Doing a search in my WhatsApp messages to try to find an address. The town came up in so many messages from my mother, before Alzheimer's. I thought I had come to terms with her illness in person but seeing how she wrote and was so clued in has broken my heart all over again

Totally understandable. We all had much more time during those dark times 5 years ago

Are you still doing the drawings? They were one of the bright lights during Covid

Makes a change to see a rugby player put their hand up and say that their head isn't ok. Have watched too many attempt to play on after a head injury or return to training what feels like very soon after a failed HIA. We only get one brain!

Dear rugby fans of Scotland, Wales and England;

Welcome to our world, lads.

Kind regards,

Munster and Ulster supporters.

In one week, Farrell has called up from the other side of the planet:

1) His son, who, at nearly 34, last played test rugby at the same time as Sexton;
2) The third-choice 8-caps utility centre from Leinster;
3) The third-choice Leinster TH with 8 caps when there isn’t even apparently an injury.

He's on now

Heard he's minding his ribs so I don't mind, for once

For once I don't mind, his ribs are not fully ok afaik

Where is Camp Mystic, the Christian girls camp hit by flooding in Texas? Flooding in central Texas caused the Guadalupe River to flood. A Christian girls camp, Camp Mystic, was affected and some campers are missing.

Some of those girls were 8!! Maybe even younger. What kind of parent sends their 8 year old away for 2-4 weeks for religion?!? Over 750 girls there, WTAF

Friday is my one WFH day of the week but I have to go into the office today. So I've been awake since 4am. Great.

F*ck tinnitus. Never had it until my concussion but it's so loud at the moment 😭

It was incredible, best in a long time

Not sure if it's reflective of the amount of time I spent in France lately or the TV5 commentators but I understood way more of the commentary on the Top14 final in French than I do in a game on TG4. Then again I don't actively speak Irish but tend to have at least 1 rugby trip to France per season

I've run out of wall space but own several of Robert's incredible drawings. Can't recommend highly enough

When you haven't lost a final in 17 years you tend to have a stash of them!

Last final they lost was to Munster in 2008!

If you're not watching the top14 final it's free on tv5monde website. Second period of extra time about to start, best game of the day by a mile

The country of free speech

Petrol at my preferred station went up 5c between Thursday and this morning and with oil prices soaring, it's only going to get worse. F you warmongering nations 🤬

They're certainly hungry!

I'm heading to Edinburgh for the first test, we're having a mini reunion so I'm pretty sure that will be my highlight of this tour

Australian rugby still not back to anything like peak form and the cost of going on this tour was literally double what we paid in 2017 and that's before you factor in the higher costs of everything in Australia, and longer distances between the venues

I was a lifelong Lions fan, and got to live my dream by going on the entire 10 match tour in 2017. Then the 2021 tour went ahead when it really really shouldn't have. And now, I don't give a damn about them. That's what happens when money is more important than rugby, and than people

Mt Trashmore

Rainy Saturday mornings when I don't need to go anywhere are my favourites 💚 Kinda handy that I live in Ireland so

For a four day working week this week feels like it was sooooooo long!

Why do all the nasty South African rugby "fans" quote bible verses in their social media bios 🤔

So Glasgow sometimes play in Blue, Bulls play in Blue, Leinster play in Blue. Next weekend I'm hoping that two of those blue teams come through to the final. Tbh as long as those scumbags from Durban don't win I'm not really bothered who does
