Kicking is on the way down – does that explain the rise in tries?
During the recently-concluded Six Nations, kicking trended downwards. This was despite the total kick metres of four of the six teams increasing on the 2024 total. Can we find any link at all between kicking, tries scored and entertaining rugby? Their total kicks dropped from 39 in round one to 22 in round five. Jack van Poortvliet of England kicks during the Six Nations 2026 rugby match between Italy and England at Stadio Olimpico.

Prince Edward and Sophie make up to £130,000 a year sub-letting stable block on £30million estate where they pay only peppercorn rent
The Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh have provoked 'outrage' after it was revealed they made £130,000 per year sub-letting stables on their £30million estate. Prince Edward and Sophie had advertised the East Wing stables at Bagshot Park, in Surrey, as an office space for £10,834 per month, pocketing £130,008 per year. However Crown Estate revenues are supposed to be paid to the Treasury, with taxpayers ultimately benefitting from the Royal Family's profits. The stables are located on the pair's 51-acre estate, around 400 metres from the main house which has 120 rooms. He said: 'It's an outrage they pay a peppercorn rent as it is and now Edward and Sophie are free to rake in £130,000 for a stable block as part of the deal.

Nevertheless, his remarks about his relationship with Slot left some worried he could depart during the winter transfer window. He has contributed one goal and three assists in the league since his return from AFCON, alongside four goals and two assists across six appearances in the Champions League and FA Cup. The most recent of those came in the Champions League this week against Galatasaray.

Conquering two Scandi cities in one weekend - including an afternoon in an anarchist commune and swerving 'the world's most disgusting food'
The Scandi cities of Copenhagen and Malmö have both been on my list for a while so I decide adapt the EDT blueprint slightly and make it an 'extreme weekend' instead. Day one of the bumper weekend trip began in Copenhagen. Within an hour, I cover much of the city centre and harbour, and it's easy to see why it's such a popular day trip from Copenhagen. For lunch, I head to Malmö Saluhall, a bustling food hall split between regional Skåne produce and global street food - from spicy ramen to freshly made falafel. If you have 72 hours to spare, I'd recommend a slow-paced, two-country trip to Denmark and Sweden in a heartbeat.

Sudden end to Gerry Adams trial could deter others from pursuing claims
Speaking in Belfast on Friday, Gerry Adams said he was pleased the case against him had been withdrawn and described proceedings as verging on a 'show trial'. During a London civil case seeking £1 in vindicatory damages, lawyers for the men argued Adams was a senior IRA figure, despite decades of denials. Adams said throughout that he had never been an IRA member and had nothing to do with the three bombings. The case on Friday came to a sudden and surprising end after Anne Studd, barrister for the claimants, sought a 90-minute adjournment until noon. The fair trial we sought – getting Mr Adams into the dock for the first time – was achieved.

Revealed: The LEAST scenic places in the UK, according to science – including a spot in the usually picturesque Cornwall
However, it seems not every corner of Britain is quite so beautiful – as a survey has revealed the least scenic locations. This revealed that urban areas score significantly lower than rural ones, with the average scenicness of an English urban area coming in at just 2.43 out of 10. This likely explains why the UK's most scenic locations are all rural areas with little sign of human activity. Previous studies have shown that spending time in scenic areas can have remarkable impacts on people's mental and physical well–being. 'For urban areas, our results suggest that preserving historic buildings is a good place to start!'

'Ageist' nursery rhymes should be confined to HISTORY lessons, woke expert says – as study claims traditional tales like 'Old Mother Hubbard' spread negative views of old people
'Ageist' nursery rhymes should be confined to history lessons, according to one expert, because they spread negative views of old people. Meanwhile, they even go so far as to argue that 'The Old Woman Who Lived in a Shoe' demonstrates a 'callous approach to parenting'. Nursery rhymes are 'powerful cultural artefacts capable of moulding thought processes', the scientists said. In this rhyme, old age is 'insinuated as being a time of forgetfulness', because the character visits several shops but seemingly forgets to buy her dog food. Positive portrayals of getting old appeared in a third of the nursery rhymes, the team revealed.

Cardiologist smashes five common myths about cholesterol - and why you might be at risk of a heart attack... even if you're slim
'Genetics, diet, age and physical activity can all have an effect on cholesterol levels. 'The problem is that high cholesterol usually causes no symptoms – until it is too late.' It can build up in the walls of arteries, forming fatty deposits that narrow blood vessels and increase the risk of heart attack and stroke. However, experts say these risks are small compared with the benefits for people with raised cholesterol or increased cardiovascular risk. <p>Your browser does not support iframes.</p>Diet can still play an important role in lowering cholesterol levels.
