@harriet1marsden And this is why so many people in their 20s and 30s job-hop every 12-18 months chasing *slightly* more money

@EnglandRugby Honourable mention to Baxter. There are far easier ways to make your debut than 60+ mins against the All Blacks in Dunedin.

@bbc5live @NickyAACampbell Rugby is infinitely less dangerous than these quacks, I can assure you.

[Tom Gorman @TAGorman89]

@LukeSmall88 @bbc5live @NickyAACampbell Do this and watch participation drop off a cliff when the kids inevitably get bored.

@Jimbokav1971 He doesn’t look to have a huge amount of confidence in contact, which is a bit concerning when he’s the biggest man on the park by some distance.

I don’t think we’ll see him again this tournament, it looked clear he’s not ready. Maybe in the future though.

This is probably my first time watching Posolo Tuilagi play, and so far I’m not impressed.

A man that big should not be inspecting rucks or getting pushed off turnovers that easily. Even less so at Test level.

Thoughts and prayers with whoever is stood next to Shaun Edwards right now.

He’s going to be absolutely fuming.

@lancecheek Keith Richards can’t be defined in terms of time

[Tom Gorman @TAGorman89]

@RucksSake We’re likely to be playing a centre partnership that hasn’t played together too - I I’d rather play Ford as an experienced 10. Nothing against Fin Smith, he’s a very talented player - I just think Ford will be a calmer head. If we’re well up after 50 mins, give Fin a good 30.

@miskinmatt @WalesRugby Compare the TV deal Premiership Rugby has compared to the Premier League. Rugby isn’t even comparable to football as a marketable product. Anyone who thinks otherwise is on another planet.

We are a minority sport and can’t afford reducing audiences chasing non-existent cash

@ATRightMovies A strange one, I know!

@MetroUK The UK could at least buy me dinner first…

@mattbanahan1 @IamAustinHealey @rugbyontnt Not even watching the game, and assuming Lawes is probably MOM?

@Versace Can we set up a gofundme for these girls?? They’ve clearly hit hard times.

[Tom Gorman @TAGorman89]

@pureformdsgn Looks like what I imagine a Dignitas clinic looks like

[Tom Gorman @TAGorman89]

@MikeBubbins Tough as teak and had all the talent in the world to go with it. Rugby has lost a titan of the sport. Came way before my time, but I’ve heard all about his legacy - I imagine kids will hear about it for years to come.

[Tom Gorman @TAGorman89]

@nic_swimming Personally, I love how much it seems to mean to the players and staff. If it’s important to them, by extension it must be important to rugby (or at least to home nations rugby).

[Tom Gorman @TAGorman89]

@DirtyFootbaIIer Exhibit A in the “taking one on the chin” gallery. Superb.

This guide to picking STEM majors is too good.

Especially true about chemistry and feelings on safety haha
