Uk & Ireland entrants only. Good Luck.
Great opportunity to join a fantastic club and culture!
Awesome fun pre-season session for a mixed group of U12/13/14 players @CobhamRFC. Strong U12 squad of about 50, but as we’re running 3 x teams including a Development team, places available for new or experienced players who fancy joining! Especially neighbours @cobhamfreeschl
Clearest, most objective article in response to the changes announced yesterday by @RFU . Take the time to read and digest as Ross knits together the trials and research across last 6 yrs. No hysteria and a chance to understand. Esp. after legal claim from amateur rugby y’day.
Legal tackle height is being lowered to the waist in Eng. A decision 6 years in the making, & justified by evidence of risk, but criticized as unnecessary & unevidenced. I wrote this to explain how we got here, & to commend France for leading the way: patreon.com/posts/lowering-l…

Great to see someone who took the brave, harder road to prove himself in NZ make this progress. Mind you, he does have a strong pedigree @daithi_regan , even if from a smaller ball sport...😜
Otago are flying in the Mitre 10 Cup this year with five wins in seven games so far.
23-year-old Birr man Jack Regan, formerly of the Ulster academy, has been a key man in the second row. #IrishAbroad
Striking how @JoeBiden understands America’s positive role in what John Hume and others achieved in Ireland compared to the ignorance in such matters by the incumbent.
John Hume committed his life to the principles of nonviolence, and through his faith, statesmanship, and perseverance, he helped bring Northern Ireland through the Troubles to a better tomorrow. Jill and I send our condolences to the entire Hume family. medium.com/@JoeBiden/my-stat…

Hi Chuck, ER doc here,
We’re not lying. It’s actually really horrible to see people die from COVID19.
And it’s not about the election. It’s actually still about the dying thing. And it’s preventable.
ps the economy only comes back when we manage COVID.
pss I’m also sick of it
