The Scottish Women's Rugby team have grown so much in recent years. Credit to Brian Easson. They are a joy to watch. Sadly the Scottish Rugby Union have really let them down. 15 contracts is a joke. I fear all the recent momentum will be lost. #Rugby
Good to meet you yesterday. Off the field the amount of pink bows in support of Georgia Evans yesterday was something else.
Great day at the Rugby in Exeter yesterday, in spite of the results. Met the @squidgerugby.bsky.social boys who do some great stuff and the daughter got some photos with Welsh players, and a decent chat with Gwen Crabb
Portree and the seas around it were marvellous yesterday.
We've got sunshine for the second day in a row on our Skye holiday, and the rain definitely hasnt been hot here. It's still been magnificent
The gardens at Dunvegan Castle were blooming lovely today
It may have been a wee bit dreich at times since we arrived but Skye has been magnificent at all times
It wasn't the result I was hoping for but still a great day. Gutted that these 2 great servants of Tigers didn't get the W to sign off. Still Finn Russell was a joy to watch.
A few weeks ago "So we're wearing our Finn shirts if Bath make the final?"
"Of course...mind you Tigers could be there too"
"You can deal with that if it happens."
I'll be the really warm bloke in his Tigers top and Finn Shirt!
Le Tour De Kilts are off to Twickenham, where we'd already agreed to wear our Finn Russell shirts...luckily they go with Tigers colours #Rugby
Amazon packaging never ceases to surprise me....
Field of purple flowers caught my eye on the way home
Me "Good shift out there today, nice try too."
Youngest "Yeah...I was happier with my carrying and off-loads than the try. That was just short-range and carrying a couple of their players over the line." Spoken like a forward
Luckily it's a company vehicle so doesn't hit my pocket
No it's all internal - it's a hybrid and the electric motor battery plus the starter battery have stopped charging...so it's pretty dead
How have your travels been recently Doug? Well this sums it all up rather well
I'm hoping she's got at one piece of extremely oversized kit 😀
My niece has been working as a video analyst for both Glasgow Warriors and Scotland Rugby....I admit to a tinge of stash envy when she sent me a video of her SRU kit.
Good news, my shirt matches the Youngest's boots. Eldest said he's saving his pink until tomorrow.
When your joining up with your sons U15 Rugby tour and the theme is 'pink' - this should meet the brief.
Enjoyed the Holy Trinity whilst in Ireland this week...Beamish is an under rated pint, and may well be my favourite.
Bumped into the eldest son at Twickers...youngest was there too, but running free with his Maidstone team mates
Hi ho, hi ho, it's off to Twickers for the Rugby we go. Obviously I'm strictly neutral given it's the Red Roses v France...
Got a Yellow Card for a no arms tackle....yet again too though.
Love what my wee club and others have got going for SEND Rugby

To everyone who sponsored me and Gift Aided it - thank you. You're all marvellous.
Very chuffed to be awarded this today.
It's been a good few weeks of reffing - until the hammy went reffing Junior 7s on Sunday, so I popped my trackies on and helped out as an AR. If you're hanging up playing boots, pick up a whistle and stay involved.
Magic morning reffing the Youngest whilst his big Brother was taking the photos.
