People from the Rugby thread will already know how highly I rate our womens rugby teams. This is one of the many reasons why. This is just awesome and made me smile from ear to ear.

It's not just the ladies' willingness to break with tradition and protocol by giving him a hug, but his willingness to accept it - that makes him so much more "human".
And that makes me smile.

This also made me smile (if somewhat sadly), "And I hope you make the most of your time in the team because you don't stay young for very long, as I discovered, it all goes quicker than you think."

@Handle9: Being able to spend time with colleagues in person.

When I first saw this reply I read it as "Being able to spend time with colleagues in prison."

Same.

Exactly that. I am not surprised about them wanting a hug, but him wanting one back was just freaking awesome.

You're talking to a GZ member, not a Trump staffer.

Loved King Charles on news tonight guffawing at being attacked by a gaggle of women in for a scrum hug. You could see it was genuine.

Having a spare seat next to me on the plane. It’s a 380 so there’s plenty of room but bushman’s business class is always nice.

Sometimes I use big words I don't always fully understand in an effort to make myself sound more photosynthesis.

handle9: We’re fostering for a dog rescue at the moment. I’d kind of forgotten how enjoyable it is to walk a dog when they have been taught to walk properly.

When you’re in your groove together and you can walk with a slack lead in two fingers it really is one of those very pure joys. The only real problem is feeling like she’s not going to stay a foster, which will cost me a fortune at some point.

Sigh. I'm now a failed foster.

Dumb dog just wanting someone to give her a home.

What an adorable expression. Definitely not a foster dog any more. Beautiful dog.

You can't say no to those eyes! At some point when you have a dog, you suddenly realise, that dog has me suckered!

That is a gorgeous dog.
I am glad she found her new forever home.
