Adrian Hadley, @WalesRugbyL & @WelshRugbyUnion winger said “League is much, much more physical than Union, & that's before anyone starts breaking the rules.” Would @sflamont agree? Come to #Kingsholm on Sun 11 September to decide for yourself #battleofthecodes @gloucesterrugby

@jbanningww1 @BernardLewis8 Sorry to have missed this, but looks as though you’ve now know where you were. Sing after me - “One Nation…”

Of the 16,000 New Zealanders who died in #ww1, 93 are buried in the quiet #hampshire churchyard of St Nicholas, Brockenhurst. Our @Rugbyforheroes walkers will pay their respects here on 5th June. #r4hwarwalk #rugbyremembers @AllBlacks @ZinzanBrooke8 @miketindall13 @MrNickKnowles

Lost in action #onthisday 1915 at #Ypres, @Blackheath_1858 & @IrishRugby centre Basil Maclear. Described as “a lion of the game”. His Royal Dublin Fusiliers were surrounded and gassed outside Ypres, and Maclear was killed leading a breakout.

To all our friends back in the UK. Enjoy the easing of the lockdown. The Rum Ration doors are still closed but we’re looking forward to the day when guests return to the Somme Battlefields.

The 8 Men In A Van challenge is back on! In July, a team will run non-stop around the Welsh coastline - some 1400km. Then the team will continue 285km along the length of the Welsh-English border, completing the loop.

Today the Prime Minister breaks his 2019 election promise to the Armed Forces and to the country to “maintain the size of our Armed Services” by cutting Army numbers by 10,000.

@MichaelJohnCh11 Give you a shout in a couple of weeks to chat about it?

[singlestep @singlesteptours]

@MichaelJohnCh11 Really enjoyed “How’s your Dad?”. Top stuff. Using it as an example of sports lit as part of the MA course I’ve started.

[singlestep @singlesteptours]

@MichaelJohnCh11 Ah...heroes of the dim and distant...all good with you?

[singlestep @singlesteptours]

@TommiesGuides @jbanningww1 @1418research And all this assumes France/Belgium happy to follow our lead.

[singlestep @singlesteptours]

@jbanningww1 @TommiesGuides @1418research So school groups unlikely before end of year - quite apart from the likelihood that lead teachers will find it difficult to launch trips at their schools with so much still unclear.

[singlestep @singlesteptours]

A great trip. Hope to get back there one day...
