Just spoke with Jose Mourinho in the tunnel. He says that after 15 year old ball boy Callum Hynes joined the team today for their pre-match lunch, he will now be inviting a different ball boy/girl to do the same ahead of every home game. Nice touch.

Commentated on an ENG v AUS game at Twickenham with Brian a few yrs ago.
He arrived 30 secs before teams came out with an enormous pie. Huge.
Whole thing was devoured in those 30 secs. Straight into comms without a burp or a belch. Never been so impressed by anything in my life.
My England career began with a Calcutta Cup, and my BBC co-comms career on the Men's 6 Nations will end on Saturday with another.
Thank you to all at BBC Sport, especially my mate, Eddie Butler. It's been a privilege to work on some unforgettable sporting occasions.
