I understand the commercial imperatives in getting the 2019/20 season finished, but this fixture cramming is throwing up some dull old mismatches. I gave up on Sale Bris after half an hour. Glaws/Tigers is no better. 4 tries for Thorley by halftime, it’s men against boys and we’re not even that good.

Currently in the Dordogne for a week before heading across to Provence for a week with the in-laws. Did the overnight ferry from Portsmouth on Saturday, all absolutely fine. Apart from mast wearing while shopping everything here seems surprisingly normal. Not a lot of British here yet but our school...

Try a Negroni. Gin, Red Vermouth, Campari in equal measures with a twist of orange. No mixers, all killer no filler. They taste like cats piss I have no frame of reference, but cats piss must be more delicious than I thought. Smoky martini combines both. I don't know of any where you can substitute...

Hanson is very underrated and his darts are top notch. It’s no coincidence that our lineout has suffered while he’s been out.

The first patient to be treated with new Dyson ventilator is responding well. Doctors have said he’s picking up nicely.

I can’t believe the government are relying on models to forecast the pandemic, they should ask scientists instead, they’re not as pretty but they know a lot more.

Jonny May back to Glaws. Him and that young taff lad on the wings - that's some serious gas And Thornley, and Marshall. Spending well. Woodward too don’t forget. That really is as good a back 3 selection as anyone in the league. As chuffed as I am to have Jonny back it really isn’t where our proble...

My wife and the entire staff (minus those isolating) were all told they had to be in today. 16 kids turned up so she’s now on a rota working 1 day a week.

Far better here today. Shelves have been pretty much empty since Wednesday and supplies at home were getting very low. Supermarket was no busier than a normal Saturday and while some shelves were empty there were loads of staff constantly restocking and you didn’t have to wait long to get what you n...

The great repatriation is on. Three BA 777s (a 772 and two 77Ws) arrived at Havana airport, believed to be collecting passengers from the Braemar. Plans are being developed to get BA's 388s into Malaga airport to assist with collecting the Brits about to be thrown out of their hotels. Fortunately, ...

Yep, several guys from work and a few from the club did the Bath half this morning. Crazy that it still went ahead.

Just popped over to see the in-laws. Father-in-law still in complete denial, even though he has significant health problems. Was out collecting for his local Lions all day yesterday and is planning on doing similar next Saturday! Thinks it’s all a fuss over nothing! I give up. In fairness, you shou...

I might have missed this in the thread, but France just closed all cafes, restaurants and non-essential services. I really hope the UK is as on top of this as you guys think it is.

Germany only lists deaths as coronavirus related if the deceased had no underlying conditions. If someone in the UK with lung cancer dies with coronavirus, they are listed as part of the statistics, whereas the same person dying in Germany would not be. IIRC that was also the Chinese approach until...

Some general thoughts: Youngs’ best game for years, why he doesn’t offer himself as a running threat in other matches is a mystery Slade looked like the player EJ thinks Daly is at 15 - solid under the high ball (albeit only a couple were really contested), surprisingly effective covering across in...

At the end of the day, the best team wins a game of rugby and you've just got to put your head down and work hard before next week

Exeter sign Hinkley from Gloucester. Bit of a sickner for Gloucester fans. Reckon he'll be decent. He’s going to be very good and should be getting far more opportunities at Gloucester right now which is probably why he’s leaving. With a fit Kriel in the squad you could understand it but now he’s g...

God we are awful. Brainless rugby given the conditions. Fair play to Sale but I don’t think I’ve seen a team have to do less to be leading at half time.

Thank god for Saracens. I really do think we’d have been in trouble this season otherwise.

how has Ben Morgan been playing ? he ever going to feature again for Eng ? Like the rest of the team, poorly. To be honest I wouldn’t have him starting for Glaws at the moment let alone England. Ackermann is a far better player now. There was talk a while back of Ackermann declaring for England whe...

Great player on his day and to be fair to him he’s spent most of this season trying to play while his front 5 have been going backwards.

There’s another one on 22 minutes against Curry, right in front of Peyper as well.

The shoulder to Itoje’s head in the other one is not very clever. I’d be surprised if he didn’t pick up a ban of some sort.

Daly is not a natural 15, but at the moment he's out best bet and should be kept there

Until Watson is fit you’re probably right, needs to go back on the wing then though.
