Wishing I’d been in the stadium yesterday Huge night out I imagine Like after 2nd test on that tour when we won !
I was on the 2017 tour of NZ with you and Ding’s lot. Hope you’re well.
This contact is exactly like contact in the scrum which is shoulder to shoulder with head down & like the scrum if the Aussie player’s head is too low he hinges & ends up dangerously head down - hence the law (rarely prosecuted) players should have shoulders above hips in rucks
This is my point to show its neck contact:
Technically below shoulder line as his head and shoulders were below his waist which in itself is an offence by the laws enabled to protect players - so first offence was from the Australian player - not usually called but if we are talking player protection then it should be
Called to review foul play. No binding, contact above shoulder line. Penalty.
Because once a player illegally has his shoulders below his hips in a ruck - check the laws - how is it possible to clear them out So 1st offence Tizzano enters from the side, 2nd shoulders below hips then Morgan arrives so pen Lions for first 2 offences -also ban for play acting
Because a high clean out, just like a high tackle, is about where you hit the guy. Not their body position. Not sure why you’re arguing that as a point
How is that a high clean out when Tizzano’s head is level with his knees? Which btw, by the laws of the game is illegal in a ruck
I just don’t understand how a ref can say they both came into the ruck at the same time. Tizzano on the ball. Illegal, high clean out, to get him off. This is just a ref not wanting to make a call to define a game, but sadly it can’t be stopped. #AUSvLIO #Lions2025
On the legality question Tizzano came into the ruck from the side - on the morality question he dived more dramatically and further than Ian Thorpe
Dive or not, Tizzano is first on the ball to an isolated carrier and they desperately go off feet to clear him out & seal off the ruck in the process. Two brave Lions lying lower than a snake's belly after missile cleans!
This is my front row at work - build manager Tom, structural engineer Martin and me - about 375 kg of beef on the hoof right there I want to start a hashtag to see your front rows! #OnlyForwards

. So week 3 of walking complete and we completed 123. 1 miles this week, but we still have 14 more days to go to walk 445 miles but we are away tomorrow for a week so lots of working going to be done @The_NFRSA @CotswoldLadyB gofund.me/7bfb7306
So this is the first try for NZ where the player runs towards three French players who are blocked by another Kiwi - who then becomes the player that stops the jackal - this is one phase before the try? Were the ref and TMO asleep?
Yes but to be fair when you cook as a gluten free person with fresh ingredients you know which products to substitute on any recipe - even a new one surely?
I keep tagging them asking for a gluten free episode and to have @beckyexcell on as she's our best advocate for gluten free recipes. The percentage of the population now coeliac or gluten intolerant (which is not a lifestyle choice) is huge.
Wonder how Rugby players would feel if all businesses brought their kids in at the end of the job Waiter hugging his kids at the end of the meal Taxi driver hugging his kids whilst your trying to pay Pilot hugging his kids as you leave the plane 🙄😂 #BritishandIrishLions
Because the audience isn’t vegan - 4.7% are so you can’t have the whole show dedicated to one in 20 people watching & I say this as someone who wrote a vegan/veggie cookbook I’d think overall @SaturdayKitchen the number of vegan/veggie recipes are demographically representative
@SaturdayKitchen #SaturdayKitchen Genuine question: presumably the chefs know who the guest is days or weeks in advance. So when the guest is vegan, why don't they cook exclusively vegan food?
New @DIYSOS coming soon to your telly boxes - can’t say enough about the amazing trades and volunteers we are working with from the Preston area 😊👍🏼
What a tremendous test match of top class cricket between @englandcricket and @sp_Indiacricket And what a conclusion - genuine commiserations to India who fought so hard and congratulations to England - who also fought like Lions Proper summer sporting class
Anne Marie Patisserie Ascot - proper old fashioned iced buns For those that wanted to know where to get them

Does anyone know where you can buy proper traditional iced buns anywhere near Windsor - and I don’t mean supermarket ones - from a bakery?

Still some of my all time favourite music and never seen him or them live - I hope he returns to good health soon The in depth documentary on him “Mr Blue Sky”with contributions from huge music legends is truly epic
So sadly no @JeffLynnesELO tonight as Jeff Lynne is unwell. This gig was going to be one of the highlights of my summer 💙 His music was the soundtrack to my youth Wishing you a speedy recovery Sir. ‘Shining’ a little love (on your life)!
I can only assume and hope it was the Aussies in the crowd booing Farrell when he appeared if you can’t see the influence and benefit he has on the team and the time he has on the ball you don’t understand the game - and don’t take it from me listen to ROG #BritishandIrishLions
