What is sport coming to? It’s not society in general, please let’s not wrap it in cotton wool. @EllisGenge interview was brilliant. Him being him. Shock, rugby players sips beer after a win. If that offends you I suggest you watch bowls from now on. 💤 #SixNations

Boarded my flight back to London. Girl sat with her Dad a couple along from me in Wales shirts. “Are you English?” Me: “Yes” Her: “Well go & sit somewhere further down can you” Granted she sort of laughed. Not as much as I did when 20 minutes later she puked on herself. #karma 😜

Am I missing something? Scottish Rugby’s Chief Exec Mark Dodson has doubled his pay packet from just over £450K to just over £930K. That’s in a year when Scotland didn’t get out of their World Cup group & at a time when they are losing players they can’t afford to keep.
