Ollie Phillips: Leinster should sneak tight Champions Cup final

May 27, 2022

It’s going to be tight, Champions Cup finals usually are, but I think Leinster will win their fifth title tomorrow in Marseille. They have the physicality, they have the depth, and they’re stacked with match winners. They’re the favourites for sure. That said, it would be foolish to completely write off Ronan O’Gara’s La Rochelle [...]
Yoga and meditation could help you beat City stress

May 26, 2022

We would all like to live calm, anxiety-free lives, but that’s easier said than done. Working in the City is stressful, and that inevitably has an effect on our bodies as well as our minds.

I knew of him first as a statesman, then as a historian and writer, but only relatively recently discovered that Churchill was an accomplished artist, too. [...]

The A-Z of wine: G is for… Grenache, your secret favourite grape

May 26, 2022

What’s this then? Grenache is a red grape variety, until 2000 the second-most planted variety in the world. It’s most commonly associated with France but actually believed to have originated in Spain – so we should probably refer to it by its Spanish name, Garnacha. It’s capable of making ripe and juicy quaffers, hefting bruisers [...]
