keen to see how the French 7s team get on as they have Antoine Dupont playing for them - that guy can change games in a flash

I guess me and Mrs FB are fortunate to have been TOs at international paratri events so know a few of them quite well - Lauren and Claire Cashmore are always friendly and open for a chat. Lauren loves our dog (she’s met him at events when I’ve not been on TO duty but Mrs FB has).

Just watched the video, was expecting a lot worse tbh

Yeah I’ve just caught up with the video on BBC. Hate to say it but that doesn’t look like “an error of judgement”. That looks pretty normal behaviour. No wonder it was being defended on the radio. Like I said, the horse world is a vicious one, there’ll be a lot of muttering in the livery yards of the Cotswolds this week.

Not seen it…don’t really want to…

to get a horse to do something it probably doesn’t want to do will take a little coercion…

Simply a wonderful human being. Actually cried in pride watching at 2012, quite remarkable success from some very difficult circumstances at the time.

Fiji v USA is amazing. Gave the USA the false sense of security in the first 2 mins and then Fiji stepped in :joy::joy:

SA are terrorising Japan in the Rugby 7s.

The France Fiji game was good earlier.
