@antipodean because I am a trainspotter that prompted me to check and discover that in October last year there had been more players capped for the AB's than in the entire period before I was born.
Surprised it's taken that long TBH

Jackie Mason - one of the funniest comedians ever, died aged 93. He was a former Rabbi and one of the greats. Voiced Krusty the Clown's father.

Really sad, no band on earth was better than the sum of their parts than these guys. Rock steady bass player and very good singer too.
RIP

More horrendous news
New Zealand’s cycling community has been left shocked by the death of Olivia Podmore, who represented New Zealand at the Rio Olympics in 2016.
Her death, which has been confirmed by her family, followed a post on one of her social media accounts in which she outlined the pressures of her high level sport.

@donsteppa What was her story? It sounds like she qualified but didn't get selected, is that the case?
As a selector how the hell do you position that with people so obviously invested, especially when any one of your squad may have mental health demons that you have no idea about until they do something desperate?
RIP 2021
