That big news I teased yesterday?
I've written a book!
Attacking the Space: Inside Rugby's Tactical and Data Revolution is the book I wanted to read as a rugby obsessive kid. It will be released on the 29th January 2026, the pre-order link is:

This set of extraordinary interviews from @edslater and me, are still available to download and listen to. Just as important today as when we recorded them.
We ask the top names in the sport what rugby gave them - unbelievable insight

Congratulations to @HitchikersPie and @JacCooper1 who guessed 110 and 112 - the correct answer was 111.
We'll get signed copies out to you both.
If you didn't win, we'll do another one for the Autumn Internationals so keep an eye out for that!

Dean Adamson has scored in 10 of his last 11 #ChampRugby games 😳
Is he the greatest try scorer in the league’s history?
What a sensational match in the @Champrugby between @CoventryRugby and @Blackheath_1858
The Londoners clawed their way back into it from being way down at half time but Cov just hold out.
If you're not watching Champ rugby on @clubberrugby you are missing out!
Reminder to get your guesses in before 15.05 tomorrow!
How many 22-Entries will we see across the whole Prem weekend?

This week in the i I look at what has happened at Quins and how they've failed to keep up with a changing game which no longer rewards the style they employed when they were successful.
And how they haven't adapted to that....

Very good this, from @CornishPirates1 and @clancy1213 !!
What an incredible game to cover for @clubberrugby! 🎙️🏉
Five years to the day since @CornishPirates1 last picked up a victory over @ealingtfrugby — and what a way to end the wait!
Gripping. Tense. Dramatic. A fitting finish to a brilliant contest.

Some utterly bleak Quins numbers from a chastening day at Kingsholm:
A solitary ruck in the home 22.
Three 22 entries total.
49 missed tackles.
5 scrum pens, 17 total
No starting forward carried more than four times. Collectively, they carried just 20 times for a total of 33m.

Will the rolling maul be a prominent feature in @Champrugby this weekend? 🤔
Incredible insight from @SamLStandsUp and @SamRobertsComms on the rolling maul 👏
#ClubberTV
As the new seasons kicks off, here are the questions the Prem sides need to answer.
Can Leicester continue their streak of Moneyball signings? Can Bath keep things rolling if they don't have Russell?

First-weekend thoughts on @premrugby from @SamLStandsUp for @TheiPaperSport.
Trends not easy to pick out, when the 50 points at Harlequins made it the lowest-scoring match, but Sam has spotted a few...

Delighted to be back on duty with the i! As the new Prem season begins I looked at the big questions from each club.
Can Saints keep up this run without a solid defence? Will Venter's return come with more brilliant tactical creations?
