Today is a good day @UlsterRugby has given me a complementary, additional adjacent ST seat “to mitigate any sense of your ’being on your own‘” in recognition of our long support I am overwhelmed at their thoughtfulness #MyJulieRIP The culture I love is back❤️ @HughMcCaughey
Having given up our @UlsterRugby Season Tickets due to Julie’s #OvarianCancer I have taken the difficult step to buy a solitary ST It will be hard going by myself but she would have wanted that S play well lads!😁 #SUFTUM Thank you Eleanor for sorting me out👍 #MyJulieRIP🥲

I’d love if we could do this in Ireland. Get me a game for Terenure or Ballymoney RFC 🤷♂️. I would just only attack & not defend 😂 Be good craic!
🇳🇿 Ardie Savea turning up for a club game with Oriental-Rongotai RFC yesterday, scored two tries and was then interviewed post-game whilst eating a sausage sandwich. Also left $500 behind the bar for everyone after the game. Humble man. A great character in our sport.

I do think the reason I’ve continued to get better is because I started late though. I’ve always been keen to try new things and find new ways. Whereas, I find conventional goal kickers have a bad habit of doing what they’ve ’always done’ . Never really improving much

This is crazy. I still remember my brother giving out to me when I was in my 20s that I wasn’t a kicker. Through serendipity, I became one at 24. Roll forward 10 years and I see this! It’s been some journey and I’ve become utterly obsessed with it. I’m as curious as ever!

. @Ryanair This flight was a wedding present for my sister. How are you able to just change a flight that was booked for 8am to 5pm? No notification, no compensation?The original booking confirmation is even gone. Surely that’s illegal? A whole day missed now & they only had 2.

John Cooney slotted 7/7 kicks last time out in the URC, including 5/5 from within 10m of either touchline. The last player I can find to attempt 5+ kicks from within 10m of the touchline without missing in the URC was Dan Biggar v Scarlets in 2012 (5/5).
