Ben Curry and Ben Earl have taken precisely zero line-outs between them this season for their clubs.
Here's a piece on insert lifting, a tactic that is often totally missed by television coverage and might well be key to England's strategy this weekend. telegraph.co.uk/rugby-union/…

Decisive penalty was a joke – TMOs must start trusting referees
Our @TimesSport referee @robdebney talks through the decisive no arms tackle from Ben Earl & says he believes it was harsh.
Interesting wider point about TMO interventions too

Rugby gave me everything as a kid, a family, education, discipline, responsibility to others, confidence, friendship and a sense of belonging as a child…everything I am today is because of those experiences within rugby. – at Pottsville, New South Wales
Is rugby bad for kids? 🏉
A group of researchers say high-impact sports including rugby are “abusive to a child’s brain”.
They’re calling for a ban for under-18s.

Another night another zealot given the hard word
Rugby is dangerous, you can’t legislate it all away
Put systems in place to protect them (rest, limited contact and education) but let them play and appreciate that for many the risk = the reward!

Had a chance to breakdown one of the best defensive displays I have ever seen for @RTEsport this week on #againstthehead . Can’t wait to see what Jacques Nienaber does with the Leinster Defence #RWC23Final

This was an outstanding passage of play from South Africa.
- The sneaky through-the-legs pass from Faf
- the speed from Kriel through the gap
- the pop from Pollard
- the kick through and chase from De Allende
- Kwagga outsprinting Bielle-Biarrey to the ruck turnover

This red card for Tom curry is worth looking at, an accidental clash of heads has resulted in the most ridiculous red card possibly ever seen. Player safety is paramount but in a contact sport like rugby, common sense has to prevail.
The first red card of #RWC2023 has been given to England's Tom Curry following this head-on-head clash just minutes into tonight's clash vs. Argentina 👇🟥

Nice image of a lineout from the @top14rugby weekend. Shows the amount of trust the jumper needs to have in his lifters to win a contested throw.
