  • A fun little Attenborough fact: David Attenborough went to Clare college, and as such the college had a little bronze bust of him next to the buttery (cafeteria). The nose ended up very shiny, as it was considered good luck before exams to rub David’s nose.


  • I would absolutely cry about it. Who are you trusting to enforce the death penalty? The same people who are 1) in government, and 2) accuse queer people of being groomers?

    Even without arguing over whether the state would abuse/abuses the death penalty, there’s the fact that the punishment is irreversible, which in the event of a mistake means you execute an innocent person.






  • Feel Ireland lacked punch in the forwards. For that kind of tip on game you need the forwards to be getting at least parity on the gain line, and Doris couldn’t do it all on his own. McCarthy in particular was anonymous. Noticeable difference when a second 8 in Conan came on (though ofc France’s defence was more tired).

    From an England perspective I’m worried if we stick with a lightweight back row to start. Think we’re going to miss Willis massively v France, and probably have to start someone like CCS at 8 or have a lock at 6 (e.g. Chessum/Coles) to give that defensive heft for their carries off 9 and to get some go forward.
