Ferrari, Red Bull and McLaren have a mountain to climb to match Mercedes, but it doesn't appear to be as cut and dried as many feared.

When I was First Sea Lord 20 years ago, I tended to send warships towards the sound of the guns. Until recently, our east-of-Suez base in Bahrain hosted minesweepers and a supply ship as well as HMS Lancaster.

It would have been farbetter if HMS Lancaster had not been stood down. But as I say, to send ships to the sound of gunfire, first you must have the ships.

The Sussexes last travelled to Australia in 2018 as working members of the British royal family. Royal historian Tim Ewart told Sky News: 'Australia broke Harry and Meghan and was one of the catalysts for them leaving the Royal Family.

Ireland too often ran the ball from inside their own 22 and the Irish boss acknowledged his side could have employed better game management. “I thought we didn't exit as good as what we've done in the past,” Farrell said. “And when we kept going out the back and playing off slow ball, then we're playing into their hands really. “It just shows that the whole of the squad is hungry to be part of it and grow their squad. It's nice to feel that the whole squad thinks it's their team, you know, and they're all trying to contribute to us pushing forward.”
