Six Nations: England must learn from card despite spirited performance

March 14, 2022

Eddie Jones cited England’s spirit and others will cite their determination to succeed against the odds. But in Ireland’s record 15-32 away Six Nations win yesterday, the hosts can only point to themselves to understand where it all went wrong. In what was effectively a knockout match to keep pace with France, the anticipation was [...]
West Indies result positive step for England but they need more than draws

March 13, 2022

Well it wasn’t a loss, but if England had fallen in the opening Test in the West Indies it would have been a surprise mark on their record card. Other than their reverse this winter in the opening Test of the Ashes, England haven’t actually suffered defeat in an opening Test of an away series [...]
Chelsea keep going but controversy follows club onto the pitch in ‘sportswashing derby’

March 13, 2022

After a week in which Chelsea’s future was plunged into grave doubt by the sanctioning of Roman Abramovich, today’s visit from Newcastle was about keeping going. Keeping going in the Premier League, where their hold on third place suddenly looked less secure; keeping going as a business, if technical advisor Petr Cech’s pre-match comments which [...]

Costa Navarino is the best new golf spot in the world

March 11, 2022

Surrounded by views of the ocean, the mountains, and the valleys of Messinia in the southwest Peloponnese, it’s no surprise that Greece’s Costa Navarino was named the World’s Best New Golf Development at the 2020 World Golf Awards. With two new courses designed by Masters winner José María Olazábal, Costa Navarino has now arrived as [...]
Can the world’s first climate change escape room really help us change the ways we act?

March 11, 2022

I’m standing in what used to be a Paul Smith store in Covent Garden, but instead of browsing for snazzy striped shirts I’m on my hands and knees, poking my head through a hole in a table and blowing air at a model wind turbine. Can I simulate the process of making green energy all [...]
Red Rocket review: Majestic career high for former porn star who partied with Paris Hilton

March 11, 2022

Red Rocket isn’t the first cinematic reminder we’ve had this year that penises make for hilarious viewing. Jackass Forever, the year’s most unlikely hit, was basically middle-aged men getting laughs from their appendages. This indie is going in for a slice of the same pie, although the silly jokes sit alongside a serious message about [...]
Turning Red review: Another straight-to-streaming Pixar hit

March 11, 2022

It hasn’t been a great pandemic for Pixar. Turning Red is the third film to miss cinemas entirely, heading to Disney+ in the wake of the Omicron variant. Like Soul, it seems unfortunate that a film breaking a lot of barriers should miss the big screen, being the first Pixar film to be solely directed [...]
Tommy Bowe: Ireland need to ignore England’s war of words

March 11, 2022

Former Ireland winger Tommy Bowe insists they must not be drawn in by England head coach Eddie Jones’s pre-match talk as the men in green look to keep their Six Nations hopes alive at Twickenham tomorrow. “I think Ireland are favourites,” Bowe told City PM “I think they’ll feel that they have that responsibility on [...]
