HighlightsA brief glimpse into the past
With not much to do in lockdown I decided to chart the spread of #rugby. From @Scotlandteam v @EnglandRugby in Edinburgh 149 years ago to Papua New Guinea v Nauru in Port Moresby, @WorldRugby is an apt title. You can see a bit more about the data at šš

Rugby Fives: On a cold, windy, rainy or snowy day, watching or coaching on an outside Fives court is not much fun. Hence enclosure at places like Alleyn's (below), Derby Moor, Edinburgh Academy, Loretto, Marlborough and Sedbergh. Heaters and dehumidifiers are still needed, though

After the collapse of Thomas Cook Sport in Sept 2019, would have expected Clarity Sports to have picked up more than 4 team travel deals - Ulster Rugby, Leicester Tigers, Edinburgh Rugby and Rangers FC. Covid has hit travel businesses in every sub-sector.

Rugby Fives: Pre-war many courts were outside with little cover for spectators or protection from the elements: e.g. Alleyn's, Bedford, Bedford Modern (below), Blundell's, Clifton, Denstone, Edinburgh Academy, Giggleswick, Loretto, Whitgift. Some, but not all, have been enclosed.
Today is the 72nd birthday of the NHS. Weāre lighting our Edinburgh head office blue and joining @togethercoalit and the rest of the country at 5pm to clap for all the NHS workers who have gone above and beyond for us. #ThankYouTogether š
