Clue of the day Bluesky! Took me an eternity 🤦♂️ but you might spot it straight away.
When you do, you'll know. 💯
Just say 'got it', when you do and I'll give the answer in a bit! 😁

Feel this win and the manner of it probably at least equals the two URC titles.
If I could dedicate it to someone it would be Adam Hastings, in many ways tonight its architect.
A career so blighted by injuries, tonight must feel very special for him.
Chip off the old block too!

If they'd just kept the simpl rule that a forward pass is one that travels forward, and not repeatedly tinkered with it, it would have saved the sport lots of grief and wasted time on hairline reviews.
Go back to the original!

Hills shops not betting at counter on Meydan is one of the more ridiculous things you'll hear today.
But staff memo ongoing after several weeks of racing.
Don Pelicano 25/1, 5.35 is approx six months older as a Southern Hemisphere 3yo, against 2yos.
Fav might be good thing but a late April foal 🤔

Was very critical of Everitt and Edinburgh last week, but that's the best 80 I've seen them play since he took over.

So Scotland tomorrow could draw USA, Australia and Curacao.
Or it could be Brazil (or Spain), Croatia - and Italy (or their pool winner).
I have a suspicion it'll be a lot closer to the second one than the first! 🤔

Yup sport has been badly let down tonight.
That is the closest a decision has come to making me break the no ref chat policy in the full eight years doing this. The referee has a duty of care to these guys.

I'm completely neutral on the Dragons Leinster game.
But that blatantly reckless head contact is one of the poorest decisions I've seen in many years.
So Weak.

Probably explains why there are 35 flat races scheduled in GB and Ireland.
