Adam Peaty’s getting ready to swim on the same spot where Owen Farrell will be taking conversions next season 😳
Racing 92’s rugby pitch was transformed into two Olympic swimming pools in just 36 days. Remarkable feet of engineering.

- In the chaos of Typhoon Hagibis, spare a thought for Italy. Ghiraldini was set for a 20min farewell cameo against NZ in the final rugby match of his 15yr career. He spent months rehabbing and broke down in tears when news of cancellation broke in training. Sombre mood in Toyota.
- Fiji players still bringing the party despite the defeat. What a team 🇫🇯🏝️
00:00 - ‘I used to sit in the clubhouse with my chips and sausage & people looked at my like “Who the f*** is this?” It breaks me. I’ve got mates on scaffolding sites who are quicker than Jonny May.’ Powerful @EllisGenge on how class prejudice is crippling rugby
- Simon Zebo has agreed to return to Munster this summer, meaning he could force his way back into Ireland’s 2023 World Cup plans. Deal likely to be announced this week. Exclusive story on @MailSport
- Kyle Sinckler has been called up by the Lions for the tour of South Africa. Warren Gatland contacted him this morning following an injury to Andrew Porter. Exclusive story on @MailSport
- No sugar coating here from @mikebrown_15. This is his side of the story about how his 17-year Quins career ended in a grim four-minute meeting. ‘I never wanted to leave. I sat in my car and cried. I’m not sure how much loyalty there is in the game.’
- I had a lump in my throat doing this interview. It’s raw, uncomfortable and I have total admiration of Rob Howley for doing it. On the emotional turmoil behind his betting: ‘I’d driven my sister to her grave’. He’s finally at peace & will be better for it
- Update from the new away fans trial at Saracens: 15 minutes in and security have threatened to kick out a bunch of Gloucester school kids on rugby tour, moments after chants of “You’re just a shit Owen Farrell” towards Fergus Burke
- Brave and powerful words from Luther Burrell. He shares his experiences of racism in rugby changing rooms, witnessing jokes about slave shackles and bananas. I was shocked to hear his stories. Hopefully this exposes uncomfortable truths and empowers change
- ‘I was 18 when I first kissed a guy. I waited for the rugby season to end before I came out because I was worried how people would react. It was grand’. Interview with Exeter-bound Jack Dunne, who wants to normalise rugby’s conversations around sexuality mol.im/a/10840799
- I’ve done a few wild interviews but this topped the lot. A 24-hour riot through Galway with Mack Hansen. Drank our bodyweight in Guinness, almost drowned in the Atlantic & got Andy Farrell’s face tattooed on his leg. @KevinQuigley_DM still recovering! mol.im/a/12474031

00:00 - Danny Care is in contention to make a shock England comeback this week after almost four years since his last Test appearance. Squad being confirmed later today. Exclusive story coming on @MailSport
