Saw this live and genuinely couldn't believe the TMO didn't pick it up...

Forza Azzurri! It's actually hilarious that so many English pundits were speaking like it was a done deal that France v England last weekend of the championship was going to be the grand slam decider. And now it looks like England will finish in fifth place 🤣

@ChrisSru880101 Probably a shoot out between TJ and Hastings, but I'd like to see Burke given a proper run too against one of Argentina or Fiji. What's the point of the summer tour if you don't properly explore your options?

Thinking now,
Russell is obviously going to play the remaining two games.
But with the lions and bath he’s played a load of games.
I can see him not playing in the summer, meaning Boks, Argentina and Fiji we will be without him.
Who’s the likely guy to step in?

Pretty cool to see a former Glasgow Warriors head coach take on one of the biggest jobs in world rugby.
Chuffed for Dave Rennie. Once a Warrior, always a Warrior ⚔️⚫️

The SRU cannot - absolutely cannot - turn to Franco Smith mid-season. Not when Glasgow are challenging on two fronts and have had the best ever start to a European campaign by a Scottish team.
Tom English@TEnglishSport
Wouldn’t hold my breath for SRU to do what, I’d imagine, the overwhelming number of Scotland fans want them to do - replace Gregor Townsend with Franco Smith. The SRU think the solution to Edinburgh’s problems is two more years of Sean Everitt. So…

Glasgow Warriors will form the backbone of the Scotland side as the national team open their 2026 Guinness Men’s Six Nations campaign against Italy in Rome this Saturday, with 1⃣4⃣ Warriors players named in the matchday 23 for the clash at Stadio Olimpico 🏴

It'll be interesting to see how he does with them. Worth noting Townsend has started both his head coach roles with teams who were already on the up. First, with Glasgow Warriors after Sean Lineen had laid strong foundations. Then with Scotland after Cotter's three-year tenure.

I've said it before and I'll say it again: if the Waspi women had spent as much time planning their personal finances as they do campaigning, they wouldn't find themselves in the situation in which they claim to be.

Silver Voices (Dennis Reed Director)@silvervoicesuk
#WASPI #50sWomen betrayed again! Here is our comment on the shocking statement by Pat McFadden: Dennis Reed, the director of Silver Voices, said: "This cruel decision amounts to a declaration of war on senior citizens and shows that Labour has given up all hope of regaining the trust and votes of pensioners. "To deliberately raise the hopes of millions of older women while buying time to get their legal ducks in a row is beyond contempt. This is the latest in a line of betrayals of older people and WASPI women are encouraged to join Silver Voices to mount a general political fight back”. silvervoices.co.uk/join-us

Things Rachel Reeves thinks are “fair”:
✅ Ripping off low-paid young graduates by saddling them with massive debts and punitive interest rates on loans to fund an education that their parents got for free - regardless of how poor they are.
✅Giving more and more of taxpayers’ money every year, without fail, to all pensioners via the Triple Lock - regardless of how rich they are.

If the British media covered issues affecting different generations equally and fairly, the student loan scandal, which will see young people robbed of many thousands of pounds, would be top of every single news bulletin and on the front of every single newspaper - just like when wealthier pensioners faced losing £200 a year in Winter Fuel Payments. But it doesn’t and so it won’t be.
