Kate Scott has always been an excellent broadcaster, but moments such as this serves as a reminder of just how great she is at her job.

Eloquent, intelligent, and compassionate. Sheโ€™s truly one of the very best around.

How can an offence both be serious enough to warrant a red card, and minor enough for it not to be permanent?

Farcical.

Twenty-minute red cards are as dumb as 50/22 kicks are great.

A monumentally stupid rule designed to favour the best rugby teams with the deepest squads.

A red card offence should be a detriment to a teamโ€™s chances, not a temporary hiccup.

Sam Prendergast will get a lot of flak again for another underwhelming performance against Italy.

But at what point are questions asked of Andy Farrell exposing a player to a level for which he clearly isnโ€™t yet ready and leaving him open to blistering criticism?

Roman Reigns vs CM Punk it is.

Star showing for Jeโ€™von Evans, solid showing for Oba Femi, oddly booked middle portion but an otherwise excellent Royal Rumble

Gunther is the ultimate villain, even moreso now than he was after retiring John Cena.

Liv Morgan the absolute correct choice. Some good shine for Lash Legend and Sol Ruca, the latter of whom is a star with a finisher to match.

Liv Morgan vs Raquel Rodriguez at #WrestleMania should be fun.
