Worth remembering that in order to continue playing after his injury, Gareth Anscombe had to get his tibia broken, his leg totally realigned, and a bone graft from a dead man inserted into his knee. That right leg still looks like it works OK. Remarkable. #RSAvWAL 🇿🇦🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

The spuds on Gareth Anscombe to nail this kick under that amount of pressure. What a kick What a player #RSAvWAL

Wow. Georgia beat Italy 28-19 in Batumi and make a huge statement to the Six Nations and the rugby world. They fully deserved it too. Fireworks explode in celebration over the stadium as the place goes nuts. #GEOvITA 🇬🇪🇮🇹

Couldn’t tweet this earlier due to lack of WiFi, but here are 15,000 Japanese people singing the Welsh anthem as they watched Warren Gatland’s side train. Truly remarkable stuff. 🤯🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🎵#RWC2019

Worth remembering that Gareth Anscombe has just produced that performance (and a 23-point haul) with a bone graft from a deceased donor in his right knee. He had no right to be in Lyon tonight after what he's been through injury wise. Remarkable. #WAL #AUS #WALvAUS #RWC2023

If I wasn't working on this game, I'd have turned it off long ago. Unwatchable. Rugby has a serious problem with the product it is delivering. #LionsRugby #RSAvBIL

Huge upset in Cardiff in first game of #WALvENG weekend. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 deny 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 an Under-20 Grand Slam with famous 23-13 win at a rocking Arms Park. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 heroic across the board against giant 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 pack led by Kepu Tuipulotu. Referee lost complete control. Jerry beats Tom! 🐱 🐭

Scarlets vs Toulon finishes at just gone 10pm on a Saturday night. Ridiculous. Rugby has to stop pandering to TV for these sorts of kick-off times for the good of the game. How can you expect young children to attend a match that ends at this sort of time?

Dan Biggar @MailSport column post #ENGvWAL: 'I wasn’t going to allow Owen Farrell to speak to me like he did. He made it personal by coming at me. I told Farrell that people are allowed to have a go at him. He’s not above everyone else.'
