    In other rugby news, a @marlowrugby47 2s player got wiped out by a deer this weekend. No attempt to wrap but low point of contact. Penalty only

    Tom Curry is 26, suffered his fifth concussion in two years a fortnight ago and has a hip issue that nearly caused him to retire. Given England’s strength in the back row, the fact that he is not only included but starting at home to Japan is absolutely astonishing
    All set to face the Brave Blossoms 👊 Steve Borthwick has named his 23-man squad to take on Japan this Sunday 🌹 @O2 | #WearTheRose

    Cheers to Anthony Watson, a man who played his part in/ruined one of the greatest moments in rugby history

    It’s Friday. Here is my favourite rugby moment of all time
    Never forget the time tighthead prop Jon Welsh tried to chip and chase Anthony Watson!

    If you think that I'm going to spend more than two minutes watching a video where Pepe just wanders around Colney and does some weird stretches in the gym then you're absolutely right.

    I acknowledge that in me posting this I am giving them what they want, but this is the most blatant example of fact-devoid ragebait from Jamie O'Hara and Sky Sports that I have ever seen
    🗣️ "It's killing the game, it's like watching non league" "It's all down to Arsenal, they killed the Premier League in terms of fluid football" Jamie O'Hara is not a fan of long throws.

    In Adam Radwan and Ollie Hassell-Collins, do Leicester Tigers now have the best "not quite good enough for England but still amazing Premiership player" wing partnership in the league?
    Welcome to Leicester, Adam Radwan! How exciting is this one, Tigers Fans?
