- Alexis Sanchez looks like he's just won a competition to meet his favourite Arsenal player.
- Finlay Bealham hadn’t seen his family in Australia in over two years because of the pandemic. His mam Andrea and dad Roy finally got to see their son play (and score!) at Twickenham today. This is what it means. Great pic from @INPHOjames.
- Pretty classy from Devin Toner, who stands over the injured Andrew Conway to protect him from the play falling on top of him.
- Andy Farrell: "Oh wow. I tell you. I didn’t know whether he was standing with his mother. "He's got his shoulders back, he was ready. Waving to the crowd, stood there on his own. I thought: 'this kid's got it all'. He was amazing. He nailed it, didn't he? It was a great start."
- The French just know how to get things done. Spectacular scene for the Haka at the Stade de France 🤩
- Andrew Porter played 76 minutes last night, six days after he played 80 minutes at Murrayfield. Phenomenal engine to get through that amount of work as a prop.
- Did people ever fully appreciate how good David Wallace was? An absolute freak of an athlete 💪🏻
- James Ryan, Josh van der Flier, Mack Hansen and James Lowe played every minute of Ireland’s Grand Slam.
- Antoine Dupont has won a Sevens World Sevens title, the Champions Cup and the Top 14 this season. Sevens rookie of the year award. Man of the match in the Champions Cup final. Man of the match in the Top 14 final. Olympic medal next…?
- All the feels at Ireland's captain's run today. Johnny Sexton's family were there to welcome him onto the pitch ahead of his final Six Nations game tomorrow. Andy Farrell has made a point of including family for all major milestones. Again, points to the strong culture.
- Bundee Aki is very much part of the furniture in Ireland now. This Samoan tradition he does with the squad gathered around him is class.
- Garry Ringrose is up and talking in the medical room. Great to hear.
