Loyal keeper of the recently departed beagle duo Rory & Ted. When not stuck in a bunker @RLGCHoylake you may hear me talking on the telly.

"That is an unbelievable try!" 🇿🇦 @SAJuniorRugby are bringing their pace and power to the pitch ⚡ #WorldRugbyU20s
It’s vanity in the extreme, but …reading one’s own obituary must be one of the few things life denies us but which we’d love to be able to do.
Hey @Retief_Dan, according to this chump on SABC, during their pre-Test buildup, you've been dead since 2010. Pretty sure I saw you in Claremont Pick n Pay the other day 😂🤣
Can @EnglandRugby follow last week’s stunning victory against @lospumas with more of the same in San Juan. @huntie_1 and I are on @SkySportsRugby from 8.30pm. #ARGvENG
The person who can call off this deal is, of course, Gibbs-White. He pecked the badge, pledged his troth to #NFFC yet his silence suggests he is determined to move to @SpursOfficial

Anthony Elanga has completed a permanent transfer to Newcastle United. We would like to thank Anthony for his contributions in a Forest shirt and wish him every success in his future career.
T-minus 1 week until Calamity sees Open Championship golf for the third time in its history.
Fantastic @EnglandRugby performance in victory against @lospumas Defended valiantly as indiscipline threatened to undo them in first half before dominating the second 40. George Ford demonstrated why he should be in 23 for first @lionsofficial Test v @wallabies #argveng
At 8.30 tonight on @SkySports it’s @EnglandRugby v @lospumas George Ford earns his 100th cap for England and coach Steve Borthwick tells me “George Ford, if he wants to, is a future England coach …he understands the game like very few with an unparalleled rugby brain.” #ARGvENG
Compliment to depth in French rugby & toughness of Top 14 that just 1 of the match 23 that beat Ireland in Dublin featured in the match 23 that lost 31-27 v @AllBlacks in Dunedin.
Defeat for Wales in Japan was always a distinct possibility. But to lose in that fashion, from such a commanding position, to a Japanese side with eight debutants is desperate stuff. Heat/fatigue a clear factor in the final quarter. 18 defeats in a row.
Deary me. 🏴 beaten 24-19 by Eddie Jones' 🇯🇵 in Kitakyushu. Winless run now extends to 18 Tests. What an awful Test match. 🇯🇵 were truly dreadful for most of that match and 🏴 still found a way to lose, failing to score after the break. Another new low.
Shocking Wales collapse to their 18th defeat in a row. Japan poor but still good enough to win says it all. A grim scenario keeps getting grimmer.
Never misses a chance to bite back …
Damn they manage to decipher our Afrikaans game plan! Kudos to you! Great spying 🤝
Mabuza presided over a province characterised by corruption and politically-motivated killings. Yet his death has been marked by gushing eulogies. The Cat was no angel.

Funny to think that a year ago Justin Rose spent his Tuesday grinding it out at Burnham & Berrow for a spot in the Open. This year, it's the Royal Box at Wimbledon.
