this week, here’s Steve Hackney’s try against Bristol from 1995. In my opinion, the best try in the history of the club.
Arguably the greatest try in the history of

Nobody. Opposes. The. Safe. Opening. Of. Schools.
SAFE opening.
SAFE.
Jesus wept. Just had a little look at the prices for
@EnglandRugby
in the Autumn Internationals.
I think that’s me permanently priced out. The Argentina game is between £91 and £117. I daren’t look at the All Blacks.
England are for the wealthy and the corporates now 😞
Referees and World Rugby need to get serious on clear outs like this. We’ve seen several injuries that have put players out the game for upwards of a year as a result of similar cowardly acts. Should have been a red and a lengthy ban. Hopefully
@RuanAckermann
recovers quickly.

please excuse Jasper Wiese if he’s slightly late for training today? Last seen on the A6 pulling over to assist a driver whose tyre had exploded. What a guy!
Stop buying the sun.
Stop clicking on sun stories.
Block the sun from your social media.
Stop accepting a free Sun from the shop.
Be vocal and tell people why it’s such a cock of a paper.
A paper written by and for morons.

Amazing! I’d been looking for years for footage of this try by

. Hero!
Huge praise for
@cadan_murley
in this. Really didn’t have to attend the hearing to support Ashton’s appeal for the tackle on him but did so, and helped convince the panel that it wasn’t a red card offence. Thank you Cadan - you won’t need to buy a beer in Leicester for a while!
My Saints supporting colleague asked earlier when
@LeicesterTigers
get their bye week.
I don’t think “we’ve just had it 😂” was the answer he was looking for.
Relentless intensity against Exeter? ✅
Holding on under pressure against Gloucester? ✅
Finding something in the tank at the end when the chips were down today? ✅
You better believe this is an

@JerseyRedsRugby
On behalf of the whole rugby community, two things:
1. Devastated to hear this. You are a great community club who we all wanted to see having a fair crack to the top table.
2. 🖕to the RFU for their overt negligence of the domestic game.
THE GREATEST MOMENT IN FREDDIE BURNS' LIFE! 🤩
Comes on to replace an injured George Ford, picks up an injury himself, soldiers on, and kicks the drop-goal to win the match 🤯
Simply incredible!
#GallagherPremFinal
As someone who was born in Leicester, grew up in Leicester and now teach in Leicester, Cruella Braverman can fuck right off with her divisive and wildly inaccurate bullshit about multiculturalism in our city.
We should be a hell of a lot more angry that the Tories are able to flagrantly lie with complete impunity. It’s too easy to do and there’s no penalty to it.
This week Boris Johnson lied to MPs, not once but twice, saying nurses are getting 12.6% more then they were 3 years ago
Most nurses got just 1.65% in April!
Why is this charlatan not being exposed on every UK news channel?
Hands up all those who would love nothing more for Saints to spring a surprise in the semi final and for Ashton to score the winning try in the last minute at Twickenham?
Still making sense of what I’ve seen. Yes,
@LeicesterTigers
were poor, kicked badly and looked like losing for large parts. But you know what, I don’t care. We found a way to win and after all this time away from the place, we got a classic Welford Road atmosphere at the end.
@GavinWilliamson
Thanks Gavin. Can we take those words to the bank and pay bills with them…?
Worth pointing out by the way that many of those challenges came from you.
I can only applaud
@londonirish
and
@LeicesterTigers
for engineering a situation this afternoon where both
@nicdolly1
and
@parton15
were on the pitch and the score was 9 to 5.
Sometimes it all just comes together beautifully 👌
@thetimes
I will never cease to be staggered by the extent to which those claiming to be pro free speech have no idea what free speech actually entails.
I’ll be travelling down to London with

members on the streets, standing up for education. I’d rather be teaching, but this battle is too important to lose.
Finished listening to the

Sensible approach from
@LeicesterTigers
for season ticket holders to transfer payments to next season and pause direct debits. I look forward to being back in the stadium and I really hope it can still be this season.
@carl_fearns
Jeez mate, for someone who got schooled by a back row all playing out of position in a 31-0 defeat you’re surprisingly chipper.
It appears Tigers fans are living rent free in your head despite not actually trying to. Maybe log off for a bit…?
@NASUWT
Do you lot want to get a shift on? Three other unions have already rejected the pay offer, whilst the NEU have announced further strikes. Your inertia is undermining all of us.
I’d accepted Wiggy would go - with the greatest of respect to him he’s not the strongest candidate for the Tigers head coach role.
Walters though is a MASSIVE blow. He is a HUGE reason as to how we won the premiership last season.
Explain to me like I’m five. What was Freddie Steward supposed to do then? The framework is all to cock. It has to understand that some accidents are unavoidable.
@educationgovuk
@bphillipsonMP
Glad to hear it. But please, remember alongside your pledge to recruit 6,500 new teachers that retaining existing teachers is of equal importance. Please pledge to fund schools and colleges properly. Please pledge to pay teachers properly.
Best performance of the season. Brilliant, patient display. Ground Bristol down and picked them off. Montoya is now in the conversation of being amongst the very best players ever to play for us.
Scanning through key points from yesterday.
Dan du Preez looks clearly short for Sale’s second try.
Hassell-Collins is prevented from scoring in the corner by being tackled off the ball.
Dan Kelly is clearly tripped for the winning try.
Not a great day for the officials…
@JakeSinclair16
The Ukraine flags in your name tell an interesting tale? Presumably you’re happy for people to come here from Ukraine. Why not Africa?
The other point on your tweet that needs correcting is that he was born here…
Today in the gym, I picked up a 20kg medicine ball. It was f’ing heavy.
It also happens to be the same amount of weight I’ve lost since deciding I needed to do something about it. T’was a good comparison 👍
Since everyone is asking, this precise second was my favourite

moment of 2021. First glimpse of the pitch for 15 months, back in June.

@DjokerNole
Just checking Nigel, you are now okay with people who have been refused visas by countries with their own immigration laws being able to successfully appeal this through the courts due to administrative loopholes…?
Do you actually have ANY principles….
@GillianKeegan
Given that you weren’t prepared to budge an inch in any of your meetings what was the best that you were hoping for? Put a pay offer on the table that reflects inflation and isn’t to come from existing salaries and we won’t strike. It really is that simple.
@HopeFrequency
@zarahsultana
I can’t agree with that.
Manufacturing should be closed.
Construction should be closed.
Garden centres are never essential, let alone in January.
DIY is not essential.
B&M is not a supermarket.
That’s just odd the top of my head.
If you’re reading this, there’s a good chance we’ve conversed on rugby, education, politics, trade unionism, trivial local affairs or irreverent observational humour. Dammit, we may even have agreed once or twice. Regardless, a very happy new year! 🎆
