I can’t think of anything funnier for a bunch of tinfoil hat Afrikaners than a Maine winter

Swag

How the hell do you send Ramos there?

South Africa vs Australia

Got his ass

A good guideline is you should never watch porn in the office. Well, there’s exceptions for everything.

My son dug into a box of stuff in my shed, so I found this on the floor. The halcyon days when Wales were the hottest team in rugby. They won this Test 77-3. I got to watch this match with my grandfather, one of the very few Yanks to speak Cymraeg as a first language.

I am not ready for Tim Lincecum’s first win to be 18 years ago

This is why your scrum half shouldn’t get himself sent off in the first half. Silly boy Serin.

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL!!!!!!!!!

Who says men can’t multitask

Follow me, I’m delicious, said the milkshake duck.

I love watching Uini Atonio play because it’s illustrative of how far you can get in rugby by walking. And that’s quite far!

I changed my Wales bobble hat for a France one at half time, that’s the depth of my inner turmoil

Wales at full time: we’re so back!!!!!

Wales 40 minutes ago: we’re so back!!!!!! Wales now: we’re so over

J’suis désolé, Fabien

I’m in a Wetherspoons in Penge and four older men are passing around the programme from the last London Welsh match. One of them has a book called the International Rugby Encyclopaedia. Is it acceptable for me to abandon my wife and child to join these bloody legends?

Imagine getting owned this hard by Matt Forney. Christ, I’d want to die.

How’s your day going, mine is class. Story in three photos.

Vive France-Galles!

I’m really proud of this pun

This is just too easy

Last time I was in Paris, there were some terrific depictions of what to do with Nazis.

My son had a poonami and I’m still in a good mood because I saw most of the Stade Toulousain-Leicester game (bar some cleanup early in the second half). How can anybody dislike watching this team? Yeah they’re loaded, but they play to entertain and bloody hell, was that entertaining.

#rugbyhistory (sorta…) The NFL divisional playoffs are here and I’m listening to two all-time great games, played on the same *day*, 4-1-1981. The first, an infamous Oakland Raiders-Cleveland Browns showdown, where the Kardiac Kids gave northern Ohio a heart attack… youtu.be/FuiMiCkbJ14?...

100% with the Glasgow Warriors winger (Cancelliere?) wearing long sleeves AND long johns tonight. Brrrrrrr. 🥶

Lions discourse is the worst in rugby. 1) like Tesco and Christmas, too much too early. Saw my first Lions XV at least 6 months ago. 2) all 4 grumble about too few of their boys picked, ruining the vibes. 3) Oz/NZ/SA often go over the top in desire to stuff “Poms”. Spirit of game goes out window.

If the 49ers don’t win 12 games or more next year, I wonder if it’s time to say bye to Kyle. This is a cream puff schedule.

“Kamala Harris to Bernie Sanders: "I know it’s not in your nature to stand where you are supposed to…” Me reading that, watching the video where she says that:

Oh chapeau, BBC Sport copy editor who came up with this. Your next job should be at the New York Post.

This is a cracking (craicing?) book. Still at the turn of the century but the game’s rise from its Protestant origins to take its place in the elite Catholic colleges — in a pretty narrow window to do so — has been expertly chronicled so far.

#rugbyhistory Watching the 2nd greatest Test of all time* and was reminded of, hands down, the funniest on screen statistic in rugby history. *Australia-New Zealand, 2000 Tri Nations. France-New Zealand from the 1999 Rugby World Cup is number one. I will not listen to objections.

#nerdalert Nerds love their booky books, and also flannel pillows with earth tone coloured designs.

Shaking with rage right now that Sky Sports is choosing not to show the Fenway Bowl in deference to the enormous UCONN fan community here in this sceptred isle.

Reflecting on iconic 2000s fashions: 1) trucker hats 2) low rise jeans 3) Welsh regional jersey hoodies

On today, a day where Christmas and Hanukkah happen at the same time, I have seen the best thing I’ll see all day. This is perfect comedy. www.instagram.com/reel/C9z-W0v...

The WRU statement on Facebook said Abi Tierney challenged Gatland to lead Wales to success in 2025, which begs the question of whether she was aware that is part of the job spec before today. In other news, Nigel Walker is today’s designated sacrificial lamb.

Thanks a bunch Danilo, ruined my perfect plans of a Celtic League Cup win dovetailing perfectly into the Stade Toulousain game. You big jerk.

The Stephen Jones column about the European Cup was good, inane lines about the Sabbath aside. 5.30 on a Sunday is anti-fan. I would be on a train to Exeter right now to watch Stade Toulousain otherwise! The competition is a mess and not having any Welsh teams is a nonsense.

This is the rugby version of those New York Times articles where the husband and wife each make $250K a year and complain they still feel poor, and their budget has line items like “children’s private school fees”, “yacht club membership”, and “Tuscan villa rental”

LBB, TGV, both have three letters

Premier Sports is just shocking, man. Their phone app is worse than useless. All I want to do is watch the Racing*-Quins game while I’m getting the wee man to bed. *I find it grimly hilarious that they’re still in Créteil because concerts make their owner more money

Saracens-Bulls or Munster-Stade Français? Help a man out

#rugbyhistory #lhistoiredurugby In the 1920s, it was not unknown for French players in the South-West (home of both the béret and rugby) to wear a béret on the pitch, as seen here. Bring back the béret to rugby! Remettre le béret au rugby !

Barnier ciao, Barnier ciao, Bernier ciao ciao ciao

Zero shame in listening to Espresso as much as I did
