So it’s my understanding that most players who sign for Japanese clubs do so on the understanding or with an agreement that they won’t play Test rugby during the domestic season. Summer/Nov Tests might be ok but Six Nations looks much less likely.

Yes so I’m told! Should be fixed now. Apologies.

Hi Brodie. I know Glasgow have had the covers and heaters on the pitch since Monday, but I guess we’ll only really know tomorrow when they come off how the pitch is looking. Fingers crossed 🤞

Very sobering to listen to a figure like Peter Wright open up about his fear and anxiety following his cancer diagnosis. Excellent pod this one and I guess a wake-up call for us middle-aged men.

Tough listen. But shows what happens when you go and get a check up. Great outcome for the big guy. Hope it sparks others to go and see someone and saves lives. I went thinking I had a stomach cancer turns out I had another cancer, myeloma. But it’s now in remission. My advice, get it checked.
