Being able to select Oxlade-Chamerlaim at right back allowed me to snatch glory from the jaws of mediocrity 🥳
I built a game for @FourFourTwo – all you have to do is select an XI that has scored 442 goals in Premier League history.
Lot of work went into this: should you keep you occupied for the long international break (or at the very least, your lunch break)

Head’s on the wrong side

He doesn’t really ‘bulldoze’ though - he runs a clever line & goes over almost untouched. There’s a tendency in the media to typecast Sione as a bruiser instead of an all-court playmaker. As if people’s expectations of a Tongan surname maybe overpower the evidence of their eyes
Sione Tuipulotu bulldozes in for the Lions 💪🔥
Just what you'd expect from the @GlasgowWarriors wrecking ball 🏗️

.@TEnglishSport mostly enjoying your dispatches from Australia but it’s a bit pot-kettle of you to whinge about ‘mixed messages’ when you -seemingly unilaterally- ruled Blair Kinghorn out of the first test in two different articles over the weekend when he’s still in contention!
Shout out @Darcy_Graham and @AndyBurke_ for the convo about Darcy’s head injury on the pod.
Fantastic example for young players (& coaches etc) to hear a world class player being so thoughtful and sensible about brain health even when it means missing rugby.
Going to make a shocking prediction that despite his terror at having to play rugby in this scorched alien netherworld he will still be *quite good* ™️

Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Context: A UoM study used a tool called the Health Nutritional Index to estimate the impact of food on health. While it calculated potential "minutes of life lost or gained" based on diet, these are broad statistical models, not precise, real-life predictions.

Hey @jimhamilton4 - heard you say again on the Pod that 🏴 have nothing coming through - I’ve done a deep dive into how our team might look come 2028 6N that puts that theory to the test. Would love your thoughts: substack.com/home/post/p-152…
My first bit of rugby writing in nearly 10 years: can @Scotlandteam stay competitive for another World Cup cycle, or are we approaching a cliff-edge when the current cohort move on? substack.com/home/post/p-152…
Would love thoughts of @TEnglishSport @AndyBurke_ @will_owen9 @SquidgeRugby @ROB_Robireland @MarkPalmerST @glove931 @JLyall93 @ScotRugbyNews @ScotRugbyBlog @ScotRugbyPod @theoffsideline if anyone has 5 mins to read about how Scotland might be looking in 2028!
Jokes aside this is deluded rubbish in both cases. For past major tournament cycle, 🏴 ⚽️ & 🏉 men’s teams have been the same distance from the best teams which is *quite far*. Focus should be on bridging the gap whilst we have okay squads & coaches should be honest about that
I’m sure the world’s top football and rugby nations are positively cowering at this fierce show of national unity 🏴 😂

Following my previous reflections on Liam Payne, I was invited to explore the toxicity of fame in a piece for The Guardian.
Fame isn’t just lights and applause—it can be an isolating and damaging force.
