I’ll admit that news surprised me. Alfie always seemed to me to be a pretty straightforward sort of guy. Of course, worth noting that this is just an accusation currently.
Problem for Alfie is that he has moved into the celebrity life now, so this type of accusation won't be abnormal. I hope for his sake that it is a baseless accusation as he could be in deep trouble if not.
Alfie’s defence team have provided their replies to the accusations and from what I’ve seen it is not a good look from Alfie. Did not tell his partner of his HIV status as A) He didn’t think he could pass it on and B )his partner was promiscuous and had a fatalistic attitude to catching HIV.
Yeah, I read this too. Really poor attitude from Alfie. I've noticed that he's gone for the victim card too by saying that he's had to face some horrible comments from people. If that's the worst he gets, he should feel lucky. I don't expect to see him back on the TV anytime soon.

Virimi Vakatawa reveals heart condition has ended rugby career as France coach in tears during press conference | Wales Online
It's been claimed that the France centre has been forced to quit due to a suspected heart problem
Curious. When did they first identify the issue? Some reports say that they knew he had the issue for some time and the club and FFR doctors were monitoring it.

Liam Williams gets crushing news as year wiped out by significant injury.
Pity he won't face the AB's, he is quality and good to watch.

He reminds me of a Bumblebee in that when you look at a Bee, in theory it can't fly but by the fuck it actually flies very well. When you look at Williams and think I can drive a bus through those bandy legs, he can't possibly run and then...

Airlink Pumas vs Emerging Ireland
KO 16:00 (UK/Irish time)
Sunday 9 October 2022

Cheetahs, Griquas and Pumas are the three Currie Cup Premier League teams not playing in the URC.
Griquas and Pumas played on the CC final, Cheetahs knock out in the semi final by Pumas.
Emerging Ireland is basically the 6 Nations u20 2022 champion side.
They use the tour to build depth for the WC.

@stodders from another article:
“He must stop his career in France for cardiological reasons. A cardiac anomaly had been detected before the 2019 World Cup in Japan. This anomaly, which is not linked to rugby, has been monitored but it is an evolving pathology. The risk has become too great.”

Yeah, but maybe he's glad to be out. The coaches have all gone off to do something else, all 485 of them, doesn't mean Eddie is not a great push factor
