Played Prop until injury spoilt that bit of fun, now enjoy being a Rugby Referee and Coach (Juniors and Women's.) Dad to 2 boys and a daughter. Mobro and Doddie Aider.
Great day at the Rugby in Exeter yesterday, in spite of the results. Met the @squidgerugby.bsky.social boys who do some great stuff and the daughter got some photos with Welsh players, and a decent chat with Gwen Crabb

It wasn't the result I was hoping for but still a great day. Gutted that these 2 great servants of Tigers didn't get the W to sign off. Still Finn Russell was a joy to watch.

A few weeks ago "So we're wearing our Finn shirts if Bath make the final?"
"Of course...mind you Tigers could be there too"
"You can deal with that if it happens."
I'll be the really warm bloke in his Tigers top and Finn Shirt!

Me "Good shift out there today, nice try too."
Youngest "Yeah...I was happier with my carrying and off-loads than the try. That was just short-range and carrying a couple of their players over the line." Spoken like a forward

My niece has been working as a video analyst for both Glasgow Warriors and Scotland Rugby....I admit to a tinge of stash envy when she sent me a video of her SRU kit.

Good news, my shirt matches the Youngest's boots. Eldest said he's saving his pink until tomorrow.

It's been a good few weeks of reffing - until the hammy went reffing Junior 7s on Sunday, so I popped my trackies on and helped out as an AR. If you're hanging up playing boots, pick up a whistle and stay involved.
