Absurd speed from Bielle-Biarrey to create this try⚡️ Law 18.2d: The ball is not in touch or touch-in-goal if [...] a player, who is in touch, kicks or knocks the ball, but does not hold it, provided it has not reached the plane of touch. #EXEvUBB

Two years on… Two years ago today I was diagnosed with MND. As far as statistics are concerned, I had a 50% chance of living up to this point but I am still here and despite the complete decline in my physical body, I am pleased to be here. I wrote a poem last year to mark the first year after my diagnosis and so I thought I would do the same thing this year. I will keep going every year I can. P.S. It’s coming home 😁
