Pontypool sticking 40 points on Swansea is a marvellous way to start the weekend's rugby...

Also, a moment to appreciate Nafi Thiam. The first combined eventer to win three Olympic titles. You don't do that, let alone back-to-back, by accident. Truly one of the greatest. 6880 is Nafi's third best ever heptathlon, 6844 Kat's second. The battle we always wanted.

This is so great, and it also emphasises something that the usual sorts are too thick/obtuse/racist to understand: that identity - national, cultural, whatever - isn't binary. You can be many things at the same time, which doesn't dilute any of them.
Scenes at Edgbaston where India are playing Pakistan but people are watching the England game. 2 sets of rival supporters united by their love of England! #PakvsInd #ENGSUI #comeonengland #england

Wales have come on quite a bit since the Six Nations for me, there's much more evidence of a plan that might work with this squad of players, but poor discipline, setpiece, and a few dumb moments of going away from that have a huge impact in a team lacking experience & maturity.

Based on Labour’s shadow cabinet, 84% went to comprehensive schools, 10% went to private schools and 6% to state grammar schools. That would mean for the first time the cabinet closely reflected British society. theguardian.com/politics/liv…

Sad news, M*A*S*H Fans. The O.G. Hawkeye, Donald Sutherland, has passed away. Sutherland originated the role of Hawkeye Pierce in the 1970 Robert Altman film that inspired the TV series. He was 88. #GoodbyeFarewellandAmen variety.com/2024/tv/news/don…

Dear Deirdre, I’m really feel like getting behind Scotland tonight in the Euros. Is this wrong, or has sufficient time passed since the Joe Jordan handball in 1977 that it’s ok now? Yours, Confused Equatorial Taffs Well ⚽️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇩🇪

Mike Lange is (and will always be) the definitive voice for all things Penguins. But Bob Cole's call of Mario Lemieux's iconic goal against the Minnesota North Stars in the 1991 Stanley Cup Final matched the moment perfectly. RIP.
