Half time in Bordeaux and the Quins props have been quite immense. How enjoyable!

My pen ran out. Sorry.

Only playing… what a day at Twickenham. Mega noise, mega drama, proper job. England are back.

And Dan Cole for Prime Minister.

Does that mean the England are the best team in the world now?

On this week’s Flats&Shanks podcast we discuss ADHD and, well, it’s prompted quite the response. My phone has gone a bit wild. Hyperactive, you could say…

Have enjoyed watching Kyle Sinckler these last few weeks. His performance v Lyon a particular highlight. He’s looking good. Strong and aggressive. Bit of niggle.

And Luatua - verging on immaculate amidst the chaos.

The Chiefs wingers are very obviously playing very well indeed, but so is Noah Heward. Looks fantastic! Another former Worcester player adding huge value in his new home.

Six months ago Sam, one of our SouthgateMinisRFC under-7s passed away hours after being diagnosed with acute myeloid leukaemia. It's been the toughest of times for his family and we're trying to raise £10k towards childhood leukaemia, please support us justgiving.com/page/alexander…

…and those Quins!

How about those Chiefs!

Tom Foley is a lovely bloke and one of the very best refs. All a bit sad, really.
