Who is the ultimate ‘What if’ player in rugby history? Someone who was incredible talented, but didn’t live up to their potential because of injuries…

So I (eventually) wrote about the Italy game on @ScotRugbyBlog, it wasn't fun but we'll always have that Molly Poolman try scottishrugbyblog.co.uk/2026/05/2026-w…

@KERRZZO @thepenGW @GlasgowWarriors @ryanwilson89 @PeterElder74 He's a legend that way!

@thepenGW @GlasgowWarriors @ScotRugbyBlog @ryanwilson89 All good ma man @PeterElder74 hooked me up

Still on the lookout for 1 ticket for Glasgow v Cardiff tonight if anyone can help @GlasgowWarriors @ScotRugbyBlog @ryanwilson89 @thepenGW RT’s appreciated

The following things can also be true: 1) there needs to be greater transparency about what footage TMOs have access to vs TV directors so we can stop saying the French and the SAs are at it 2) Whitehouse is quite often not very good at his job

What do you think, dear listener

Not going to wade too deeply into it - but I think it would be worth clarity from WR / EPCR on: 1) what footage/angles TMOs get in real time; 2) who decides that; and 3) whether that is standard across tournaments. Genuinely would be helpful to inform the discussion.

Union Bordeaux-Begles will defend their European title in Bilbao after closing out a thriller against Bath. Despite not being former professional players, we sat down to dissect the game, how Bordeaux won it, and what Bath will learn from here... youtu.be/fHD4qipOu_Y

So which is it? Did officials have all the angles they needed and not look at them, or not demand them of the producers? Or did the producers in Bordeaux not produce all the angles expected in a massive semi-final? I keep hearing contradictory assertions by people I trust.

Tunnock's is pretty much the only brand I can think of that hasn't engaged in enshittifaction. No change to recipe, shrinkflation, rebranding, change in packaging. I hope they're still going when all their competitors are fucked.

@anon_opin Plot twist: what if that scene only existed in the 90s then you can

You cannot call yourself a fan of a music genre if you only listen to artists from 20/30 years ago and have no knowledge of current artists of that scene.

Yay, idiots

The shorter length has been the most popular option with our athletes across the past two Games, and we are happy to provide the choice, allowing all athletes and staff feel comfortable and proud when wearing the outfit at the Opening Ceremony. 2/3
