Dave Ribbans, class rugby player and seemingly decent human. Come on second half for Toulon and helped them look much stronger. Just stopped dead in his tracks as he was about to wipe out an injured opponent and 2 medics. No fuss, proper unit.

We have a scheme where the kids get to name the dogs, in turn. It has flaws.

We now have an 11 yr old Tobi and a 2 yr old Teddy. 2 syllables beginning with T, genius!

Turns out Tobi is not nearly as clever as we thought, he barely knows his name.

Taffy?

There are young Welsh cricketers now reporting "losing by a rugby score" after heavy losses.

Zeebs, God love him, just about counts as a guest. Analyst or pundit would be stretching it...

Fair play nice try.

Been physically on top so far, now some quality.

Turnaround required for Munster.

Magnus Bradbury is talking more than the ref. He's very brave, or he knows exactly where Whitehouse's line is.

I know Slim Reaper is a brilliant nickname, but in my head I call him Finchy

Tell you what they don't ever do in 6n matches, throw them in the first few rounds so that the last 2 weekends are guaranteed wide open.

The last 3 years the first 4 rounds of TRC have been shared more precisely than sweets from your grandma.

I'm guessing this one's from a bloke called Tim.

I'm guessing the original LIV golf consultants have finished their term, and are now turning their hand to ruining something else...

R360. You can’t penetrate the US Market without a NYC team. No one in Miami gives a shit (& good luck to playing in that humidity). London can’t manage to keep all of its teams going. And why would you watch this over all the rest of the rugby going on?

It was a confusing time for kings for a young lad with sporting heroes. We had Kenny Roberts, Kenny Dalglish, and Sean Kelly.

I was a Barry Sheene fan so that bit was easy.

Or Bruce might have said something like:

To be fair, his friends have said it was just a one off.

Terrifying some of the tracks they used to play on, Windies being among the worst culprits, and without helmets some of them!

My favourite Gatting quote was after he'd had nose/face rearranged by one M.D. Marshall in the Windies - on return to Heathrow, one daft journo asked him where exactly he'd been hit....

Had to look up the cheese roll quote, and bizarrely Google/AI mis-summarised the quote as being about the unplayability of the Warner delivery; not Gatting's famous eating reputation.

Stalingrad would be more pleasant.

Rory has some plums and some self control with some of the abuse he gets.
