Princess Anne continues to merge with the Christopher Walken meme

The Challenge Cup is such a joke, that Stade Français’ April fools was selling out the stadium for a match

This is a novel Idea! It's almost as if it would be beneficial to form some kind of alliance, based on geographic proximity, economics and shared values.

Sensational news coming out of the WRU this morning! All parties have agreed on a coherent plan to move forward with 4 pro teams, while also funding huge developments in women's rugby, elite pathways and grassroots, all funded by a massive turnaround in fortune for the zipwire! More to follow...

All the teams need to do it.

The ball is squarely in Scotlands court now. Let’s see what side of history they decide they want to be on. #boyscot

I could have done a facile football bit and got thousands of reposts and likes, if I'd have chosen to pander to the mainstream like another person, whose name I won't mention. Anyway, happy April Fool's Day.

Waking up to see this bit of generic bit of Bluesky populism slop get 7k+ likes and 1k+ reposts, while my carefully crafted and genuinely funny insights get sod all, is a superb April Fools joke 🤌- fair play Jimbo

Shit, has anyone else been fooled by this? Be careful out there folks, it's a jungle.

Poland joining Ireland and Wales in a World Cup boycott is as welcome as it is expected. 🇵🇱💪🏼

We would have battered Italy 3-0

Bosnia!

Bosnia should have had a penalty there. Absolutely battering Italy, who are clinging on for dear life.

If I was coaching a team coming up against Leinster, I would 100% be instructing my nastiest players to rattle up Pendergast in any way possible - all within the letter of the law, of course. I mean why would any competent rugby team choise notto do that.

Honourable mention for Aimee Barrett-Theron, who put in an absolutely mental shift for Leinster on Friday night.

Now I'm no expert on aliens, Christianity or war, but if they will insist on waging a Christian war on someone / something, surely we would all be better off & safer if they focused their attention and resources on war with space, rather than with Iran? Like, I think we should be encouraging them.

The Scarlets (along with truth & integrity) were the joint victims of the biggest robbery since the Great Train one. And to think that IRT dare to cast aspersions at French directors, TMO’s & officals.

When @seiwilliams.bsky.social chronicles the decline and fall of Irish rugby, he needs to mention how their purchase of results masked the start of the collapse.

I'm still not over what happened in Dublin on Friday. I know that you need to accept a degree of home team bias in the officiating when you play away to one of the IRFU sides, but a 21 point swing in their favour, as a direct result of incorrect refereeing decisions, is still hard to stomach.

A disgrace of a league

-7 for Deegan's phantom try,+7 for Anderson's legit try. That's 29-27. Then you add in the 7 we would have had at the end if not for O'Brien's 'turnover', that's 29-34 - and that's before we get to the 12 Leinster scored while we had 2 joke yellows. The stats reflect the actual thrust of the game.

Couldn't agree more

Imagine needing multiple favours from the officials in order to win a match at home against the second string of a team that is under existential threat and has only one tenth of your budget.👏🏼👏🏼

Credit to Nige, hes done a n excellent job since coming in. We are keeping the ball alive in contact and playing the Llanelli way. 🇹🇷❤️

Corruption, corruption, corruption.

Oh yeah and I forgot Fletcher Anderson's perfectly good try not being awarded in the first half. A fucking scandal

Leinster gifted 2 phantom yellows when the chips were down in the first half, then a phantom try when Scarlets were back to within arm's reach, that's before we get to the illegality at every second breakdown. An absolute corrupt disgrace of a league.

O'Brien didn't release and then was miles iff his feet Fucking cheating and corrupt to the very end, even when they didn't need to be. Joke league

TMO can’t see the ball but let’s give the try anyway. #FuckIt #DogshitLeague

Hahahaha this is amazing. Even max deegan said hr didn't score that

Leinster getting away with murder on the deck.

She is letting Doris ref this FFS

2 nonsense yellows. Call has come in from URC head office

Try all day long get fucked linesman

While anyone enjoying watching their nation at USA 2026 will need to be rigorously cancelled, there is one small exception, one team that it is ok to support, the team that unites all of us and has given us so much joy over the decades. I'm pretty sure you all know which team I am referring to.

We single out Scotland because we care about our ancient celtic cousins and historical allies 🫶🏼. We just don't want you guys falling into the trap of enjoying the football this summer, as to do so would be to legitimise the Trump-Infantino PR machine. We are merely protecting you from yourselves.

Let's be clear on this : Scottish ⚽ fans cheering on their team at this summer's US world cup are willfully participating in Trump's fascist project. Had Cymru qualified, I know, FOR A FACT, that all Welsh football fans would have boycotted the tournament. History will judge the tartan army.

Like I said...

This cannot go to penalties. The Eastern European teams are always shit hot at pens.

Can Harry Wilson kick with his right foot?

The Bosnians are just a lot more physical up front. They won all the collisions 2nd half and their kick chase is killing us.

I'd back this, but unfortunately it is fantasy. Their economic might means that the US is the one country that can pull whatever awful shit they like, without fear of boycotts, international sanctions and the like. I just hope fans vote with their feet by not showing up.

I'm honestly not fussed about us making the US world cup. A big part of me would be happy for us havung nothing to do with it.

People say that the WRU will be the thing that kills off the Ospreys, but my money is on the climate emergency.

Bring it. I'll take on all the nans. Any time. Any place

You don't need to be no statistician to see that Llanelli are gonna fuck Leinster up reeeaaalll nice on Friday - and it will be no less than they deserve, HAHA fuck 'em!

My 6 month old border collie, Noisette, came to the office with me today. To keep herself occupied, she brought along one of her favourite treats from the garden, where she usually spends her days : a sprig of rosemary.

Sat behind the ultras at Nice-PSG🧨🧨🧨

Carwyn L-J is constantly getting charged down with those low drill kicks. They are excellent when they work, but the kick selection is something he needs to improve on.
