I used to think injuries were the end of the world.
Now I know even in the hardest moments, life presents opportunities.
MND is unimaginably difficult, but it’s also given me unexpected gifts.
I’ve met incredible people, felt overwhelming support from friends and strangers, and together with Gloucester Rugby & the GR Foundation, built @4edfundraising to help others living with MND.
Most importantly, I get to spend almost every day with my wife and kids—seeing them off to school, welcoming them home, sharing precious time.
Is it ideal? No. I can’t wrap my arms around them, ride bikes, drive to clubs, or play in the garden.
But being here, present in their lives, is an opportunity and privilege I’ll never take for granted.
Keep looking for those opportunities. 👌❤️

"It is a famine. The Gaza Famine.
It is a famine that we could have prevented, if we had been allowed. Yet food stacks up at borders because of systematic obstruction by Israel.
Everyone owns this. The #GazaFamine is the world’s famine."

ITV pulling zero punches in this incredible footage - "This landscape of destruction looks otherworldy, but it's not, it's this world - What is happening may come to define one of its darkest eras, one that casts a stain on humanity, which will endure for generations" #Gaza

The absolute incapacity of Western leaders to enforce intl law when it comes to Israel is EPIC.
Ministers, Prime Ministers, Presidents of Republic:
Doing NOTHING, diverting attention, sanctioning individual ministers IS NOT enforcing the intl law that was developed after the Holocaust and WWII to prevent another Holocaust and WWII.
At this critical point,
Your states have a CLEAR obligation to:
1. Sanction Israel
2. Impose a total arms embargo (no buy, no sell, no transfer, direct or indirect)
3. Break the siege (send navies instead of dropping food on the head of starving genocide survivors)
4. Suspend all trade agreements with Israel till the end of the genocide, occupation and apartheid.
5. Investigate and prosecute individuals and orgs that have committed crimes in the oPt.
Together we can, and we will.

A giant of a man taken far too soon.
Our beloved colleague and friend, Dave Fagan, has passed away after a short illness.
Rest easy Dave.
All our thoughts are with Pam, Shauna, Ciarán, Eoin and all his family.

There isn't one quote we could pick out of this interview to do it justice. If there is one interview you watch today, make it this one with @matmohoric.
On n'a pas su choisir une seule citation qui rendrait hommage à l'interview. Du coup si vous devez écoutez un seul interview en entier aujourd'hui, faites en sorte que ce soit celui de @matmohoric.

Another great insight into the GRFC performance model, this time all things game speed with @d_grange23
Great work, Grangey!

Time to bid farewell to a special place. After 6 years @gloucesterrugby, we are going on an adventure to Oz! Excited to start a new challenge in Melbourne, in the AFL. Feeling very privileged to have worked with some amazing people, too many to mention but friends for life! 🤙

Privileged to have been traveling reserve and then get a late call up to @twelvetrees88 testimonial match #4Ed. The legends playing and the level they still operate at was far beyond my capabilities, but what an experience! (1/2)
@gloucesterrugby is such a family orientated place, so it was no surprise that everyone came together to show support for Billy and @edslater, both hugely inspirational men. From now on though, I'll stick to the cycling! #4Ed (2/2)
