Wow, this revelation will be quite the shock to the vast majority of journalists who have somehow managed to do both for the last 500 years.
James Hook revealing that *Jerry Collinsβ son* is playing for Mumbles U16s is the sort of boost Welsh rugby desperately needs right nowβ¦

Iβm not surprised by it, obviously, but I do find the vitriol about this quite weird?
If youβre this mortally offended by the notion of someone using generational wealth and familial connections to get their foot in the door of the music industry, you better give the BRIT Awards a swerve laterβ¦

Itβs entirely reflective of how damaging, amateurish and untenable Richard Collier-Keywoodβs leadership of the WRU is that he had to dial in to be grilled by the Senedd over video call today, as he claimed had to be in London today due to the Scarlets legal case against the union.
Jokeshop stuff.
I will go to my grave never truly understanding why my extremely conservative evangelical Christian parents allowed their 11-year-old son to stay up late to watch Red Dwarf on a Friday night, but thank fuck they did.

Genuinely cannot overstate how important Red Dwarf was to me growing up.
The entire load-bearing structure of my sense of humour came out of not just the TV show, but the novels, too - I must have read them a dozen times.
A big part of why I write is Rob Grant and Doug Naylor. RIP.
It should not shock anyone that the way theyβve managed to stir the district clubs from their disinterested slumber in what happens with the pro game is by appealing to their naked self-interest.

This is such an incredible insight into what rugby games get so so wrong.
They get tied in knots trying to simulate all the little things hardcore rugby knowers care about instead of using it as a vehicle to teach newbies why itβs such a great sport.

I don't think Gats has had a whistle in his mouth since about 1999.
Also the only comedy panel show Iβm personally aware of that features occasional pre-Exeter Chiefs Tom Hooper.

I keep saying it, but Ben Earl is a very good player who has specific excellent qualities but his equally specific weaknesses make it almost impossible to construct a balanced back row around him without serious compromise elsewhere.

On reflection, the maddest thing Borthwick did in this game was bring Marcus Smith on at full-back when JGP was the only member of the Irish backline under six feet tall and George Ford was having a generational stinker.
Emphatically not an endorsement of Steward but like⦠what is the reasoning?
