And when England & Scotland meet in February, how about we give the man of the match the Doddie Weir medal? Keep his name and the fight to beat MND alive.
Just heard of the racist abuse hurled at Ugo at Sandy Park. This hits on a personal level because Ugo is a mate and colleague, but this is unacceptable on any level, to any person at any time and in any environment. Expose the culprit and make them answerable for this hate.
Producer Andy-”We’d like to interview Eddie Jones”
England Media Manager-”Are those chairs 2m apart?”
“Yup”
“Are you sure? We can’t take any risks”
Me - “Hold my beer, I’ve got this”

After a game the shout would go up“Five before Five!” Five swift drinks before the aforementioned hour. Today why don’t we swap pints for pounds and throw £5 in the direction

Devastated by the news that Robbie Coltrane has died. The most generous, mischievous, funny and warm-hearted man you could ever meet. So, so sad. Any time spent with him was a joy.

, I know you have shiny new phones but I really like my seemingly antiquated iPhone 6. Please don’t hit “that” button or twiddle “that” dial to make it slow down, refuse calls, shut down apps unexpectedly; basically be unusable. It’s mine, I paid for it, STOP IT!

I was treated to the glorious ensemble of Gambon, Hardy & Coltrane. Laughter & stories on an epic scale. Thank you 🙏🏼

This is a very sad day for the game and those who brought about this tragic fall should hang their heads in shame.
Not sure if it’s a 6’10” thing but I was having a conversation along the same lines as

Surely now is the time to look at a British League. The unions can no longer exist in splendid isolation. Time for a proper deep dive into the possibility.
A classy interview.

Kind of my neighbour to spare me the hassle of cutting the other hedge. His enthusiastic bonfiring took out rather more than his garden cuttings

My heart goes out to all those who have lost their club. Rugby must do better. A rugby club, any sporting club, is more than just a name and when it’s tossed aside the pain is felt on an emotional level.

Sooooo, tried to cheer up Offspring 2 who is on a working holiday in Australia. Tough time to be away, so some good news would have been welcome. Ooops.
It’s time for a Bayf’s Bedtime Story! Pull up a chair & get comfortable, I’m taking you back to where it all began, the Rec... I’m sharing all my stories from life on and off the pitch in my new book, A Very Tall Story, hit the link to get your copy. 📖
So grandad was at a sportsman’s dinner and bought a 10ft X 4ft picture of the forth rail bridge. Seemingly he forgot he could just open da blinds 🤣🤣 granny not happy with him 🤦♂️😂😂
A quick one......Pascal Gauzere dropped a couple of clangers on Saturday, clearly. Is it not grossly unfair though to expect him to communicate with his TMO, a fellow Frenchman, in English? Tough, pressure calls; and they’re fretting over their grammar.

Tom Youngs has confirmed his retirement from professional rugby.
The 35-year-old retires after making 215 appearances for Leicester Tigers, as well as gaining 28 Test caps for England and three for the British & Irish Lions.
Don't really know what to say about this... 🤷♂️

Don’t call me or my colleagues clowns!
We got two experts on the programme, one of whom is at the very centre of this debate. We posed questions and got well informed answers. Nick Easter, now coaching a community club was very much part of the process.
My view on the great Farrell debate, for what it’s worth. Penalty. Not for high tackle but for a no arms tackle. OF had just executed a text book rip of the ball in a tackle a few moments before and I believe he was trying to do it again but mistimed it; your Honour.
Big game at the Big House, 2 big teams, one huge rivalry, one exceptional cause, no excuses. Too early for xmas shopping, yes it's on

Remember, they’ve had no competitive games since first lockdown. Impressive.
A book. Excited & terrified by this. Lockdown brought into sharp relief how much rugby means to me so here’s my attempt at putting the affection I have for the game and the folk I’ve met, on paper. I hope you enjoy it. Might prop open a door or balance a table at the very least.
Final comms today for this loon. I owe him a huge debt of gratitude. He gave me massive support, advice and opportunity when I first started public speaking, stressing the need to enjoy it…

This amiable, heroic lump of a man is fighting the awful “C”. Please support him and join us at what will be a rollercoaster of a night. The very best of men deserves the very best support.
The great disappointment surrounding the postponed France v Scotland 6 Nations match is that for the first time we could justifiably have rolled out “Which French team will turn up?”
