Chatted to All Blacks great Dan Carter about his fairytale ending with New Zealand and how he never looked back after winning the World Cup. mirror.co.uk/sport/rugby-un…

Newcastle seem to attract PSR talk more than most. Yes it’s a hurdle, but they can still do more and be smarter. Jotted down some thoughts on it all here 👇🏼 mirror.co.uk/sport/football…

Lando takes the title - and yes a lot of F1 as a driver is out of your control. But boy you wonder how Max reflects on his total inability to control his attitude at Barcelona all those months ago. High chance he would still be world champion had he kept his composure.

Had a ponder down memory lane a decade on from Klopp being appointed at Anfield. Some stellar signings that helped define his era and a host of memorable games. Check it out 👇🏼

Jack Willis - Top 14 player of the year. England have one of the best talents in world rugby, and they’re not able to utilise him. When we look back, Willis not playing during his prime years will feel criminal.

Quite how Josh Van der Flier will end his career without playing a Test for the Lions is beyond me

Sam Warburton is the last man to captain the British and Irish Lions to a series victory 🦁 His reflections on.. How hard it is to win one 🏆 Having no idea about the infamous O'Driscoll axe 😐 Dealing with "unfinished business" 👊🏼 ✍🏻 @samjmeade mirror.co.uk/sport/rugby-un…

Quality chat with the Sale, England and Lions star Check it out 👇🏼

@MattHardyJourno Amen. Been saying this for years. So many GAA stadiums with big capacities that could host their games

I know semi-final stadium allocation is a difficult thing to get right given the rules are “home country advantage”… But Leinster being handed the Aviva for a potential semi despite it being their designated domestic home stadium this season doesn’t sit right. #ChampionsCup

Fin Smith. England’s 10. What a player

World Cup winner Matt Dawson believes Marcus Smith is better utilised at fly-half - but has backed his replacement Fin Smith to benefit as both start against France | @samjmeade mirror.co.uk/sport/rugby-un…

INJECT IT. Serious tension between England and Samoa in the League earlier on. Bring back haka face offs in Union.

Spoke to the hard-hitting Quins back rower. Check it out 👇🏼

Spoke to the Harlequins centre ahead of their opener with Sale. Chatted about his injury-hit debut year, what he needs to do to play for England and dealing with comparisons to his brother Check it out 👇🏼

Spoke to the ex-Wales skipper about the positives from the Australia tour, how the country can nurture their top talent and why keeping Mason Grady was so crucial Check it out 👇🏼

Incredible 👏🏼

If Athletic Bilbao can fend off the inevitable interest in Nico Williams after these Euros then I commend them…

Every #DDay I come back to Harry Billinge ❤️ If you’re tempted to moan about something meaningless or complain today… watch Harry and think about what he, and many others, went through for the freedoms we all too often take for granted. There aren’t many of those heroes left but they have so much to teach us. We’ll be playing music to commemorate the anniversary throughout the day on @ClassicFM #DDay80 #LestWeForget

Spoke to the Gloucester winger about his ambitions to get back into the England fold, eyeing more silverware this season and the responsibility of playing in a town where rugby takes centre stage. Check it out 👇🏼

Spoke to Harlequins scrum-half Will Porter about his dynamics with Marcus Smith, Danny Care and how he’s found the perfect home after the collapse of Wasps. Check it out 👇🏼
