RIP - The Judge. My great friend Paul Rendall died today. In the maelstrom of the international front row, he looked after me, and we developed a bond that all front row players know is special. He was a great man, a superb technician, and I will miss him greatly.

A second fish today, but more important than that, a first ever salmon! Listen to what this means to people. We must never lose sight of the importance of these fish and the passion they bring. Well done Tommo. Your dad was looking on with pride. – at Scotland, United Kingdom

A sea-liced 9lb’er for James this morning. A great display of fly casting and more importantly fly fishing, which was happily rewarded in very challenging condition of strong, blustery winds. – at Scotland, United Kingdom

Dreadful virtue signalling, especially shocking given the council has overspent by £2.1 million this year. No doubt they will be raising council tax next year as well. Nothing wrong with a balanced diet that prioritises seasonal vegetables and fantastic British dairy and meat!

People don’t pay enough for their food. ⬇️
“People simply don’t pay enough for their food. Prices have to go up.” @JeremyClarkson says becoming a farmer has made him realise the ‘appalling’ strains the industry faces. Listen on @GlobalPlayer 👉 bit.ly/3i9S6G9 @maitlis | @jonsopel | @JeremyClarkson

A giant of our game - on and off the field - who will never be forgotten. The thoughts of all at Leicester Tigers are with the Weir family, as well as Doddie’s friends and teammates. 🙏

Me and my mate got suspended for drinking on the bus on the way to this game. I had to watch the game sat next to the headmaster pissed out my head. His breath stunk. You live and you learn. Cheers

Splendid.
Farmers have positioned their tractors to form a guard of honour for the late Queen Elizabeth II as she passes through Aberdeenshire on her way to Edinburgh.

🥰 WHY WE LOVE RUGBY 🥰 Madagascar 7s could only take one kit with them to their inaugural #RWC7s due to self-funding, the same kit for both training and matches. After seeing this, the #Aussie7s women donated their alternate jersey to Madagacsar to use as a training kit 👏
