‘They saw the passion of the people of South Africa and New Zealand’: Siya Kolisi, and others, on battle in Baltimore and selling rugby in the US
‘Rugby’s Greatest Rivalry’ produced a fine game and a deserved series win for the Springboks over the All Blacks. I tried to watch, and ask questions, from an American POV.

Growing up in Leigh, I was taught early by family to have zero time for Wigan RLFC and anything associated with them.
However that rule didn't apply to Billy Boston, who was spoken of with reverential tones by my elder relatives. My grandad spoke of the power and speed, alloyed with his class. 1/

Love it when a random law that was last used in 1987 leads to players getting the hump because they've no idea it existed.
"Sir, why a scrum on halfway"
"Immediately grounded off the kick off"
"Yeah but, er, well, er, why?"
"Immediately grounded off the kick off"

I believe rugby needs a Siya Kolisi graphic novel so much that I commissioned an artist to bring the concept alive.

I have the Greggs app (of course) and for the last two days it's pinged me notifications suggesting I buy something for a "quicknic".
I now actually want the whole of the UK to set on fire.
