Toxic, embarrassing, disgraceful, appalling. Just some of the feedback I’ve had.
Thanks for using @ sign so it’s all hit home.
Now imagine getting inundated with abuse for doing your job.
In my car crying. Hope you’re happy

My job to ask Qs. Often on a Rugby touchline. @5livesport @bbcsport @wearetrackradio [email protected]
- A little sad to think @EllisGenge has incurred the wrath of trolls. As person on the end of the microphone I didn’t feel he was disrespectful. Quite the opposite. Wonderful breath of fresh air. And he’s got his own hashtag now #sausages
- The responses to this from good rugby folk make my heart sing ❤️ Go get em AlfieThis Post is from an account that no longer exists. Learn more
- Eddie hated social media but hope he’ll excuse me just this once. One of the greatest privileges of my life to be asked to speak at his memorial. Simply adored Ed & his loss is more keenly felt than ever with the Six Nations beginning in his beloved Wales
- Half-time ovation at Twickenham for Doddie Weir. Gosh life can be cruel
- Lost my cards shopping. No cash either. On phone to bank asking what they could do as no money to get car out of car park. Young woman walked over & handed me £20. Offered to post it back but she refused. Christmas angel 👼
- Devastated doesn’t come close.The most wonderful colleague & friend. He called me La Sonj. He was always such a Francophile, Huge bear of a man partial to a polo neck jumper. And that voice. Part of the fabric of the Six Nations.Hugs to Sue and his family 💔Former Wales rugby union captain and legendary broadcaster and commentator Eddie Butler has died at the age of 65
- What now for Samoa? Locked out of new World League until at least 2030. Unfair. If this World Cup proves anything it’s that there has to be a rethink around ‘Tier 2’ nations and how best to grow the game.
- My god MND is cruel. Yet Doddie Weir still smiles broadly. Incredible man
- Pool winners France 🇫🇷 Ireland 🇮🇪 Wales 🏴 England 🏴 That’s a first for NH 🌎
- Feel for Fiji. They got diddly squat from the ref. Deserved more.
- Trying to nap on train Kids playing videos at full volume Ask if they could kindly stop Parents tell me ‘nah it’s the modern world’ I politely disagree Back in my seat with earpiece in to block noise I don’t understand people End of story
