Charlie Morgan

Caught up with Stuart Lancaster as he prepares to coach against his son, Dan. 🤐 No father-son rugby chat for a week 🟢 Connacht buzz (Frawley: gun signing) 🇫🇷 Racing didn’t “damage” coaching love ❤️Pride in Dan’s progress #Echobox=1779725168" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">thetimes.com/sport/rugby-un…

Over the past month a group of supporters from West Ham, Spurs and Nottingham Forest have documented every twist and turn, sleepless night, moment of denial or euphoria in watching the club they love in a relegation battle. espn.co.uk/football/story…

Bordeaux have won back-to-back titles to join the elite sides in European Club rugby. What makes them so special? @AlexMLowe & @willgkelleher discuss on The Ruck podcast 🎙️ Listen: podfollow.com/the-ruck

“Blackheath again olé olé.” Went to the RAG again to see Blackheath – and their awesome supporters – do a job in the Champ accession final to seal promotion to the second tier. A well-drilled, tough side. With loud fans. thetimes.com/sport/rugby-un…

@rothman2cook Your message is totally fair; I absolutely should have mentioned Rotherham in yesterday’s piece. I do think I’ve credited Titans this season – they’ve been mentioned in four pieces I can think of – but I’ll be watching closely next year for sure and hope it’s a lot of fun

@cmthanet @thanetwanderers Really cool, Chris.

@CharlieFelix Wasn’t it a great atmosphere felt like a Blackheath home game. So many young and old. Got chatting with the 92 year old Grandfather of Blackheath scrum half true gentleman. And I’m a @thanetwanderers person. Well done The club

@spkeene 100 per cent.

Crunch Creator getting underway soon in Bordeaux. 42,000 sell-out for the battle of the influencers. Wrote about it for @RugbyPass, chatting to Clapham CEO Archie Curzon and Monsieur Prof. rugbypass.com/plus/why-42000…

@Civitas_Fidelis Cool to hear. That’s all I’ve seen of the game, but really happy for him

@CharlieFelix More than that was his tackling, he made a number of critical tackles throughout the game. Such a live wire!

Jake Garside is a baller.

That’s six French winners in succession. Also, a reminder: Bordeaux have recruited Tom Willis for next season and Toulouse are bringing in Tomasso Menoncello 😅

Tu sens qu’il est fait pour labourer le Gers et massacrer des sangliers, mais que pour une raison quelconque le monde moderne l’a envoyé dans une ville où les mecs roulent son steak dans de la feuille d’or et qu’il est complètement perdu

Wanted to ask Leavy a) whether early retirement has been any easier to stomach because of the (awesome) heights he hit and b) what it felt like when he was at his most influential, because it was special

"Regrets? Honestly, just not enjoying it more." Pleasure to chat to Dan Leavy, eight years after his unreal 2018 and Leinster's last Champions Cup crown. Seems in a great place. And entertained my questions on how it felt to hit the heights he did. thetimes.com/sport/rugby-un…

@wotelseisthere Spencer unlikely to tour

@CharlieFelix I still don’t see JVP as better than Spencer, also judging by who got nominated for player of the year, neither do others

Most curious about Archie McParland (with Jack van Poortvliet going well, too) and Adam Radwan.

@KarlBrophy I guess silly to wonder what Ireland could have achieved with him because his peers have been immense and done so much… but I’m gonna do it anywaaaay

@CharlieFelix Such an incredible loss to rugby. He was already sensational and on his way to being a genuine great. Won every single match he played for Ireland too.

@patmccarry definitely

@CharlieFelix One of the most gutting injuries in the past decade. Was only for a short period, unfortunately, but he had reached world-class status
