareth and Steve. You guys had some 2018 but I still expect your 2019 to top that. I wish you prosperity and good health and, most importantly, happiness for the New Year.

Passion, integrity, respect.

@RugbyPodcast Is it really “jumping the tackle” to step over a rolling barrel headed towards you?

[Laurence Hooper @laurencehooper]

@thedeadballarea @RugbyInsideLine Quite right. In fact, the law *requires* that the player penalized in a penalty try receive a yellow card. If there is no named offender, e.g. a collapsed maul, no card needed. But a scrum collapse usually has an official culprit and he shd have seen yellow.

[Laurence Hooper @laurencehooper]

@Jbeardmore Move to the US of A. A rugby subscription to @NBCSportsGold allows you to watch *all* the Prem games live and/or on demand. And you’d do well here. Betcha’d make a lot more than in Brexitland.

@rugbystig @bloodandmud @RugbyPodcast @bathrugbyplug @flatsandshanks @rugby_ie @OffTheBallRugby @HouseOfRugby @rugbyruckus @sumostevenson Yep. One with Stephen Jones. The other contributors are worth it and he’s much more engaging on a podcast than on here.

[Laurence Hooper @laurencehooper]

@rugbystig @bloodandmud @RugbyPodcast @bathrugbyplug +1 on @flatsandshanks once it gets to the actual rugby.
The Ruck peddles good contrarianism https://t.co/ejYKocpCvf
+1 for @rugby_ie
Also good from IRE @OffTheBallRugby @HouseOfRugby.
Great analysis from AUS on @rugbyruckus
For NZ can’t beat @sumostevenson on the Short Ball.

@TheStroBro Good work Aaron! I checked out the program page online and the MSLB looks like a really well thought out and valuable credential. More to the point: podcasts on US rugby will now have additional sports law nuggets. Hurrah!

[Laurence Hooper @laurencehooper]

@willgkelleher @ChampionsCup No. It’s not. Plus, to my eyes, England-based players look less skillful and more hulking.

[Laurence Hooper @laurencehooper]

@Jbeardmore Suits you sir. Ooh sir.

[Laurence Hooper @laurencehooper]

Thanks so much to all who responded. The consensus seems clear: rephrase the text and cite the earlier essay.👨‍💻🙃😫🙏🙏🤩

Dear #AcademicTwitter, What is the rule for when you are making a point in a new publication that you've already made in print? A three-sentence paragraph, say. Can you copy and paste with a citation? Or do you have to rewrite it?

@messyjez @guerillacricket @WACA_Cricket @melindafarrell @plalor What is it with Usman Khawaja and the Aussie commentators? They seem in awe of his talents, which have always looked modest to me.

Dear @ProfessorIsIn

A question for you and your followers. Retweets would be much appreciated.

Yes. You can write me down as “strongly in favor” of laterals. #MajorLeagueRugby #NoMiracleToMe

@EaglesOverseas @NBCSportsGold @NBCSN Great work @eaglesoverseas!

[Laurence Hooper @laurencehooper]

@bloodandmud @MikeBubbins @joshgardner Stoked that you picked up Danny Barrett’s monstrous try. One very important point about it is that he’s not bumping off twelve-year-olds but All Blacks. Changes the calculus a little... #BeastMode #USAeagles

Want to know what BEAST MODE looks like?

This. Right. Here. Wow.
