My sister, age 40 is battling with stage 4 cancer, this awful disease has spread throughout out her entire body. She is fighting everyday knowing it could be any day… is she a “lesser mortal” what a stupid headline.

One of the toughest conversations I’ve had to date. Thanks for delivering it so well Nik.
Brave and powerful words from Luther Burrell. He shares his experiences of racism in rugby changing rooms, witnessing jokes about slave shackles and bananas. I was shocked to hear his stories. Hopefully this exposes uncomfortable truths and empowers change

Nobody should be accepting this abhorrent behaviour, ! It really saddens me, I can only imagine he feels ostracised, for his teammates to behave like this, for them to snigger while he opens a wrapped banana as a gift is cruel, it’s inhumane. now it’s damage control for them 😤.

For different reasons I’ve spoken to this man weekly, since we left newcastle & babaas his attitude and mindset is inspirational. Works incredibly hard and stays incredibly disciplined, this doesn’t surprise me at all. Congratulations @mikebrown_15 point proven 👏 legend.
"It's tough sometimes that people use age as an excuse to write you off.". Age is just a number 🙏. How good was it to see @mikebrown_15 on the rugby field once again 🙌. #GallagherPrem #LEIvSAR

George Furbank, balanced and composed - reminding me of certain Ben Foden when he was in his prime. Has to be more than considered this 6nations surely… 🏴.

Firstly I hope my man Rob Horne has a speedy recovery. Secondly, that was one hell of a shift from the lads. Having never won there myself, I’m buzzing to have got that W under my belt. Thanks for the support #coys congrats @ehren_painter.

Some small detail - your back 3 players are generally best at high ball retention, wingers should not be telling your 9 to fetch. Early pass to 9, belt it up in the air and wingers go contest… use your special skill set!

I would like to take this opportunity to express my thanks to @danroan and @BBCSport for allowing me to express my thoughts on what’s been a heavy few months. I hope this whole story empowers others and as and institution we can be better. 🙏🏽.
TV Exclusive.“To call anybody a slave is not funny…it was abhorrent. It affects my dignity”. Ex-England star @lutherburrell .tells me he’s “proud” after 8 month RFU investigation finds his claims of racist abuse in rugby were true. More on @BBCBreakfast.

Manchester is the largest regional corporate finance and stockbroking centre in England. No2 richest city in Britain. Leeds, Liverpool & Newcastle all have had huge injections on their financial economy - we are doing the bare minimum to grow the sport in the north…. (1/2).
A radical move to bring together Sale Sharks with Newcastle Falcons – and potentially Doncaster or Leeds Tykes – to create a new Premiership team called ‘The North’ has been proposed by Mick Hogan. My two-page interview feature with @MickHogan2 is in today's @TheRugbyPaper 🏉🗞️

Although this has been looming, without doubt the past 2 seasons have brought the Huddersfield public together. Huge achievement for the club & town, created history & fans should be proud. @SeanMJarvis @htafcdotcom.
Huddersfield's two-season stint in the Premier League is over - they have been relegated to the Championship. Live reaction 👉

One of the best games to ever have played in! Brutal hits in defence, punch ups, great team tries, action to the very last minute of the game. What topped it all was the noise from the fans, the loudest I believe it has ever been!.

The Midlands Derby @SaintsRugby v @LeicesterTigers was right back up there today. Gritty, physical, players getting away with all sorts, individual brilliance at times and our old mate @WayneBarnesRef in charge of keeping it all together. Good win all the best Freddy!!.

2/2. hold more attractive international/European fixtures in some of the many venues available across the north and grow the community may take slightly longer however the long term effects will be greater. last international game held in the North 2015 Eng vs Uru (dead rubber).

It's not just a historic moment for @salesharks, who haven't made it to a @premrugby final in 17 years, but for rugby union in the North. I had the pleasure of speaking with some dedicated fans who shared significance of this occasion. A huge milestone for rugby in the North.

@willcarling @shaunhyland661 Banged on about this for a while, from my personal experience. There was a point in time where I could kick, pass and offload. I was trained to truck it up, win the gain line, used 80% of the time as a decoy runner. Times where I wouldn’t touch the ball for 30mins of a game!.

Speaking in Parliament about the crucial need to incorporate anti-racism education into the school curriculum. In our diverse and globalized world, why would we not equip students with an understanding of different cultures, ethnicities, and perspectives… just fantastic!.

Birthdays, they’re different, they’re not over celebrated & preferably go under the radar now 👴🏽 However, the past 12 months I’ve had some changes, some challenges & plenty of opportunities. So today I celebrate with the better half, reflect & remain grateful for another year 🎂.

Good luck to these men on Saturday a debut for Tom Pearson completing a niggly back-row. A 9-10 combo I’m excited to see together at international level. Will be interesting to see how this backline performs… do we agree?.

Finally!! Been following his form this season, should have been included in the initial squad (in my opinion) unfortunate for Elliot. Fantastic opportunity presents itself @OLawrence1 💥.
