    My brother in law is a lorry driver and delivers fuel. He’s on the road now and there are people following him - literally tracking his every turn - in cars. He says it’s like end of days. 2021 y’all.

    One sad thing. Lots of us English spend the World Cup properly rooting for the Welsh. We love Gats, AWJ and co. Then England lose a game most of us thought they’d win after being immense last week, and the Welsh vitriol on here is endless. Shame really, and a little childish. X

    When the Police drive past in their cars or vans, my children and I wave and they always wave back. I’m teaching my kids to love the Police. I love them. They keep us safe. My girls and I are grateful. 👮‍♂️ 🚨

    Important point. One of the most legally savage games many of us can remember, yet no yellows or reds or head-related incidents. Fantastic.

    An unbelievable game of rugby with outstanding skill and incredible defensive tackle tech from both sets of players....not a single head on head review, all tackles ferocious but low. Big respect.

    We know Manu is a unit...so look at his big brother Henry...some of us had to (try to) tackle him. Never saw a unit like it. Him leaving @LeicesterTigers and signing for Perpignan was a truly great day!

    Remember, Wales won by MORE than the number of points they were gifted! Maths.

    Played in, watched, and called a lot of rugby matches over the years. I’ve never witnessed an atmosphere like that. Twice I found myself hoping @andNickMullins didn’t come to me as I couldn’t speak. Not one for unnecessary emotion, but this was incredibly special 🇯🇵

    Most of all, respect @KyleSinckler for being powerful, dominant, beastly, and utterly open and vulnerable at the same time. A true example.

    The key to hide and seek with children is to stay mobile. Move as they move. Inhabit spaces that have very recently checked and disregarded. Out-think them. Out-move them. Beat them.

    19-7 looks like a comfortable win for England. The truth is they battered New Zealand. Monstrous up front. Relentless everywhere. @ITVRugby #RugbyWorldCup19 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿
