I think in #JerseyCI we would benefit from a lighter touch and more focus on individual responsibility

I think it should be mandatory for all returning politicians in Jersey to tell the public what 5 things they did during their prior term which made the most meaningful positive difference to the island @TheOnlyGuru

@CharlieFelix Pleasant surprise to see an England 12 pull out a range of smart plays, to kick, tackle, pass and score in such an effortless way. Only his second cap and his first start. I was impressed. Can’t wait to see him play more. Would love to see Lawrence outside him for 10+ games

Piece on Max Ojomoh from Twickenham. Showed himself to be a genuine triple threat at Test level and gave England a spark when they needed it – on multiple occasions – in a really sticky game. telegraph.co.uk/rugby-union/20…

@TheOnlyGuru I second all that just for “not present for vote”

Suggestions for punishing politicians. Birching. Horsewhipping. The stocks. Tar and Feather. Detention.

@willgkelleher @TimesSport Hearing that Alex Mitchell is covering tight head

Pollock on the wing? Earl and Pepper in the midfield? Borthwick unveils his radical hybrid plans for the back row @TimesSport thetimes.com/sport/rugby-un…

@CharlieFelix I’ve been a fan of his for a long time Criminally overlooked by England for the last 4 years He has a X factor yet he got two caps (scored 4 tries) back in 2021 and was then dumped He’s 27 now and should have plenty more caps

Second jackal penalty in as many weeks for Adam Radwan.

An interesting response earlier this week when I expressed dismay to a member of Jersey’s judiciary about the perpetual lenient sentences that are neither punishment nor deterrent “You want Justice? From the law, you get the law, not Justice”

@EnglandRugby @WorldRugby The best English rugby player of the professional era

One of the greatest to ever wear the rose 🌹 Congratulations on being inducted into the @WorldRugby Hall of Fame, Richard Hill 👏

@scrumming_ten There was a Faz “tackle” special the second test His no arms shoulder bump had zero effect, he was just bounced off Beirne ended up having to properly tackle the Oz player a second later

We just need an Owen Farrell no-arms tackle to go unnoticed on Saturday for rugby to have a final meltdown

Thank you Germany 🇩🇪 and UK 🇬🇧 for heroically sacrificing your economy to save the planet 💪 _

@ANDYDB7 @mikejackson1952 @stbrelade Reminds me of the time some UHNW moved to the island close to Hamptonne farm They started complaining about all the wedding noise, loads of restrictions were put in place, hugely inconveniencing many local people Then the UHNW left the island permanently shortly after

@mikejackson1952 @stbrelade who is it objecting to clapping? What next? Breathing?

@slatterywill He’s undoubtedly the best player in the Lions squad and it’s not even close

Dan Sheehan is a real rugby unicorn 🦄 In 106 caps for Leinster, Ireland & Lions, he has scored 61 tries 35 of those are from open play, a strike rate up there with top outside backs Power, pace and a strong lineout thrower - he's the complete player

@AbigailColling2 @finchleyflyer @stephenjones9 Agreed I think Hansen would be in for Freeman if he wasn’t injured Ditto McCarthy for Chessum

Much coverage at G Ringrose withdrawing from T2 after head knock. Not so much about the injustice of Huw Jones being dropped after excellent First Test. Now restored.

@finchleyflyer @AbigailColling2 @stephenjones9 I also heard both Scots were dropped Then Tui tweaked a hamstring + Ringrose volunteered that he was still feeling concussion symptoms If all 4were fit we’d have an Irish centre partnership this weekend Feels harsh on Tui/Jones Ringrose has been excellent tho’ Aki hasn’t 😐

@AbigailColling2 @stephenjones9 I think I read it in The I, Farrell confirming they were originally going with the Irish guys. Utterly ridiculous. Aki in particular has done nothing to be preferred to Tuipolotu.

@TightFive_Rugby Johnny May also amongst the best elite home nations players never to be a Lion Yet I genuinely had to Google some of the latest call ups and and I’m an avid rugby fan

Really not going to be able to compute that George Ford and Jack Willis aren’t Lions, but Gregor Brown is. Doesn’t sit right with me.

@RugbyInsideLine Going back almost 30 years now, there was a fantastic player at Saracens Fan favorite, never seems to have a bad game, super exciting whenever he had the ball Never made it as an international A few years ago I asked a former teammate of his why that was and he said: attitude

🌹 The case of Ted Hill is a curious one. Undeniably talented and athleticly gifted. A seriously good Prem player too. What is it England don't see in him? Work rate, training attitude, or something niche that the stat men are throwing up?

@RugbyInsideLine Why was the Sheehan subbed off? I thought he was playing brilliantly.

🔥 ☘️ Beirne 🌹 Curry ☘️ Sheehan ❄️ ☘️ Lowe 🌹 Earl ☘️ Porter

@JamesMilner11 @RugbyInsideLine He was man of the match and everyone on line is raving about him!

@RMU1979 @RugbyInsideLine How did he do?

🦁 Especially struggle with Beirne starting at 6 if this turns out to be true. On his day, absolutely super player, but feel like he's looked more like a lock on this tour than a 6. He looks heavier and slower than his best. Chessum played that role superbly when given a shot.

@bernardjackman @OBroinG @lionsofficial Agreed Bernard But why does that logic not apply to all players? Some like Genge have been selected due to their tour form. Others have been selected despite their tour form Inconsistent selection approach

@OBroinG @lionsofficial Think Pre tour Porter was in line but Genge has been exceptional

The first Test @lionsofficial squad is official. What do you think of its make up ? #lionstour2025 #AUSvBIL

@JamesMilner11 @RugbyInsideLine I think the Lions will win I will be keeping an eye on Beirne! If he proves me wrong, I’ll be very pleased!

@RMU1979 @RugbyInsideLine Stop fighting the Beirne selection, called it before the tour he’s the first name on the team sheet. Pedigree in big games is unmatched - a few disjointed games against club sides doesn’t undo 4 years of goodwill. You’ll be singing his praises by the end of the series 😂
