Nonsense. We have several elite drinkers and there were a number of high performances on our tour to Amsterdam.

The words “Elite” and “High Performance” do not belong anywhere in Grassroots sport.

As far as the big 4 West Country teams are concerned, only Gloucester has a Conservative MP. Bath is Lib Dem, Bristol and Exeter are Labour. Not entirely Tory heartlands then.

With rugby union & racing the big winners, has the £300m sports bail-out been targeted at more middle-class sports, popular in affluent Conservative heartlands, as some critics are suggesting? Culture Secretary @OliverDowden denied that when I asked him

@Murray_Kinsella So why didn’t they announce it earlier? Now looks as if they’ve crumbled under the weight of public opinion. Should have been proactive.

There are junior clubs all over England struggling to stay alive, desperate for players and funds. How about spreading some of the love? #Saracens

@rugby_ap The claims about an alleged hysteria over the Farrell affair are getting…er…hysterical. He made a bad tackle, people said “That’s bad”. He had the red card rescinded, people said “That’s wrong”. World Rugby announced an appeal. people said “Good”.

It’s May the fourth! Fun Fact: Arnold Ridley, our founding Chairman and Private Godfrey in Dad’s Army, is the Great Uncle of Daisy Ridley, Rey in Star Wars. Happy Sulians Day, everybody! May the forwards be with you! #StarWarsDay

None. None at all. World Rugby should make a commitment to leave the laws alone for at least 10 years.

Incredibly?! I played in all three front-row positions and didn’t have Bakkies and Matfield behind me. Could Smit hack it on a wet afternoon at Old Culverhaysians? I doubt it.

No criticism of any club who can’t raise a side, we’ve been there ourselves & no doubt will again. Just highlighting quite how bad the situation is. 3/5 Somerset 1 games not played yesterday. Our last 3 League games have been HWOs to us. We’re a rugby club, we want to play rugby.
