There's a reason the Bee is our symbol in Manchester.
Togetherness. Hard work. Sacrifice. And we don't, and won't, stop xxx

Ruptured achilles, likely season ender for AJ Macginty. At 35, hope it's not career ender too!
He was my 1st draft pick so my @DraftXVRugby team also screwed. Creative trading incoming.
You can still start your Draft league - URC & Prem. Works same even though seasons started.
Delighted The "Prem" is now proactively celebrating danger inherent in rugby. It's a key part of why many play and watch. The risk IS the reward!
I *also feel gaslit
I've banged this drum on our pod for 12yrs, never moving from the opinion that it's rugby's 'special sauce' 1/3
I worked on Premiership coverage for 7 years, when content celebrating legal big hits were taken off air because of "optics".
I was regularly told I was "irresponsible" for talking about enjoying legal, codified violence as a key ingredient in rugby's sporting competition 2/3
Sacha FM (my favourite radio station), having the kind of game that doesn't just win a Test Match...
...it makes you think he has SUCH generational talent that he could be THE face rugby union, let alone Springbok rugby, to market the game to the world.
Unreal! #RSAvARG
I have properly missed Draft fantasy rugby!
SO much better than salary cap games. Week 1 @DraftXVrugb match up is going down to the wire. Radwan & Hodge vs Ibitoye & Feyi-Waboso will decide it.
The "football-ification" of rugby is going too far. Referees becoming the story when there's 80 minutes of rugby to dissect.
And the TV coverage is a catalyst. Everyone's guilty of it, but Stan Sports may be the most egregious culprits. Detracts from a great game #NZLvAUS
You couldn't watch ProD2 in the UK...
I bought the rights!
There wasn't a Draft fantasy rugby game...
I've made one!
Very proud of @DraftXVRugby. Infinitely better than salary cap games.
@URCOfficial & @premrugby games live NOW

SCRUM OF THE YEAR! *Sound ON*
World Rugby may try to depower it...
Pundits may call it boring...
But Scrum IS Rugby 😍🍆🔥
Why should you wait for the weekend for LIVE rugby?!
George North, Jimmy Gopperth, Teimana Harrison, Sam Davies...and a place in the ProD2 final on the line:

One of the absolute highlights of this #RWC2023 has been discovering Tim's videos. His honesty, humility and respect for the game has been reflected in the comments section. So here, for the 1st time in history, I will recommend you read a comment section: youtube.com/watch?v=hi6mFeUL…
