@sedgleytruck @boultonp That's harsh matty.🤣 Did you ever beat me at table tennis?

@boultonp Only the best Sir, must of got his kicking game off Bucko 🤣🤣🤣🙌🏻 @BucktonN

@StsPnP Congratulations Steve and the lads.

Our #Year11 boys #rugby team took on Sir Thomas Boteler in the semi final of the North West Counties Cup yesterday, winning 24- 8 & a cup final place. Coach Mr Burke said, "This was a great team performance & sees the lads into their 3rd final in a row. Well deserved." #BePandP

@HFHopenage Very sad news thoughts and prayers go out to his family.

Tragic news today hearing that Johnny Leather has passed away earlier this morning..🙏🏻🙏🏻 Our thoughts and sincere condolences go out to Rachel and all the family.

@Ellkaizakell @WidnesRL Sorry missed Boscoe out. Blame it on old age!

One of the lads sent me this @WidnesRL town team 88/89 maybe

@Ellkaizakell @WidnesRL Some legend Joeys there, Foran,Godwin,Feely,Richardson, Briers, Golding. Plus a great kit.

@MarkPercival22 Well done Mark miss Carmichael will be pleased. Did your mates not tell you it was a brown shoes day!

Shocked myself tbh who’d have thought ay! Made up to graduate today! 👨🏻‍🎓

@WidnesRon @StsPnP @Saints1890 Congratulations for all the hard work you have put in to get there.

Huge congrats to ex @StsPnP student George Delaney who made his debut for @Saints1890 well done 🙌

@sedgleytruck @SedgleyTigers @boultonp @WidnesRon @StsPnP @rugd12 Top day Matty and Andy too many young people give up too early and are missing out on creating memories for life. Keep going as long as you can.

Left school 20 years ago this summer… Today my old PE teachers came to watch @SedgleyTigers and have the meal🐯🏉 Thanks for everything you did for me at the start of my Rugby journey and it’s class that we still keep in touch 👌🏻👏🏻💙 @boultonp @BucktonN @WidnesRon @StsPnP

@rugd12 @sedgleytruck @boultonp @WidnesRon Count me in as well chaps. Thanks Matt.

@sedgleytruck @BucktonN @boultonp @WidnesRon Seems a long way away Matt but April 2nd vs Chester would be a good one. Any other takers ??

@MarkPercival22 @Saints1890 Great catching up with you Perc before the game well played in those conditions.

Thanks to all the fans yesterday for your support and for braving the cold! Was nice to get over for my 100th for @Saints1890 and most importantly get the win 🙌🏻

@sedgleytruck That's Monday 4 us Matt agree with beans first then cheese. Do you have to have Heinz or are you not bothered?

Jacket, cheese and beans after a good Thursday night session 🏉 Can’t beat it… 👌🏻 Always beans 1st, then cheese on top 🧀

@sedgleytruck @boultonp I'll get in on that as well matty. Make sure you save some energy for this afternoon

@boultonp Cheers mate, much appreciated 👌🏻 Just let me know if you ever fancy a game with a pre match meal 👍🏻🐯

@Saints1890 @MarkPercival22 Good job you can play rugby better than you put Percy.

37': TRY!!! - THE PRINCEEEEE! @markpercival22 on his return latches onto a ball from Lomax to break through a gap in the Giants defence to score! Get in! 🔔 GIANTS 0-10 SAINTS 🔴⚪

@rugd12 Agreed gareth he topped tackle count as well. Are this weekends better due to harder pitches or no relegation. Just a thought

England's next no.10 !! Once this 6 Nations is out of the way, give him a run of games in the jersey and see what he can do on the international stage... please !!!

@rugd12 Referee good today sorted ruck out in first 10 mins and game flowed after that.

Watching Exeter vs Bath this afternoon and it is hard to ignore the qualities of Sam Simmonds. Know it is has been said many many times before but would love to see him given a shot in an England jersey again - has a great all round game, in addition to scoring tries for fun.

@BebbTeach Both teams prepared to attack from deeper positions to try to create space.

Initial questions: ❓How would these stats inform your training and preparation? ❓By keeping hold of the ball (‘building phases’) for longer periods, does this, across a season, increase or decrease your chances of scoring tries?

Bristol v Clermont try stats: ✅9/12 tries (75%) scored with 2 rucks or less ✅8/12 tries (66.6%) scored with 1 ruck or less ✅6/12 tries (50%) scored with 0 rucks ✅3/12 tries (25% - all Clermont) scored involving 4+ rucks Anyone have stats from other games?

@sedgleytruck I remember some good games with you Matthew down at the rugby league club.

This was me winning the Lanzarote championship 2017 on honeymoon 🏓

@WidnesRLFC1875 A pair of Angel's there butter wouldn't melt in their mouths.

@nca_rugby @sedgleytruck @SedgleyTigers @TalkRugbyUnion @SaleSharksRugby @RugbySaleSharks @EnglandRugby @ben_foden @NellieArts @BBCLancsSport @ADavies_10 @__Briggsy__ Matty a late career in journalism beckons ! Another very good read.

"I was a shot to nothing as I was only signing for peanuts... but that didn’t bother me!" ✍️ It's that time again...It's the second edition of the @sedgleytruck blog! In this post, Matt dives straight into his time with Sale Sharks and England U21s. ncarugby.com/features/the-s…
