A question for @WorldRugby @worldrugbymedia … if 20 minute red cards are adopted globally, what measures will you take to modify and change player behaviour, especially with regard to high tackles and head contact?

Fan-focused rugby laws move closer to global implementation after positive trials ▶️Increased ball-in-play time by 2 mins ▶️Shorter total match time by up to 5 mins ▶️Quicker lineouts, scrums and kicks ▶️More contestable restarts world.rugby/news/963853/fa…



Are they serious?!? Curry was knocked out 9 days ago; so much for player welfare!!!

Squad update 📋 Cadan Murley and Tom Curry have been called up to England’s 36-player squad ahead of Sunday’s clash against Japan. @O2 | #WearTheRose

Always believed there was no “i” in “team” so really do not understand why World Rugby keeps pushing these individual awards. Celebrate the team as any win is the result of a collective effort!

The way Kolbe takes the ball in mid air … really, really regretting being so well behaved last weekend and not asking for a selfie!!!

Majestic ❤️



We came so bloody close to winning the match too! If love could cure MND, Doddie would have been cured on the spot 💔

On this day 7⃣ years ago 💙💛 An unforgettable precusor to an unforgettable contest. #AsOne



Looking forward to seeing what Nucifora does - reckon he could be hugely positive for Scottish rugby in both the short and longer term.

David Nucifora has arrived - and after an underwhelming autumn so far, Rob explains why victory over the Wallabies is essential Read this week’s column from @ROB_Robireland ⬇️ scotlandrugbynews.com/opinion/247300…

Sir Ian 🦁 If there is one person who knows what wearing a Lions jersey means it is him... You can watch his full Lions Origin story with @canterburyNZ now ➡️ youtube.com/watch?v=40F7W-…

The lack of accountability and management surrounding concussions has been an utter disaster. Week after week they continue to happen, and there is zero ownership. You can’t manage what you don’t recognise 🧠🏉😡😘


Has to be!

Coach of the year? Step forward, Joe Schmidt...



Please don’t set us a challenge for next weekend!!!

Welsh rugby is an utter mess and embarrassment - no disrespect to Australia who were superb but can’t see any other tier 1 side conceding most those tries so so easily



That icky moment when you realise you’re playing Australia next weekend …

Freddy Douglas made something mad like six tackles in his first few minutes on the park. Took up yoga at 14 to help his jackaling. Wept during the anthem. A first pro game in front of 60k at Murrayfield. What a moment, what a future.

First professional match ✅ First cap for Scotland ✅ A moment to remember for 19-year-old Freddie Douglas as he steps on for his first cap for Scotland in his first ever professional match 😳 #AutumnNationsSeries #SCOvPOR

Hope the 745 game raises lots of money for MND charities today... Great to see current @Scotlandteam women's assistant coach @mattbanahan1, ex-Scotland men's cap @KyleTraynor + Doddie Weir's sons Angus + Hamish in the rugby union 'Team Slater' squad that'll be playing in Leeds

I love this!!!

Freddy Douglas (cap 1234) today became Scotland's youngest capped male player since 1963, taking over from Donald White (cap 715). Here they are together 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 #AsOne

Absolutely superb by Kolbe #ENGvRSA


Hope @BristolBears and their fans are listening to the @rugbyontnt commentators on Tim Jordan - lovely to hear such positivity about a player! #SCOvPOR


I mean, there’s winning your first cap and then there’s winning your first cap in your first professional match - Freddy Douglas #SCOvPOR


Love that from @Luke_W_Pearce mentoring the referee #SCOvPOR
