Today in 1945, George Orwell published a devastating critique of Communism.
Animal Farm reveals why every communist revolution follows the same tragic pattern: liberation to corruption to oppression.
Here are 10 truths from Animal Farm Orwell warned us never to forget 🧵👇🏼
Eddie Jones on a problem he believes school rugby has at the moment👇
🗣"We've got alot of kids now not being taught by teachers their being taught by ex professionals... Were trying to turn high school teams into high performance teams when it should just be about development."
Brian Ashton - Remember we coach people👇
🗣"As a coach you’re coaching people who just happen to have a talent for playing rugby. But fundamental you’re coaching people. You not only take care of the technical/tactical side but also the emotional side"
This is very good by Russell & Freeman. They spotted how slow Australia were getting back into their restart shape. No Gold jersey in the 22m . #AUSvBIL#Lions2025
The day England Rugby Schools - Services to Schools Rugby Award winner 2025 - Trafalgar School's, Mark Lerpiniere - was surprised with a celebration, assembly arranged by his school, the Y11 🏉 players & parents. A great teacher & a fab celebration👏
Congrats to Mr Lerpiniere, Trafalgar Sch, Wilts & Mr Morris formerly Budmouth Sch, Dorset. Who are at Twickenham tomoro for Eng Rugby Schools Awards lunch & Eng v Fra match.
Both receiving, well deserved, Services to Schools Rugby Awards. Have a fab day.👏
Really liked how Northampton set up their attack. Very smart to Split the defence/Avoid the "smash zone”/flat passes/create 6v4s - play a smaller game. Great coaching plan & execution #LEIvNOR
🇫🇷 A possible weak point of the new rules at the line out.
A throw will only be called as not straight if it is contested by the opposition, meaning this smart move is legal.
Not sure how long it will stay that way!
Blue skies & lots of smiles😁, today, as girls from Trafalgar school rugby playing & Salisbury Rfc, were at Bath Rugby's Farleigh House today, for a fab day of rugby. 👏 to Mike Fordham & Maria Crowfoot, Bath & Mr Lerpiniere,Traf Sch & JasYarwood Salis rfc
