I want to say Thank You to everyone for all your messages of support and generosity. It gives me and my family a huge amount of strength in a time of sadness for us. I will meet this challenge head on. Ultimately I can’t win but I will fight with everything. Hope is not lost.

It’s now over four years since Ed Slater was diagnosed with MND. Went round for a coffee and to watch him at work as a video analyst for Worcester Warriors, a role that’s given him invaluable purpose. Some man. thetimes.com/sport/rugby-uni…

So deflating watching that and seeing how far off we are from it. We're so scrappy and create about three chances, maximum, each game. If we don't take them we won't score and it's 80 minutes of watching us cover our arses. #cafc

If Bobby Madley had refereed this game then Van Bommel wouldn't have a yellow and Ajax would get a red for retaliation... #cafc

Back from the game. Three brilliant goals and a good win. Campbell outstanding 🔥 Grant is class 👌 Chalobah was quality 👏 Jones was unusually panicked at times but maybe adjusting to a back four and new combinations. #cafc

Most likely the last time I see England in a World Cup and the last thing I remember will be Tuchel going to ten at the back for twenty minutes 🤣🤣 #ENGARG

Tomos Williams obviously a big loss for Gloucester but I really think Englefield can be a really top player for us next season. Got an edge, ultra competitive, orders the forwards round well and has a great boot.

It is 10 years since Seb Adeniran-Olule died by suicide. This might be difficult to read, but I think it can be important as well. Thanks to those who were interviewed, especially Seb’s mum, Liz. thetimes.com/sport/rugby-uni…

Why it’s time to talk about Seb Adeniran-Olule’s death

A decade on from Harlequins prop’s death aged 20, his mother opens up about conquering her feelings about his suicide and what rugby can do to prevent another tragedy
