    Right so. Was asked for some #ClimateBookshelf recommendations a while back and never responded. (I was in deadline season. Because I'm back being a part-time student. Final deadline achieved last night.) Have dug through the bookshelf this morning and... thread incoming! 🧵

    Fair play to @IrishTimes. Not too many outlets can boast of an interview with the virus itself.

    Said it before and will say it again. The haka is fine. Have at it. But mandating that the opposition stand there nicely to face it, on threat of a fine, is a load of rubbish. #RWC2019 #NZLvRSA

    Josh Dickson with one of the most awesome bits of thievery, stealing possession from under the noses of the Blues as they drove towards the try line. One-handed, reached over, plucked it straight out of the ball-carrier’s arms. Brilliant.

    This fake running back move is just funny. #FRAvITA

    Matt Dawson wouldn't include any South Africa players in his combined XV with England. This is why: bbc.in/36m7hl3 #bbcrugby #RWC2019 #RWCFinal

    Exeter player Jack Nowell. With pint in hand. At Thomond Park. Wearing a Munster jersey. While Exeter play Munster. Whoever is in charge of that stag weekend, I doff my cap.

    After Ireland put 82 points on Romania earlier today, some might question the value in having the “lesser” teams in the RWC. To that I can only say this: look at what took place in Marseilles tonight where an emerging rugby nation has turned over Argentina. The magic of sport.

    SA can consider themselves extremely lucky that the ref & touch judges didn’t pick this up, and that the TMO didn’t choose to. Not sure about other angles, but the one we were shown on the TV broadcast looked pretty clear head to head. #RSAvSCO

    Dear TMO you are seriously not looking at this clear out to Furlong’s head? #ENGvIRE

    This last 20 from Matthew Carley has been embarrassing. Refereeing is hard. His decisions on points of law, fine! His difference in application of yellow cards, *embarrassing*. I use the word not lightly, and deliberately. #WALvFIJ

    Deon Fourie, the oldest Springbok debutant of all time, plays 77 minutes of the WORLD CUP FINAL at his emergency position of hooker. And he plays that on the winning team. Unreal. Absolutely unreal.

    Bit harsh for Ronaldo to get booked for taking his jersey off when he just wanted to swap shirts with the ref.
