That’s another 1,095 days before Gregory Aldritt can play for Scotland. Bugger. #FRAvWAL

Not going to lie, I’m ludicrously excited to see how Antoine Dupont gets on at fly-half tonight, like if Galileo Galilei suddenly decided to try his hand as a playwright. #FRAvRSA

There is a strictly zero-percent chance that Trump wrote this. There’s no random capitalisation and, perhaps most implausibly, there are commas.

NEW The New York Times has obtained the letter President Trump left for President Biden in the Oval Office in 2021. The letter — which Trump wrote by hand using his signature black Sharpie — is printed in Biden’s forthcoming presidential memoir. Full Story: nyti.ms/4zbXc6m

I’ve long been annoyed by Rugby Union’s willingness to smell its own farts like this, but I’m starting to suspect that 90% of that is from the idiots at TNT Sports.

Would you see this in any other sport? 🤔 Both head coaches Geoff Parling and Pat Lam making time for fans after the game ❤️

He was the f***ing best. I’m sorry, he just was.

They used to just play shows like this on broadcast tv

He’ll never know this but Patrick Stewart showed countless boys how to be men. He showed that strength didn't have to mean intimidation, that intelligence should come with humility, and that you could - and should - stand up for what was right even when it cost you something.

A dark, dark day for Star Trek fans. Probably the darkest day we’ve had. Our best Captain and our best actor has left us. Bon Voyage, Sir Patrick Stewart Make It So, Jean Luc.

It’s pretty clear that there was no selection from Townsend that would have pleased a cohort of Scotland fans. Hector Patterson may be a prodigious talent, but the argument for including him is that in one and a half games he’s played like Horne and Dobie do regularly.

Whatever happens in #CelebrityTraitors, I want to thank Ross Kemp for being the most wonderful, unintentionally funny celebrity this year. Quoting Hamlet was the purest Accidental Partridge moment I can think of, it was practically performance art.
