No dogs this time. Just my sincere thanks to all the contributors and everyone involved at @BloomsburySport & @DLuxAssociates for helping to bring this book to life. If you like your rugby, (or know someone else who does), this is for you. Thank you. https://t.co/23xZsCfLIX

So sad to hear of the death of Fergus Slattery. A legend in the game of rugby but hugely modest about his incredible achievements. My fondest memory is of an evening on tour when he told us some of his memories of 1971 and 1974. Deepest sympathy to Margot and family. Hamba Kahle.

@SBarnesRugby Mishtaken identity, Meester Bond....

If this doesn't make you smile nothing will...

Playing AC/DC’s music in retirement facilities is the way!

Lovely piece from the great man. On this particular day we'll forgive him for picking Arsenal ahead of the mighty @Wolves ....

[Donald McRae @donaldgmcrae]

This is a little self-indulgent and very personal but it's been a long old time for me and Arsenal: from apartheid to Budapest, from Swindon to Soweto and somehow ending up here, in Hungary for the Champions League final tonight, with my son @jackimmcrae

A few reflections on the @ChampionsCup final...can also heartily recommend a sunny few days in Bilbao and the Basque country. https://t.co/g2AQWR2hqD

@patrick_kidd Congrats, Patrick. Looking forward to catching up in the Champ!

Bordeaux invade the post match press conference, as they did in Cardiff last year. 'Lucu, President!' is the chant...

[Robert Kitson @robkitson]

Congrats to Union Bordeaux Bègles. They've been a pleasure to watch all season. So much so you wonder if there'll be a non-French winner of the @ChampionsCup any time soon....

[Robert Kitson @robkitson]

The oval ball game....

@KevinFCoughlan Oui...

Watercolour painting in the press box. Gotta love French rugby! Who needs a laptop?

[Robert Kitson @robkitson]

Big old game.... @Champrugby participation at stake.

[National League Rugby @Natleague_rugby]

The @Champrugby Accession Final 🆙

@LSFCOfficial 🆚 @Blackheath_1858

Will Scottish stay in the Champ or will Blackheath cap a memorable season by sealing promotion?

A fascinating contest awaits in a sweltering Bilbao.... @ChampionsCup @jjosephby https://t.co/cj69Wtd5vY

[Robert Kitson @robkitson]

Vivid colours in Bilbao ....@ChampionsCup

[Robert Kitson @robkitson]

Hugely deserved. Really pleased for both the author and his outstanding ghost.

Delighted to get over the line against a stacked field. In 40 years hv never known a more brutally honest interviewee than Bish. This is the book he wanted, he's finally had his say and that all he asked. It took 10 years to write, we both fell ill, bit it's done. Chapeau Bish

@simonjcohen Damn, that's another large drink I owe you...

Lovely tribute by @ROB_Robireland in The Herald to Scott Hastings who died of cancer complications aged just 61. (With a wee contribution from me). Scott was a blithe spirit. Hopefully the outpouring of affection and respect from a’ the airts will be of some solace to the family.
